Okay, well that's a start but not quite sufficient. First of all, it strikes me as insincere because you don't seem to be remorseful for saying what you did. For example putting the word language in quotations makes you sound like you're being sarcastic. The spelling and grammar are not that great either, which if you were truly sincere I think you would be paying a lot better attention to.

I also don't think you really understand how serious your comments could have been had they been made toward someone with less of tolerance for those sorts of insults.

So I'll give you two options:

(1) We can accept that apology as is put it up to the other admins, but to be honest with you I don't think it's good enough.

(2) You can write a short essay on the effects of cyber-bullying about the effects and dangers. Cite at least one international news story where cyber-bullying had a determinant effect in someone's life (I think the case of Ryan Halligan would be a perfect example). Then take that essay into context and explain how what you wrote about me could have been construed as cyber-bullying, and had it escalated how you would feel if your abusive language caused someone to suffer. If you do this, and you have proper spelling, grammar, and you provide a bibliography and cite references where you pulled your ideas from and it's well written I'll personally remove the ban and reinstate your privileges.

^ The reason why I'm offering you item #2 is because you said you wanted to be a sincere contributor to the site. Well in order to do that you need to put a lot of time and dedication into research and finding facts and being able to communicate those facts clearly and carefully. You also need to be able to cite references that provide proof or evidence to the messages you're trying to convey. So the purpose of the essay assignment is to (a) show that you understand how serious what you said could have a negative impact on someone's life. (b) that you genuinely care enough about the situation that you realize there is serious repercussions to that sort of behaviour (c) to get you to working to research a subject and cite references.
