"argument
2. a reason or set of reasons given with the aim of persuading others that an action or idea is right or wrong."
Don't stop at the first definition of a word.
I'm a blunt and direct person. I'm also not part of the current generation or "in tune" with their oversensibilities and penchant for taking anything as offensive if it it doesn't come with enough sugar-coating to induce psychological diabetes. If you will take being told something straight up as biased, aggressive or whatever you might mean with "extremely suggestive," that's all on you.
Some people want x1, others want higher, and neither has any "right" to have their way over the other or has anything "owed" to them regarding rates. No matter what decision the Staff eventually makes, there will be people *****ing and insulting us, playing victim and prophetizing how it was a big mistake and THIS time we are doomed. There's no making everyone happy, and the decision will be made based on what's best for the server and the experience we want to offer overall, not on whichever rates we did or didn't host in the past.
