Ban reason: I had a question relating to the LGBT Commnunity that had gotten out of hand
Ban Issue:
The ban is fair, but I would like a second chance or reduction
Events leading to the ban
I was curious about something related to LGBT stuff. I cant remember exactly what it was since this had happened over 6 months ago but they took it as if i were trying to attack their beliefs, which originally it was a genuine question. From that i tried to have a casual conversation but it did start to get heated which wasnt my intentions, I realize now I should have tried to be more sensitive about people’s beliefs. I ended up saying something i shouldn’t have and a admin asked us to drop the conversation which i did but by then the chat was in an uproar and the damage was done and was banned without nothing said to me but that was fair enough.
Reason the ban should be removed
I’m reaching out to appeal the ban I received about six months ago. I understand the importance of maintaining a respectful and safe environment, and I realize now that my actions during the conversation did not align with that.
At the time, I was simply curious about something related to the LGBT community. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the exact question I asked, but it was a genuine inquiry. However, it seems my question was taken in a way that made others feel like I was attacking their beliefs, which was never my intention. When the conversation started to heat up, I tried to continue it casually, but I now understand that I should have been more sensitive to people’s beliefs and feelings.
I ended up saying something I shouldn’t have, and an admin asked us to drop the topic, which I did. But by that point, the situation had already escalated, and the chat was in an uproar. As a result, I was banned. I fully understand why that happened, but I would like to express that I never intended to cause harm.
I’ve had time to reflect on the situation, and I’m committed to being more careful and respectful in the future. I would appreciate it if you could consider lifting the ban and allowing me another chance to contribute in a positive way.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
