phunyguy: #ubuntu-offtopic isn't a support and discussion channel in one, like ##windows is for the Windows OS. #ubuntu-offtopic is just a discussion channel and I like it because it's a place me and others can go to for discussion about world events, football games, and other hot topics. I would appreciate the removal of my ban in #ubuntu-offtopic because of the large community backing the #ubuntu-offtopic channel and it's derivatives. I don't want to be left out of the ubuntu IRC ecosystem because of the respect I have for individuals in the ubuntu core channels. I do understand if the ban is lifted, it won't be lifted if I am excluded from the channel again, and this may also lead to the denial of my access to other ubuntu channels. I know ubuntu operators do keep an eye on me outside of ubuntu channels even though they may not speak up about my behavior, my actions do reflect badly on my reputation.
