Hello, and to whom it may concern,
Butane has banned me temporarily for the reason of "Inciting admin" for roughly one week. While there were 4-5 players on both teams on this particular prop-hunt game Butane had issued forth a warning to an individual who was not killing a prop (allow me to paraphrase that very roughly, "Are you going to just sit there, or actually hunt props... No further warnings will be given").
At this particular point in time, Butane did not confirm that the pyro was actually aware of the prop's presence, and even had the pyro been fully aware, this was still well above the "number of props remaining" to allow a "buddying-up" of sorts betwixt the pyro and the prop. Noting this lack of procedure, I just merely pointed out to Butane that "...[he] would probably ban a lone individual on the server, for the very reason that they would neither be killing, nor being killed" (via voice chat, sorry there is no concrete evidence of this exchange, but the transcription is fairly accurate, those on the server with voice chat turned on can attest). At which point, I was banned from the server for "Inciting admin". I fail to see how merely pointing out a fact can be described as inciting anything, other than a clamor of pondering/intelligent debate, which is what I had hoped to inspire. Unfortunately, the creative atmosphere was brought to quite a halt, as the key speaker took my statement to be a personal attack and proceeded to expunge me as though I were some person of no merit or worth.
I do quite hope that this matter shall be looked into, on behalf of all out there who wish for safe havens of constructive thought.
Most kind regards,
Kirby

EDIT: My bad, I meant to say "Instigating admin"
I apologize
