I don't even dislike Firepluk all that much, really. There have certainly been days when I enjoyed playing with him.

The problem is his persistently disrespectful play, attitude, and language towards other users. Even when it does not actually cross the line into obviously actionable abuse (and it often did not cross that line), Firepluk's behaviour still drives away many players and (perhaps worse) encourages others to replicate him - spreading the meme of disrespect further. Firepluk has the better part of a year of ingame time personally and yet it would not surprise me to find that he has driven away a sum total of players that would exceed that total.

His persistent angle shooting whenever admins did attempt to rein him in was also a problem, and that is part of why the warning is worded the way it is, to avoid ambiguity that it is possible to hide in and create drama whinging about admin abuse or whatever.

Not every situation is explicitly covered by the Code of Conduct. Sometimes this is because the Code of Conduct is insufficiently specific; this is necessary if it is to be kept to a reasonable length. At other times, events can occur that are so extreme that the Code of Conduct and the precedent of previous modactions does not fully cover the situation. The spirit of this goal takes precedence over the exact wording of the Code of Conduct.[/quote][/spoiler]
