I have only complained to you privately when you have publicly lied
about the reasons that you were banned.

In any event, I'll gladly agree that you remain banned on my say-so,
as opposed to your own say-so.  But the ban remains in place because
of your refusal to agree to some basic standards of behavior, and your
refusal to apologize for your past dishonest actions.

If you're willing now to do those things, and to genuinely reform your
behavior, then we can talk.

Well, if you don't want people to call you Adam, Adam, then you should
reconfigure your software to reflect your name-of-choice.  Right now,
emails from you appear to come from "Adam von [name omitted for privacy reasons]".
