Well, considering I, an admin and the other Forum Moderator all read the original 'offending' comment and knew that it was a joke....

He said in the next line, 'Seriously'. This is a common way of saying 'the previous line is a joke and not to be taken seriously'. If you cannot read that next line and realise that it is meant to be a joke, then there's not much I can do to help.

Your own reaction was slightly over the top as well, both on the thread and by requesting he be permabanned. I have read through the conversation the two of you have had since then (as I went to bed not long after I replied to you originally) and you're both antagonistic towards each other. Neither one is blameless in this scenario, but neither of you deserve to be banned over it.

It boils down to a clash of personalities, but the clash has not been disruptive or negative in a way that means either of you should be banned.

If you wish to push this, I can get an admin in here who does have the power to ban people (after all, as a Forum Moderator I can't actually ban people form the wiki, only bring it to the attention of people with that power), and they can have a look. And judging by the reaction of the admin I asked to read over the conversation when you first posted this to my wall, no bans will be handed out.
