as this post pointed out, I was an asshole, And I took trolling too far, genocide denial or harming the community was not my intention as I was trying to find reasons to troll hexbear through my two accounts, I do not represent Dbzer0 or AN in anyway possible, and that post doesn’t represent my views at all, it was just a shitty attempt at humour that went too far, you could consider this an apology, you have every right to hate me, but if you all have the space in your hearts to forgive me, it would be much appreciated. then again it were probably be best to just ban me as it’s not what I want, but it’s probably best for the community, I have learned from my mistake but i’d never be able to live with it, like anyone else Im not perfect

Fair enough. I think you're right that she's somewhat avoiding responsibility in the post body, but she's a young person who's clearly embarrassed about an online outburst, and the apology was made immediately without much time for self-reflection. Therefore I think it's forgivable.

She seems to have realized the outburst was a mistake, and seems to want to take a break and reflect, which is good. Also, the person who fed her the WW2 line commented in this thread and came off like a borderline cryptofascist, so I do put a lot of the responsibility for the worst of the comments onto him. I'd rather give some grace to the person who showed regret and didn't intentionally post Nazi stuff.

That's why I said I shouldn't have said anything. I've been given plenty of grace, and by the same token, I can give grace.

On a related note, I think it's really easy to lose sight of that online, but it makes better communities when we can all make space for people to change.

@Alaskaball@hexbear.net do you think that, in light of this post, OP's ban could be reversed or turned into a temporary ban to possibly allow her to engage in good faith with our community in the future? She could always be banned again if this behavior repeats.
