Read my post again. Here's I'll save you the trouble:

Even in your Sincere Apology, you position what you did in a way that would not deserve a perma-ban. What are you leaving out? In other posts, starting early on, you claim innocence, then amp up a bit to admit minor fault but not bannable, and now you finish with a characterization that is still well short of the mark.
If the BB's ever come to your defense, then maybe I'll start listening. But the BB's and Z/mods are certainly allowed some silence here, especially in cases of harassment. I have always asked for transparency of moderator actions, but we are not always entitled to know the details, for the sake of those involved.
Again, unless Z reverses this action, or the BB's support you, I am assuming you are shorting us of the real stuff and am NOT swayed. Take it up with Z, not with us.

Some key words: I
trust more in the actions of Zuperman, and
what they imply of you, than I do in your
words.
How do I know? Personal judgment. Something I exercise based on what is presented. And not presented. Back when Richyroo got perma-banned, there was a lot that Zup and the mods could not and did not share with the forum. I go by observation, measurement, and some faith that the same has occurred here. I go by the initial claims of innocence that slowly adjusted to admissions as penalties became apparent.
"What'd ya steal?" --"Nothing."
"Really, there's money missing from my wallet." --"Really? Ok I stole a quarter."
"I don't have coins in my wallet." --"Yeah yeah, I took a dollar. Big deal."
"I had some tens in there." --"Alright I took a ten because I needed to buy lunch. So sue me."
In my judgment, we're not done yet. You clearly disagree, and that's your right. My rights are to my own conclusions. And I don't buy for a minute what you are selling.
As Dave said, quit poking the poo, and give it some time. I, for one, will be less resistant after not hearing empty claims of innocence for a few days or weeks.
