Events leading to the ban
I was saying provocative things in OOC after a match, followed by sentences that reduced their provocativeness. Part of this was that I was intending to get banned, because of some childish impulse and notion. The notion therein was that whenever I play on the server, despite playing for the required amount of time on something, I am not as fast, efficient or knowledgeable as anyone, and am essentially no fun to play with (in my opinion). Instead of just accepting that that is okay, I said something offensive. I do believe however that what I said was taken without the follow up sentence, which pointed the proverbial provocation toward myself.
Reason the ban should be removed
My friend wants me to play with them, and I shouldn’t disappoint them with this incident due to my own fragility I do not think saying something mildly provocative or offensive, with absolutely no actual intent or meaning behind it (aside self-loathing) should be a permaban. Maybe a long ban, but permanently is just taking offence to something I didn’t say to offend. I am a mental health patient. I have anxiety disorder and depression, and have been medicated since the age of six, and am continuing to be medicated. Sorry if what I said was the worst thing ever, or something akin to that. I didn’t intend anything beyond being a twit, and it was out of self loathing.
