Server you were banned on (SMP/Discord): Both 

Minecraft username: wingedseraph

Reason for your ban (exactly what it says when you try to log in!): name calling, using discord to circumvent /ignore and harass a player after being warned by staff to stop

Who banned you: staff

Why should you be unbanned (Why should we give you a second chance?): okay i got a lot to say so i am going to break this up into 3 different sections to address all things against me.

1. name calling- 
jorah has not liked me for a long time, i do not know exactly why, but i have the screenshots from where it started. at first, he was mad at me for playing around with juan and dorito (he said that it was because they don't like each other) but they are both my friends so i don't know what their hatred for each other has to do with me. here is the screenshots
in this screenshot, you can see that i thought me and jorah were joking around and i realized that maybe he was not joking around and there were actually hard feelings, so i took the time to apologize and see if he was okay, and if there was bad blood. in return, i was called a twat and was told to leave him alone (which i did!). he ignored me and i did not really care. i did not think he actually hated me, i just thought he was irritable, because i have seen him say rude things to people on the server before and i just left it alone. a while later this screenshot was used against me: 
i was told to stop harassing him (which is wack because i work a job and do not have the time to be that invested). and the harassment in question was me seeing his name and saying a joke which i literally just put his name into the song that jewish people sing at hanukkah (love my jewish peeps, amazing song btw). it was 3:56 in the morning and i was high (not an excuse, but an explanation) and tbh i kinda forgot he had me ignored. afterwards i was warned and i took the warning in stride and stopped bothering him. then came this horrid screenshot: which, at the time, when looked at from an isolated event perspective, to everyone in the chat it did look like i was making it about me. NOT A GOOD LOOK. but by then he had said so many things to me that i kind of jumped the gun and assumed it was about me because by then i knew he did not like me and would say little things to me in chat to make me mad. so i had reasonable rights to assume it was about me because i didn't think he would say it to a person who had just joined like 30 mins ago vs. someone he actually DESPISES (alledgedly). a few minutes later came this screenshot: which after talking to mel, i did not see the perspective that maybe he was saying that to correct new people on the server and let them know it wasn't okay. but i think that is a little bit of a stretch because "10/10 would recommend" is a well known meme format and i said afterwards i was joking. and it is worth mentioning to know that other people corrected me too, so he did not even really have to say anything. it 100% was directed to me though, which angered me because the time i said something to him, i got a warning, and for someone who is always saying i harass him and stalk him, to openly say something to me was befuddling. so that queued the argument and we did name call, which we both are wrong for. i meant what i said. i admit that maybe i should have been the bigger person, but in this situation it was days of build up and anger towards each other and we both got it out. i do think there could have been better options, but he had already told people that i was some harasser and ruined what was left of the reputation i had so i figured fuck it we ball. (not a good idea) me and mel also had a conversation about the connotation and denotation of the word cunt, and it is worth mentioning that i said it because where i am from twat is the equivalent of cunt. (so i was trying to even the playing field basically)

2. using discord to circumvent /ignore -
in the one menorah screenshot, i will admit that that is what i did. but to my knowledge after i was warned i cannot remember a time that we had a conversation through discord that i started. i took the warning like a boss, cracked a joke and moved on. from my memory, every other event that has happened through the discord has been because of jorah saying things to me (or me interpreting him as saying it to me). so i do not think that this reason for ban even really applies to me.

3. harass player after being told to stop -
harass is a hefty word that i simply do not have the time to enact. hand to my heart i do not care about jorah or anything that will ever happen to him in the future. i would pull up screenshots, but i do not have access to the discord. he has said multiple times to multiple different people that i have been trying to use discord to bypass the ignore but to be frank, i have used the discord to talk since i first joined the discord. never once have i checked the discord with the thought "what is jorah saying?" because frankly, the world will still spin, and air is still pumping through my lungs. however he has been persistent with telling people that i am harassing him and that is simply not true. a lot of people will believe what he is saying, because i know a lot of people don't like me on the server (i don't like myself all that much either) and because they have known jorah for a much longer time, and he has spent hella money on the server. i understood this when i argued with him and i understood that things would not be in the favor of me and that some mods (no names doe) were already looking for a reason to ban me. i would not "harass" jorah if i thought that that would give you guys the reason. that is not in my character. i don't like lies being spread about me, genuinely. but he will continue to get away with it because i am not a likeable character for some. doesn't bother me though because it didn't concern me until now.

i am sorry for what i did do, that you guys considered wrong. i still have no bad blood for jorah. he is the bane of my existence but i don't mind him, and i am still willing to forgive him if he is willing to forgive me, too. before he /ignored me he was kinda funny. (don't tell him i said that tho)!!

Why do you want to come back: some people (few), i will miss and i did like playing with my friends. i liked jokin around with juan, and building my smurf village and it was a fun experience. and some staff are pretty cool too. overall it was nice to be able to play at the end of the day, and losing that progress lowkey sucks man. (plus the VIP nyx bought for me RIP!) even though not everyone is my friend i don't hate anyone and i never will. 

thanks for hearing me out big dawgs.
