While I agree with you and others on most points, there are often cultural differences that can come into play
It may be that Maseum thought that introducing himself in the way that he did was “the thing to do” as English does not appear to be his first language.

But that’s not the point I was trying to make.
naikonta and others had spent some time pointing him in the right direction, normally that would then be reflected in a more balanced XP, but he was being canned for no good reason I thought at that time, bare in mind this was a first post having joined only 3 days before.

It would appear that subsequent Monks agreed ++, and as you pointed out its now +19 / -14 instead of -4 a more balanced tally.
