Hey all, regarding anything being said about my discord server:
We, for the first time ever, had to take mod action and remove someone from the server. Basically in the three days they were active, they were coming off as argumentative, aggressive and arrogant, repeatedly coming after folks with their "facts" and such that often left others with bad tastes in their mouths, about completely minute things. It came to a head one day when they said something that was blatantly false, they were called out on it, and got increasingly aggrevaged saying they didn't say what they'd said and that people were putting words into their mouth.
The mods pulled all involved aside, and everyone instantly said "yeah I realized I went too far and I apologize", everyone EXCEPT this new person, who, when told their behavior was out of line, DEMANDED I show them the EXACT LINES in which they misbehaved. And when I said "I can't do that right now" they went off on me for being unprofessional and childish for accusing them of something without proof.
Despite that proof being right there in group chat.
They acted as though I singled them out alone. Their neurodivergence never came up in our discussion, nor was it ever a factor in the mods' decision to ask everyone involved to behave, and yet they're accusing us of using that against them. Despite most of our server being ND. Ok?
The fact of the matter is that they were asked to not come across so aggressive in the future and to step away next time when things get heated, and instead they yelled at me for an hour. In the end they chose to leave before we could kick them, a mutual decision.
Please don't believe their crocodile tears. I strive to make my fandom experience as positive as possible. Being asked to behave nicer is not a court of law, and does not require irrefutable proof of wrongdoing. If others are upset at your behavior, you have misbehaved. End of story.
Anyone is free to talk with me about it. I can upload screenshots of my conversation with the person once I edit out their name if anyone wants to see - because I'm not here to name and shame, I'm here to try to have a good time.

Mesa Verde National Park (No. 10)
With the introduction of corn to the Mesa Verde region c. 1000 BC and the trend away from nomadism toward permanent pithouse settlements, the Archaic Pueblonians transitioned into what archaeologists call the Basketmaker culture. Basketmaker II people are characterized by their combination of foraging and farming skills, use of the atlatl, and creation of finely woven baskets in the absence of earthen pottery. By 300, corn had become the preeminent staple of the Basketmaker II people's diet, which relied less and less on wild food sources and more on domesticated crops.
In addition to the fine basketry for which they were named, Basketmaker II people fashioned a variety of household items from plant and animal materials, including sandals, robes, pouches, mats, and blankets. They also made clay pipes and gaming pieces. Basketmaker men were relatively short and muscular, averaging less than 5.5 feet (1.7 m) tall. Their skeletal remains reveal signs of hard labor and extensive travel, including degenerative joint disease, healed fractures, and moderate anemia associated with iron deficiency. They buried their dead near or amongst their settlements, and often included luxury items as gifts, which might indicate differences in relative social status. Basketmaker II people are also known for their distinctive rock art, which can be found throughout Mesa Verde. They depicted animals and people, in both abstract and realistic forms, in single works and more elaborate panels. A common subject was the hunchbacked flute player that the Hopi call Kokopelli.
