1) Is it a joke because he says it is a joke after the fact? That's the reason why several teachers let bullies off from tormenting someone.

"You should've assumed that I was joking." That is the logic bullies use to justify themselves.

2) In forum posts, chats or even messages, it is hard for people to dicern what are the intentions of a person. So the message they send is bound to the current state of the person regarding the matter.

I said I was concerned over the thread halting to a stop, worried that some people got drove away by one of my comments, then "Someone" goes and suggests that it is because of a story idea I had. The timing and circumstances lead me to believe that he did it with ill-intentions.

3) I've owned up to my mistake and apologized. He has not. He just argued why he isn't at fault and that he was just joking. Yet he hasn't apologized.

I don't want his apology, but that should give  you, the mods, a clear view of his character.

I revoke my request to perma-ban him. Do whatever you please.
