So, I'm sure you have heard of what happened with Yumms and Elks and QT. I don't know if you've noticed, and you'll probably get angry at me for saying this, but people have misinterpereted debates, talks, and/or disagreements as fights, and it's been a recurring issue. This is what's been happening with me, remember? And now it's getting out of hand. Zi's version of the rule is much better because it clearly states when the consequences should come into place. The problem with your rule is that it enforces the "a small friction can quickly lead to a fire" philosophy, which is only going to drive people away from the wiki and allow people to abuse the rule more because no one can disagree with each other.

Now, I've heard the story behind this recent situation. I can confirm that Elks and QT were not fighting. They were merely discussing a situation that was relatively harmless. They were both being calm, when Yumms misunderstood the situation (which, again, happens often here), and threatened to ban them. They tried to explain, but it came to Yumms yelling at them. One of his insults included wishing they never existed. He also repeatedly kicked them from chat, clearly abusing the rule.

Now that this has happened to someone other than me, can you finally admit that people need to have a better recognition of when to use the rule? Innocent users are being punished because they weren't fighting, but someone thought they were. I hope you finally realize how serious this is.
