Did you seriously just compare you getting yelled at for rules lawyering to racism.
You know what, I'm going to go out on a limb here. If Wonk wants to beat me up for it later, so be it, but: Get bent. To back this up with something with a little more meat on it, may I refer you to the wiki rules page:
"Bear in mind that the rules are general guidelines! Don't try to weasel or lawyer out of trouble. If the admin staff decides you are a problem for other players you can and will be removed for absolutely no reason! Deal with it! The spirit of the rules is what gets enforced, so things that are not on any rules list but are undoubtedly shit will still get you punished/banned."
Read that, then read it again, then read it a third time. The rules are INTENTIONALLY WRITTEN such as to SPECIFICALLY NOT codify every possible interaction into a big list of 'okay' and 'not okay'. This is because if we DID stick with a list of 'these are the things that are not okay, this is an exhaustive list' then we'd get shitbirds combing through the rules looking for loopholes and breaking the SPIRIT of the law if not the LETTER.
Or, you know, exactly what you did. You broke the SPIRIT of the rule. If you honestly cannot see how your actions weren't okay in the GENERAL SPIRIT of the rules, even if you found what you think (incorrectly) is a loophole, then maybe you shouldn't play here. Just because something isn't specifically listed as 'not okay' doesn't mean it is okay. Just because the DON'T DO THIS SHIT: list doesn't include your EXACT infraction doesn't mean you get away with it. You fucked up, the fact that you're trying to rules lawyer your way out of it is MAKING IT WORSE, and you really, really should stop. Right now.
