You absolutely didn't ban him 5 minutes after his post, it was hours later. He wasn't even de-modded until nearly an hour later. Lightless handled one of their staff going rogue and causing drama/panic in an absolutely abysmal way. Take the situation as a lesson and learn from it.

Lie all you like, won't change my opinion of you.

Additionally, the said moderator remained a mod till the backlash in the discord got too bad. Actions speak louder than words for me.
