Hi Hunterr
Im sorry to say your request was denied. I knew it would be. But I was growing weary in trying to get you to make a request and take some responsibility. I wanted you to be reinstated but even I couldnt defend your last request. I palmed my face when that was all you had to give me to relay to the owner and staff - I tried to give my best advice but you wouldnt listen. The staff felt your request was kind of lame and mocking in the fact you take no resposibility for your part at all.
"since it was for a pretty non-issue, considering what other people have said"
The owner who you were suppose to be appealing to didnt think it was pretty or a none issue. So why would you write such an appeal to him like that? needless to say, It didn't sit well .. maybe you didnt understand the person you offended was one of the people you were appealing to for reinstatment.
No one was asking you to kiss ass, but at least be respectful to his feelings. Its doesn't matter what others feel about it. You didnt offend others .. and whether you think it was a just a harmless joke on your part it did offend him at the time. Now if you would have just been somewhat apologetic or excepted resposibility by saying you meant no harm or that had you know it was offending anyone you wouldnt have done it .. then every one could have saved face and shook hands. I hope you understand and dont take offense to what In trying to explain to you. All I can suggest is appeal again in 30 days with what I stated above in mind. I dont know what else to do.
Please take care
