I mean, my thread was unlocked, and I hope Pickle has learned his lesson about talking to people first before exercising his mod powers. I think that is about as smooth as it could have gone, and was the outcome I expected when I chose to escalate it. If you think it could have reached the same result through other means, that's literally just speculation on your part. I did it my way, and as far as I see it, my way reached the outcome I wanted.
