Honestly, it often feels like we hear things along the lines of "this community needs to be nicer to each other" and "everyone should be able to solve their problems without needing a GM" from people who've explicitly been banned for serious things, often including the fact that they just... weren't a good person to the peers around them, when it came down to it.
Is it in some parts true that people should be nicer to each other? Perhaps - but it's also tone deaf coming as often as it does from people who never truly got that message themselves. Often reads as wanting more room to avoid GM scrutiny for awful behaviour under the pretense of 'communication', even with a malicious peer, by trying to encourage people to avoid going to GMs about things they are well within their rights to.
It's been a year, the community still feels the scars of the things you did. You're in no place to tell them to be nicer.
