Why do you still feel the need to dictate my ban after all these years?
We got off on a wrong foot. Words were said, we were both assholes shit happens. Internet arguments shouldn't last this long.
I wanted nothing but to make /r/politics a better place for political discussion and I got nothing but scorn and harassment for it.
Transparency is not only necessary and useful in the case of bad actors, and seeking transparency is not an indictment.
But willfully avoiding and preventing it is.
Calling everyone who asks questions a tinfoil hatter or a nutter is not a way to build a diverse community of political thought.
But we're past that.
/u/PoliticBot has finally fallen silent and that was the last sticking point the last time you considered maybe letting me have a voice?
You've got what you always wanted.
So I concede, my task **was** impossible and you and Pao have won, I have lost. Pao is on your side and unlike political authority; authority in a website is a tangible, provable concept.
Will you please at least grant be an unbanning now as I retire from reddit?
That was probably one of my favorite "may I be unbanned" experiences in recent memory. I'm not sure if you were serious or LOLing yourself even.
There's nothing here!
