bow2ursensei: SO ban appeal
i want to preface this by saying regardless of the decision this will be my only appeal
since i was banned i tried my hardest to show my gratitude for the reversal to just an SO ban by being as strong a professional on the site as was humanly possible. in the 3 months i have staked out almost 6k (which i realize isn't an extraordinary number, but was the best i could do), i produced a BAP which led to my largest win ever (12.5k for HORSE), with cubbies4life's help, i ran a bonus tourney immediately afterwards to show my appreciation to the site. i added money from this tourney to a BAP to show my gratitude for their patience and their trust. also from time to time i write for PTP. i didn't do all this as a front for this appeal, i did this because i truly wanted to be a positive asset to this site. without this site i couldn't have done anything i've done in the last month, and i had no desire to ruin that.
initially i had no intention to appeal my SO ban, but when the HORSE win came, seeing as many threads pop up of congratulations and appreciation was really very humbling, and made me miss the interaction i've had with a lot of you. granted, i did liken it somewhat to the special ed kid being named MVP of a basketball game because after 25 misses he finally made a layup, but still, it was very nice to see.
i know that sounds ridiculous, but it's true. i have no desire to antagonize people, to be the same needlessly overwhelming presence i was then, all i want to do is continue doing what i've been doing the last couple months, only to be able to interact on a social as well as business level.
