I read the entire thread, and as I said, it's all my interpretation. Mine is not more right than yours, but you're the one making statements like "There is no way she could find that to be sarcastic."

I cannot speak for Lily, but I have had others tell me that they find Lady sarcastic a lot of the time. I think it's the emotes she uses, tbh. I don't think she's trying to be, but I can see how others might.

And again, imo, Lily's warning was stern, sure, but was justified. And just like you'd be justified to defend Lady in response. However, you immediately went into an attack mode, and you can't be mad that Lily responded in a similar fashion, although I agree that some of the things she said were also inappropriate.

However, and you seem to forget this: Lady has a history of being nasty and snarky to people. That's why she was demoted. It is not some conspiracy against her, nor was it shady or fishy. I LIKE Lady. She's a good person and a great editor. I think, overall, she handled her demotion well, and handled this particular situation well too, but there is not some conspiracy going on against her, or you.

My point was that, if Lady had responded to Lily's comment warning her (and not you responding) Lily would have apologized. It's not secret that they don't like each other, but they do generally function well on a professional level.

My issue here is how YOU handled it. I feel like you went immediately into an attack on Lily that was not justified, and devolved into insults immediately. It started a fight that was unnecessary, and I really want you to realize that. I'm worried about you, on a personal level too.

I admit that I may not be entirely unbiased, but I try to be. When we have this kind of infighting, it puts all of us into awkward positions. I do think I understand where you're coming from, Killian, and I'm not telling you you're wrong, it's just the method I disagree with. You guys don't have to be friends, but we do need to maintain a higher level of respect than we've been showing one another.
