The only thing I called opan out on was being a hypocrite and making up excuses not to provide any kind of reasoning (personal feelings or otherwise) to his side of the debate.
It was more of a general statement about everyone attacking his reasoning rather than his points than you in particular. His reasoning didn't matter in this case, only the content of his points. What I'm saying is you take the person out of the debate and focus solely on the topic. That's how any real debate is held and any good moderator worth his salt would disregard anything you had to say as soon as you started to attack the other debater.

He doesn't have any, and likely won't be able to provide any, because he thinks personal feelings count as logical backing. I didn't ask him for his logical backing after this reply, I wanted to know why he decided to side with Jacob; is it because he likes to support the underdog? Respects Jacob's opinion? It's more about who he is as a person rather than the debate itself. I do realize that this isn't entirely related because of that.
Well as he never really stated you're jumping to conclusions. I told him he was wrong to think of Jacob's personal opinion as logical backing. You don't have to keep explaining yourself, we're going around in circles at this point, I know you wanted to know why he was backing her up and I'm telling you that doesn't affect whether or not koko should be allowed to stay, his reasoning(poor or otherwise) doesn't discredit his points. So drop that or ask him in private so we can move on.

On topic though,
People constantly bitch about the state of the community, "there isn't as much going on, it's boring and uninteresting, not what it used to be". I think the major point Koko has going for her is entertainment. Drama does in some respects help a community grow and stay interesting and this is basically what a lot of users have been asking for. For something to happen, for there to be a single object they can collectively rally against without stepping on toes and ruining relations. It's something that can be discussed other than random image macros, YouTube videos and Tegumi obsessions. Which, if taken from a utilitarian standpoint, provides a decent amount of benefit.
That's my argument for her, Koko drama is the most community centric subject to arise in a while. On the other hand there's a mountain of evidence against her coming back and a lot of butthurt.
I think she should be unbanned, if only for "teh lulz". But I think she should stay banned because it probably wouldn't be the logical choice as far as the debate has gone.
Glad this was part of your post. The issue that I'm running into and the major reason I feel we cant allow her back is that while she might be enjoyable to watch as she continuously crashes and burns she is a poison for a specific group of people that she privately and sometimes publicly harasses, a major violation of our rules. If I could ensure she never sent another nasty pm to a user she felt wronged her I would be much more inclined to allow her return. I know no one can promise me that, the very fact she sent me a nasty pm as I gave her a last chance with this thread pretty much precludes any chance of her reform happening.

I think my performance was beautiful.
Anyway so as usual you had to get steam blown up your ass before you can start aone of your debates. You know..I said jacob said this is between me and you.
Not Me. And Ib. Aaaaaaaaand you. Everytime, everywhere ANYWHERE I stand on my own two feet. If something's wrong with someone I don't go and hide behind a crowd. I don't care if you don't have respect for yourself or other people but your not gonna disrespect and try to lie about me to your boyfriends.
Why don't you act 30 and take this where this should be. NOT in front of your backup dancers but in PM Like you always say to everyone else. That's where I started it. Thats where you should have kept it. I don't care about you're need for attention and love for drama and debate right now this shit isn't workin for me. Because unlike you and simple minded anger loving Tegumi and whoever else is up your ass in the drama club kidzone-
I. Have the ability, to talk and act and present myself like the adult Iam when it is needed. Take this to pm's. Now. Don't make me say this again.
-looks down and points my finger at you firmly liked disciplining a child-
Do you really not understand how this is/was meant to help you? The second I started reading your pm I wanted to ban you.
I am trying to justify letting you come back. I don't want you back, and to be honest I'm perfectly fine leaving you banned for all time but here I am once again trying to give your another chance.
Alright then, let's boil this down.
Do you still want to come back?
if not then go on your merry way and keep doing whatever, we can just continue as we have for the past year+.
If you do want to return shut the fuck up for a bit, let this thread play out and
read what people have to say. Take it as constructive criticism and grow as a person. If you're really the "adult" you claim to be you know there are times when you need to shut your mouth; this is one of them. You are asking for a favor, stop biting the hand that feeds you.
I want you to understand your only chance at ever coming back to Fakku while I work here is this thread and only in the off chance that someone thinks of a great reason to keep you, because I can't think of one that's worth all of this.
