The original appeal can be located here.

Connortim's last response:

I have something to say about that, and I hope this appeal is reconsidered. As a player, I have the right to reappeal, since you did not state so otherwise. So please do not automatically decline this.

I did not say my post was not rude. I said that my post was not directly and extremely rude toward Connor, and that because he asked for my opinion, it is not my fault that he did not agree with it. And because of those two points, my ban is illegitimate.

You cannot ban someone because you asked for an opinion.

I admit my post was rude. Rude in the sense that I had said Cypriot did not possess a p***s, was under the influence of an illegal substance, and that his business was failing. What I had said about Connor was a simple truth that could not have been reworded in a way that would be as simple and/or effective.

If the word choice has offended you, I apologize. However, the words themselves were not explicitly impolite or offensive, because they state simple facts without using crude language, offensive slurs, or meant to arouse any type of negative emotion, which is what rudeness is defined as.

What I had said was not eloquent, it was not kind, but it most certainly was not rude toward Connor.

Furthermore, my right to an shortened/removed ban does not lie in my ability to empathize, but instead in your ability to accept what you had asked for. You asked for my honest opinion, and you not accepting the truth is your mistake.

There is no reason for me to have been given the longest possible ban time (as per the infraction thread) in this specific context.

You cannot ban someone because you asked for an opinion.

You cannot ban someone because you did not agree with said opinion.

You cannot refuse to consider an appeal because the person was not grovelling at your feet.

You cannot refuse to consider an appeal because the person does not want to own up to your mistake.

I would appreciate if this was thoroughly reconsidered, considering the situation of my statement, and what I have written in this appeal and the last appeal, which is linked above for those who have not yet read it.

Thanks Sargent

 

Can I get a response on this? I just want to make sure that staff has seen this. It's fine if the staff need time.

 

Pretty sure this has been seen. Retagging just for safety. Connortim9
