it makes me happy that you enjoy the discord channel. i believe OP already made it clear that your friend is popular among the patrons of your group chat, but seeing you come to defend their character in this old, downvoted submission on a completely different social media platform really reinforces that, so thanks for sharing your perspective.

i can only speak on what i saw in the screenshots, and in that very specific context, it's clear that your friend intended to provoke OP. you say he answered with "facts", when he answered with a question that served to strip the very specific context provided by op. i don't know if there's a history that you think might warrant this kind of behavior, like if OP often harasses the group and maybe you all were just having a laugh at his expense, but it is what it is.

Either way he's banned for swearing. i'm sure time will heal op and those who might have a hard time taking op back. or not and the cycle will repeat. it'll be like having your own personal chat room clown that you suspend occasionally, right? haha
