On the contrary, I did give him time to respond. Every time he did respond though was in ways that pretty much made the situation WORSE.
That is true, but only because you deliberately set it up so that would be the case.
While I have not been entirely reasonable when dealing with him, your immediate jump to his defence the majority of the time even when what he did was frankly bullshit and made no sense hasn't exactly given Elf the option to punish him without offending you.
I jump to his defence because I don't agree with what is being said. If I disagree with him I am quite happy to say so.
Hell, you've stated that if Lantz is barred from this you'll leave. That quite frankly limits the options Elf has with dealing with Lantz, and is really only making the situation worse.
I stated that because I don't think what Lantz had done at the time was remotely close to deserving being kicked from the RP, and also because I was generally annoyed with how other people were interacting with me. It was not a general statement, it applied to that specific situation.
He was told to take his sister upstairs mike, he would have been back down after doing so. Unfortunately as I said Rin interrupted that to make a power play.
do as you need however
Lantz, Kiyoshi was holding swords and glaring at the guy who he thought threatened his mother. Do you really think he was going to be fine with just being ignored, even temporarily? Honestly, I was considering having him attack Satoshi straight away, but I held back to give Satoshi at least a chance to explain. He didn't take it, and there's no way Kiyoshi is letting him just walk out the door without an answer.
