If you want to talk to people, pull both sides apart, explain it, equalize it, continue.
I respect that you're trying to be constructive here, but do you think this would actually work? Put yourself in Barrier's situation for a moment. One side is heavily outnumbered and outweighed. They can't go heavier than snubs because if they do they get statchecked by higher numbers, and with the addition of you guys on snubs they have relative parity with skill levels to the molly side, if not slightly molly favoured, in addition to already each having our own personal cruisers permachasing us. This is, quite frankly, a stomp through no fault of anyone that actually logged and tried on the BAF side. It isn't a winnable fight no matter which way you look at it.
If you wait and pull people apart, people on the BAF side will most likely start logging off and leaving and that's kind of that unless you want the rest of the event to be half of the (former) molly side switching faction vs the other half of the molly side which kind of just sucks.
I don't know about you but through this lens I can see why barrier did what he did in the moment, even if I do rather heavily disagree on things like bastilling you for the name which absolutely is a moderator's job rather than a dev's. Nobody can make perfect decisions under pressure in the moment, but I don't think he was wrong for trying and I don't think he deserves to be crucified on this one.
