The situation referenced here had nothing to do with the player and everything to do with the character. This specific character had multiple instances of doing the same behavior that got them in trouble. If someone had been a little more firm on one of the multiple previous instances where this character had repeated the behavior, then this character might not have had to get such a heavy hit after they continued to do it.

Can you add some clarity to your comment that implies this player was treated differently because of who the actual player is?
