There isn’t anything more to discuss here, Dman. You have been provided a great deal of insight into the why already from myself and from other posters in this thread.
What other people are saying is entirely irrelevant. Your penalty is based on your actions, no one else. We do not review surrounding chat logs outside of the appropriate reporting process simply to provide a sense of personal vindication.
I believe this one has been clarified as much as it can be so I’m going to lock it up. Thanks, all!
