a personal unban appeal from jimmy wales

Hello KR
Last April I was banned for constantly reconnecting out of punishment. When I had come onto the server that fateful april fools day I was minding my own business when I walked in on some KR member (Raven) dueling someone in the dueling room in the large korriban map. Upon entering the dueling room I was immediately spammed with "leave the punished alone or join them" admin binds. I was confused as those binds were only used for people who were on top of sleepers, and I was nowhere near the vicinity of the spamming KR member so I continued to train in the room not knowing that the binds were directed at me. I was then slept, which I protested but the admin didn't care.
This whole situation was weird because not only was I slept for being in the same room as an admin (a publicly available to use room) but I was also slept for being near an admin who was dueling someone in order to teach them how to "not lame" or something. First, what am I possibly doing to get in the way of you in a duel, second, why can't you use one of the many out-of-map areas to "teach" someone, you know, one of those areas that you teleported me to so I could sleep out my punishment? Lastly, the player who was being punished wasn't even sleeping! I've been coming to this server for years and I've never been yelled at for being in the same room as someone who wasn't even sleeping.
Anyway after pointing out the obvious admin abuse the Raven got mad and wouldn't let me up, so I went to grab fraps (figured it would've been helpful in this situation) but my minimizer broke my game. I relaunched+reconnected. I informed Raven that I reconnected, /slept myself and made no effort to rejoin the server activities. Despite this, Raven still treated me like a brazillianaire lamer who was reconnecting out of punishment and I was kicked out of the server over and over again. I reconnected many times until I was banned for reconnecting out of punishment.
I will apologize for my behavior after I was slept - reconnecting out of punishment is against the rules no matter what, even if my initial punishment was clear admin abuse. I'm sorry that other KR members had to deal with that, I should've just logged for the day. It won't happen again.
If I have any suggestions for the server moderators I think I and many others would appreciate it if you asked us to politely do something instead of just spamming your binds over and over.. this whole situation could've been avoided if the KR member had told me "Hey poopchest, I need some space to teach this new player about laming, could you leave for a sec?"
Thanks for any and all responses.
