So the bad guy here isn't Mystic but me? That's rich.
Do you know how it actually feels to get back-stabbed by a friend? Forgiveness is harder to do nowadays.
I'm also voting for him to get permanently IP-banned from anything related to SRB2.
Jumping in for the first time in this thread (I think?) to quickly mention that jumping to assuming such a statement is directly claiming you are a bad guy, is only going to increase that thought of 'toxic behavior'. They weren't calling you a bad guy, and everyone here is in agreement Mystic was an issue.
They were telling you that your approach to this, is rather harsh and cold, unforgiving. Forgiveness may be harder to do, but what you are claiming is removing any possibility of it even being attempted. Apologies mean a lot, and I can understand this may be difficult to imagine if you experienced what you described. Having experienced it myself multiple times, I understand it, I truly do. But forcing someone so far away that they cannot even say their side of the story, is akin to a currently horrible method of 'justice' that is spread around nowadays. I will not go too deep into it, but there's a reason why
both sides of the story are equally important to at least hear out.
To make someone unable to say their side of an issue is to remove information. The reason we WANT the information is so we can make a fully informed decision, not so we can forgive them and move on. You are claiming that the best method to handle this, is to remove them entirely from everything related to this fangame. This is the toxic behavior that gets so many people wrongly insulted or hurt, and while the anger is justified, and I fully agree Mystic deserves the ire of everyone here, myself included, this is, in fact, 'toxic behavior'.
Long story short, Mystic is the bad guy still, nobody's calling you the bad guy. Your method of handling this, however, is a dangerous view to have, as it also eliminates all possibility of new information coming to light from the accused themselves, which can easily backfire in so many scenarios. Do not mute the accused and make them unable to defend themselves, let them speak their final words should they choose to, so that they may be judged with the entire story, rather than simply one side.
Nobody here can truly forgive Mystic, but Mystic still deserves to have his point of view explained, should he so desire.
