Is your logic supposed to apply to me, or to everyone? Because your interpretation of the situation is no different from mine in that it is also just another of many possibilities, and neither is inherently the correct one. You saying my interpretation is incorrect is therefore just ONE possibility as well; that of your personal interpretation. If you want to convey that someone's interpretation is incorrect, you can't do it by presenting your own interpretation as the right one.

...Unless you meant "nor is it  necessarily  the correct one." In which case I can't disagree. Lily thought Lady was being sarcastic, so she warned her, fairly respectfully. The question is, why did she? Was it something in the actual comment that gave her that unbelievably wrong impression, or was it the fact that it was Lady who made the comment? Would she have thought the same had it been an anonymous user? You already know my interpretation of these questions. You have every right to respond to that, to defend Lady, but you instead attacked Lily, claiming there's some conspiracy of prejudice going on, and trying to shut down the conversation without letting her defend herself. Okay, now you're really stretching this. If you don't think there's some conspiracy of prejudice going on why don't you ask Lady herself? I don't speak for her, but I have a pretty good feeling of what her answer would be.

And what's that about shutting the conversation down and not letting her defend herself? Excuse me if I must ask this, but did you even read the comments or are you coming from just what Lily told you? As I told her, the comments are no place for such a discussion. Even another user had to point that out. I invited her twice to continue the discussion on my message wall if she wanted to keep discussing that, but she completely ignored that and proceeded to debate in there. After she ignored me the second time, I took it to the message walls, since she refused to do so.

Lily wasn't harassing Lady, and if Lady had responded and said she wasn't being sarcastic in that comment, Lily would have apologized for the misunderstanding. If anyone is being harassed, it's Lily, by you. Subjective, biased, and not necessarily correct. Going back to your own logic, this is just YOUR interpretation. I beg to differ.

And I don't see how on earth you could possibly believe that Lady has any fight left in her about this. You forcefully removed her from the staff in a fishy and shady way which led the staff to many problems, as I'm sure you remember. Then Lily went on harassing (yes, harassing) her, jumping on her for things like this. And you dare say she should have responded herself to Lily? Please. I think all of us, Lily, Lady, you, me, need to explore better ways to express ourselves so thid kind of thing doesn't happen in the future. And I think you need to get your temper under control. Throwing insults around, accusing people of stuff, instigating fightd, trying to prevent them from defending themselves... it's not acceptable. You, Lily and me need to. Not Lady. You don't get to say what Lady needs to do anymore. She didn't even partake in this whole thing.

And don't worry, I do not take any of this as an insult or an attack.
