I think it comes down to what you think talking is tbh.
Like if I told someone to come talk to me(in fact I actually have told two people I had issues with in private to come talk to me if they ever feel I’m doing a bad job as a mod, and that goes to anyone) and if that person or people come to me in what I feel is an aggressive way, I’d be super defensive. Now it’s different here since the way Punk was at the presser, but like you probably don’t think 3 dudes gonna roll up into your locker room and everything like that in a yelling matter. So where Punk shouldn’t be surprised they came to his locker room, I think feeling how he did about how they did it can surely catch him off guard.
