Well, there's the whole thing. If that person IS banned from chat. Wouldn't it at least be a remotely fair judgement that maybe if two people are fighting, and one has been banned. That you can gather, who -started- it?

Not always the case. A prior record does not mean the other party is viewed as innocent.

What if in a situation where someone with a prior record was in fact innocent and people viewed him/her as guilty? There was actually a book that goes along with a situation like that and it's called "To Kill a Mockingbird", or if you like movies you can watch "My Cousin Vinny" where the individual(s) that were blamed were in fact innocent. It was the people accusing them that had made the mistake.

If anything, and pushing the convo off topic, watch that movie or read that book. They're pretty interesting and sometimes stories like that can help with roleplaying. I'm currently using that logic in a roleplay I'm in where the main party that is blamed has been framed for the attempted murder of someone else. :)
