The title is a little bit odd, but I couldn't find anything more appropriate. So, I guess I'll cut straight to the point. It's been about three weeks since my ban from the FSE forum, give or take a few days. In that time I've been able to reflect on the way in which I acted and I must admit, that my ban was just and fair. The way in which I continuously insighted arguments was disgraceful for a leader of such an established regiment like that of the 91st. The manner in which I consistently targeted members of the community with abusive message and or trolling was also disgraceful and for that I apologise.
To Deo, Reflex, and Rejenorst (And any other moderator I'm forgetting) I made your job more difficult then it needed to be, one which you do free of charge and I commend you for that, because well without you the community forums would just be a medium for trolls to insight arguments and insult other players. I ignored countless warnings that you gave me on the FSE forums, and continued to troll and insight arguments, a foolish mistake. For that I again apologise.
Recent events within my own regiment have highlighted the errors in my ways and I now see how wrong I really was. If I had of looked at myself say five or six months ago, I never would of thought I would of been capable of such harassment and trolling. I don't know what nugget in my brain encouraged me to act in the manner that I did.
Moreover, the 84e who oh so ardently argued for my banning seem to not to be such angels themselves. After banning me from the 84e Siege Server, for no apparent reason pertaining to their server rules, they seem to believe they are immune vigilantes that can go about condemning or antagonising 91st members and their threads on the grounds that '91st are the bad guys'. Their actions are completely hypocritical if they think they stand for maturity in the community. One example is the flaming and spamming of our regimental thread, continuously despite warnings, in the belief that they'd probably not be punished. I refer to:

I really hope that the community takes a hard look at this regiment and consider enforcing similar constraints as have been on myself if they continue. They don't care for peace of the community, just to antagonise and provoke rival regiments, causing disharmony. That is one thing I will not apologise for, I'm not singling the 84e out as a whole, it's mainly just Aldeamar who advocated my ban and then an "embargo" on the 91st. Though the ban was to an extent justifiable, Aldeamar protested for it for seemingly personal reasons and then proceeded to commit the exact same offences that I did to get banned, slightly hypocritical if you ask me. I don't really want 84e coming on this thread and arguing against this as this threads intention is not to create an argument and or flame war.
To the community as a whole, to all those I trolled and or harassed, I offer you my deepest apology and regret. I'm sorry for the way I acted, I'm sorry for the way I mistreated people and I'm sorry for all the trolling. So I would ask you the community and the Moderators, for one final chance to prove myself. I humbly request an unban from the forum (FSE one that is) and acceptance of some sort into the community. I am sorry and I give the community my word, that if unbanned I will refrain from the activities in which I partook in.
In summary, I'm sorry for my actions and I wish to once again be part of the community. This thread is not meant to antagonise anyone and I would appreciate if people looking for arguments refrained from posting.
