Tribunal Defense?

So, the tribunal, great function, allow players to judge their peers on their behavior, but why is it that the accused can not perform some form of defense for their own manner? the person reporting them can make their case, but the person being accused has absolute no say in it just gets reported, what if it was a double standard manner? What if the person who reported them also harassed the other? It would only be reasonable that, when, a person is reported for anything they be allowed to post some sort of defense for themselves when they get the warning and or when they next log on before the case is displayed. Otherwise, it might seem a bit one-sided, when will the accused get to make their case of the story? It would simply only be fair to allow the accused to make a statement in their defense for the community to weigh, otherwise, they are only leaning on the word of one person (or many) but in cases where a player was being harassed in team and they tell the enemies to report, the enemies might not necessarily know what had already happened so theres a stack of reports against one person and that person can't even respond against it.
