You weren't the first person to do that.
My "fake ban message" wasn't even bolded for that exact reason (and it wasn't even mentioned in my ban message). I think Ephialtes was just avenging his pride after I cornered him in another thread at the same time.
Ephialtes banned me for one week for "Unnecessary bump". Clearly I was pissed, because I was joking (immaturely, yes) about something else in that thread regarding bumping by saying I did a 7-hour bump. I complained to Badspot who added
another week because I wasted his time.
