I've had to view twoplustwo from a different browser since I was banned for five years now because I don't want to clear my internet cache and when I open the site it won't let me even view it. I tried to create another account the other day and it got instabanned based on my IP. The level of inconvenience to me is very high, that's part of the reason why I care.
I'm not going to fundamentally change, I'm a 37 year old man. I can try to improve myself and my behaviors but fundamentally I'm going to still be the same person, nothing can change that except if a donkey kicks me in the head or a rail spike impales my frontal lobe. As Popeye so eloquently put it, "I yam what I yam". Me changing seems to be a requirement to get my old account back however and I'm not saying I'm unwilling to change, I'm saying it's impossible. Asking me to do something impossible seems like it's asking too much to me.
I've asked Bobo for something concrete to look forward rather than at his whim when he thinks I've changed. Will I get it? Is it unreasonable to ask to be unbanned in a year from now? Tell me how I should behave in that timeframe and I'll do it.

It's more an issue that his current account posted this
the day after he created it. Then he got his first infraction on the new account less than 2 months later (and no, not for criticizing a mod) .
Since then, he's managed to rack up 3 pages of infractions, 7 user notes and at least three temp-bans that I know of. Over half of those issues are not "contempt of mod," even if it was OK to abuse people for volunteering in a way you don't like. As I said above, the fact that he's also posted some really good stuff is likely the only reason that he's been given so much slack.
Yes I was incorrect in saying that all of my infractions were for bad mouthing the mods. I should have added "recently".
Look if I deserve to be banned, go ahead and ban me then. If not why can't I have my old account back? I think rickroll answered that question correctly: "punitive buttstuff".

I generally agree he's one of the better mods on here. He's still a cop though. He's also Canadian. These are the facts against him.
