Just a guess, it could be an attitude thing. The tone of that post was amazingly accusatory, self-righteous and smug.

Translation: "I'm right - you're wrong. Yeah, that's right." Has it occurred to you that Shokai and Valguarnera may have spoken to those same nebulous high-level imms and said imms reconsidered? Or maybe they decided to lift the ban without consulting whoever instituted it in the first place? I guess they would check stuff like that out before making a claim that something went "horribly wrong".

I think that, despite an apology and three characters who haven't misbehaved, they consider you an unacceptable risk. What happens if they have to bust you for something again? Will you flip out like you did last time? You say you won't, but if we're going on sheer probability then someone who's done it once is probably more likely to be the kind of person who'd do it twice.

>What, my post about a balance issue gets me banned?

I think it just brought it to their attention that you were playing again. Not the content of the post, per se.

Sour grapes always help make one's point.

This is another discussion tactic that tends to irritate people - patronization. The "concerned lament" that someone else can't see things the way you do.
