But I am disappointed. There are ways to approach pain. And Draco and I were offering one that you weren't - empathy. Because regardless of what he said, however mean it may have been, he said it from a place of hurt. You were calm, but superior. Your word choice ("Don't forget..." "to insult my friends by your own logic" "I stayed calm and reasonable") pushed blame onto Baboon for being irrational. That's not how you resolve conflict.

And without even waiting for him to respond, you bring out the potential for him to be banned and side yourself with wanting to do it yourself. Great. What makes him respect you for that?

I'm not angry, because anger won't solve this. I never said that I was letting his more hurtful comments slide, though. I'm simply appreciating his pain.
