Again, you're trying to associate the single example to an entire rule. It's not that specific. I'm sure badspot could add "the game is not fun" to the auto-ban list if he wanted. It's like saying "don't care, don't post" rule only applies to the phrase "i dont care". It's a stupid 2bit view of the rules that any amount of common sense would override.
I know that those three examples are only examples and do not make up the entire rule, but I am still not seeing any plea for sympathy. The things you quoted earlier may have caused you and others to be sympathetic, but in no way does that mean he was asking for it. I hadn't felt sympathetic at all when I first read through it. All I see is a well worded OP which persuades the reader to agree with him and I do agree with him on some points.
You are taking the absolute worst possible approach. You are picking at his words to make him out as someone asking for attention or sympathy.
Not one person mentioned ANYTHING about him pleading for sympathy or even anything that was remotely negative UNTIL he was banned. Some people couldn't understand why he was banned because they honestly couldn't find it. Even I had read it (before the ban) and thought nothing of it. After the ban I had to read through a few pages just to find out why he was banned.
I know this guy has been banned several times and has had several keys revoked, but I seriously think this ban was uncalled for. Even I won't miss him. I just don't think the ban was completely fair.
