When I omitted Kopikris' username from my reference to them, I considered it as a sort of opportunity for them to silently back off without further implicating themselves in the Shakurel Cat fiasco. Unfortunately, it turned out that they could not be convinced that Shakurel Cat was bad, and continued to edit the page with personal beliefs which contradicted general consensus until it was finally protected.

While I disagree that my reasons stemmed from cowardice, I also believe the logic I used then was flawed. By ommitting his name from the conversation, I feel that I implied that Kopikris was unworthy of being named, when to my knowledge Shakurel Cat is the only page they've ever contributed to in an unconstructive manner. I will avoid committing this kind of disrespect in the future.
