Reading this thread, it seems to me that a lot of you people really hunger to see punishment.

When I see the justifications people give, it's even more obvious. "People who have done bad things are bad, and bad people do not deserve understanding." It's a shallow argument.

It's an argument for people who are naive enough to believe that there ARE "bad" people and "good" people. For people who want things easy. These things do not exist. Things are *not* that simple.

Mr. Rogers once said: ""Frankly, there isn't anyone you couldn't learn to love once you've heard their story"

Or, if that's not sacred enough for some of you: "John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

I'm fine with punishment, but punishment *forever*? *Unforgivable punishment* ? There's no logical basis for that. It's far too black and white.

Square Enix's current system has obvious flaws. Time between infractions, the severity of the infraction, and the length of punishment should *all* be taken into account when deciding how to treat their players.

And for those of you who would still rather release the guillotine before hearing the plea, consider that your rush to judgement might be a product of modern Cancel Culture as opposed to true and fair justice. I feel I can say this because I have seen it's influence on myself. And we are not very different.
