Your first mistake here is assumptions, because I legitimately had no idea what I had done. But I knew that it had to be something minor because i'd know when I was actually trying to hurt someone. So no I did not know what I had done to get me banned, you can believe what you want though.

Actually my first ban appeal was extremely timid, I didn't put much effort into it because I knew you'd just curse me out which you ended up doing. Here's the ban appeal, you can see the difference in emotions between you and I.

Afterwards, after you had cursed me out for the 3rd or 4th time I decided to illustrate to you what actual toxicity would be like via discord. I'm sure you saw the difference between that, and being called a 'bitch' during duels. Of course I shouldn't have done that but when i'm being cursed out by one of the lead staff, what's really the point in trying to be nice?

Actually it totally should matter who's being harassed and who's reporting. Fire and I were dueling and talking shit to each other like usual. The guy who reported me was targeting me specifically the entire time, and in my opinion it was taken out of context. Unfortunately it seems nobody who's staff on this game actually understands what it's like to be dueling in high stress situations, and I believe the screenshots were taken out of context. I didn't just follow Fire around and call him names, he asked me to duel and we were BOTH talking shit to each other. If Fire had a problem with that and HE reported me himself then sure I could understand it, but he didn't report me because he didn't care. The guy who was harassing me and interrupting my dueling session to purposely set me off was the one who reported me. So I feel the screenshots were taken out of context given the situation me and Fire were in.

You have proven, time and time again, that you think nothing of slurring and insulting community members in the most annoying and disruptive way possible, including staff when you feel safe (like on the win discord).
I still don't understand how that warrants a ban even if i'm ZT. It was banter between him and I and nothing more, would you ban me for calling one of my friends a bitch as well even though it's a joke? There's context to every situation, it's not just black and white. This is literally casual duel talk that every other dueler does as well, believe it or not it's a normal part of the game, go hop in a bet server and you would have a reason to ban half the people in it.

Super Moderators (or most staff for that matter, despite what you think) can't actually read your PMs, so unless you report it, we can't do anything. Ironically since you seem to be so adamant to claim that fire wasn't actually offended on the behalf that he didn't report you, I can just as well claim that you weren't actually offended by that PM and are just trying to throw other people under the bus.
I did report Cicada3301 and he got a very short ban. I only used that screenshot to illustrate what I personally go through when playing this game, and how I will get banned when i'm reacting and responding to people like that. Of course i'm not going to be interacting with these people ever again.

I never once compared my situation to Diamond's, our situation is different. I only meant i'd have to take his approach to handling a ban because I get shut down and cursed at if I talk to you one on one. Now hopefully you see my side of things and will understand why I was upset afterwards.
In summary I feel the chat was taken out of context, and if anything I was being targeted and harassed myself.
