Until I get further evidence, I have to assume that Tony Stark is arbitrarily being punished for a mixture of partying and being awesome.

[Added later.]

I was right. The wardens are officially the fun police.

[Private - Tony Stark]

Dude, what happened? Why are you in zero? Did you make a robot that went crazy or something?

You don't have to listen to anything. If he's your friend, then I'm sure he'll be happy to tell you what happened himself.

Personally, I think everyone here, even inmates, deserve to have a little privacy.

[sharpememory]

Guess his warden shouldn't have announced that he was being locked up, then? Take it up with that guy, not with me. I'm just following his lead.

[buildindreemz]

Charles was letting everyone know where Tony is, and that he's safe.

You, on the other hand, are a gossip-mongering attention whore looking to stir up as much shit as you can because you think it's funny. It's up to Tony if he wants to tell you or anyone else why he's in Zero.

[sharpememory]

Heard that before. Where I come from, they're planning to put people like me in camps to make sure that they're "safe". Because that's not fucked up and a violation of our rights at all. But hey, just as long as everyone is safe, right?

Uh huh. Personally, I think that the shit you just listed is stuff that Tony might be down with. Have you asked him? Or are you just assuming stuff?

[buildindreemz]

Yeah yeah, where you come from there are death camps and things are terrible. You're far from the only one. But this is the Barge and he's in Zero. No one's hurting him. You even know exactly when he's getting out.

Like I said - he can tell you as much or as little as he wants. Trying to stir shit with others about it isn't productive or useful for anyone.

[sharpememory]

I don't know that. What if he's down there hurt and no one is letting him see a doctor? I just gotta take your word for it?

Yeah, whatever. You call it stirring shit, I call it making sure that my friend is fine.

[buildindreemz]

Until he sobers up, yeah, you will.

Making sure your friend is fine - I would think that would entail a private message, maybe a visit down to Zero if your Warden says it's okay. Shit-stirring is making a public post intended to cause problems and foment mistrust between Wardens and Inmates because you're bored, or you think it's funny.

[sharpememory]

I did send a message and he hasn't replied.

What you're calling shit stirring is me being concerned. Caring isn't a bad thing.

[buildindreemz]

Still sleeping it off, then.

A public post about how you think he's being punished for partying has nothing to do with you caring about anyone. No one is fooled.

[sharpememory]

Whatever you say.

Uh huh. You just keep assuming that. It's not my fault that you can't get the fact that sometimes people care about each other.

[buildindreemz]

I see no caring or compassion in your post. Just gleeful shit-stirring.

[sharpememory]

Yeah, because you're totally looking out for my interests and thinking about how I might feel.

[buildindreemz]

Trying to protect a little of Mr. Stark's privacy and dignity is what I'm doing. That's what people do when they care.

[sharpememory]

Bullshit. People who care know that some things are more important than privacy.

[buywithme]

Sister, when you're worried about the conduct of the wardens and they refuse to explain themselves to you, sometimes you do just try to make enough noise that they'll give you the answers you want.

I'm not going to say that this is a well communicated expression of concern, because it's not, but you calling my inmate an 'attention whore' and a 'shit stirrer' is a completely inappropriate response.

This post isn't incitement to anything, trying to rile inmates up against the wardens isn't Barron's MO. I think you should step away and leave this here.

[buildindreemz]

I gusss we'll have to agree to disagree on what's "appropriate". Sometimes hearing the truth is necessary.

But he's your Inmate. Really, all yours.

[buywithme]

I find that a very ironic defense, considering this was caused by Barron's frustration over Charles's decision to withhold the truth.

He and I have talked about this now, and I'm going to take him down to level zero so he can verify for himself that Mr. Stark hasn't been mistreated, but for the record? Barron comes from a place where those in authority could and did take people like him into police custody and held them indefinitely without needing a reason, so here? When he raises trouble because an inmate who is his friend is taken to level zero without any reason being given? No, Sister, he is not being a shit stirring attention whore.

You thought you were protecting Mr. Stark's privacy and dignity, well, Barron thought he was speaking out to object to Mr. Stark's causeless imprisonment. I can recognize that your intentions here are good, but you've misread his motives.
