That part after the "warning" is porbably the smartest and most candid thing you've written in the past 48 hours.

If you want so desperately to "prove that you're willing to do the right thing", then why don't simply wait out the six months? Here is another idea: go to the admins and ask them to shorten the ban. And whatever time they give you, stick with it.

After all, once we put all the emotions and other issues aside, isn't this the brave and right thing to do?

Look... You've proven your technical superiority. You've proven that no-one, including the admins here, can technically stop your evasions. Every single person here will know that if you stop showing up for six months, it is only because you willfully accepted the admins' judgement.

So why not? Sure, it will be difficult, but doing the right thing is seldom easy.

As for what it would take for us to be friends: I'm not going to give you a set of instructions (if anybody ever does that to you, he is trying to exploit you and not become your friend). You should find your own path, and not try to force yourself into doing what others expect of you.

I will say one thing, though: I'm quite certain that one day you'll become a hoopy frood kind of guy (check the hitchiker's guide to the galaxy for what these words mean. It's a good thing!). And when that day comes, I'll be honored to be your true friend.

(and I don't make friends easily)
