Here's an incomplete, sourced list of some points on the PBot/Psi situation, leaving out those from the Cloudy situation last month.

  1. Since Psi was already getting frustrated in the comments, PBot's remarks [1] and [2] show a lack of care about de-escalation. Even outside the Psi situation, PBot has escalated arguments before even with beginners who're already offended, such as [13]. So PBot's behavior isn't unique to this situation. (Whether a copy of Mh's comment or not, it's still escalation)
  2. List of apologies [3]. This is up for interpretation, but I judge creating a public list of wrongdoings of another user and threatening punishment if Psi didn't immediately apologize [4] to be humiliation. We may also ask, since the apology is repeatedly forced [4][5][6][7], is the apology really for the purpose for Psi to reflect on the listed actions and possible consequences, or a public demand for retribution from PBot?
  3. A small example of self-contradiction from PBot (not extreme enough to call "hypocrisy"): PBot has criticized Psi for judging what the OP is able to do here [8], but in [9] PBot judges what Psi is "ready" to do on their own. In this way, PBot is painting Psi's behavior as rude and offensive, while in reality what Psi said is not as offensive as claimed.
  4. Similar to the point above, another example of PBot exaggerating Psi's behavior is [10]. I would say at most three of these are actually offensive, and the other four are either honest mistakes, such as how Psi could have honestly forgotten about LNGN. Or misinterpretations, like the point below:
  5. (Gave this its own line since it's long.) P claimed "I do not require anybody ... to spend any time on me." was an "obvious fake" [12] by claiming that Psi requested others spend time, by saying "don't stop until you have a perfectly clear understanding". But checking the original context, this "don't stop" quote was in response to PBot asking "what can I do?" in the first place [11], so PBot offered the time in the first place. This is therefore not a fake by Psi, but instead PBot removed the context of Psi's message, making Psi look bad.

For PBot[]

Since you will most likely read this, please reflect on what you've done. It's not sufficient to brush this section off using others' behavior either. This is serious business, and taking people's words out of context does nothing to alleviate this drama, but instead makes it worse and adds more tension. Veteran users such as Username and Psi have already quit completely because of this drama. So please, think over what you have done and methods by which to prevent this sort of escalation in the future.
