Baronjoe has come back with an appeal.
Very well.
So, I like to first start by acknowledging my actions. What I did was plagiarism. That's what it was then, and still is now. Simply no denying it. I have long since issued an apology to Stormbreath, and took their advice on thinking about the wrong I have done. I been so ashamed for I have written a few original articles that people have enjoyed. I could've been better than that. So much better.
I guess I did what I did because I was envious of someone about to make a lore heavy entry with two prominent characters in an iconic log on the site, and I acted irresponsibly. I forget that we are all a community with plenty of room for each interpretation to be shared among each other.
Furthermore, I want to shed light upon the thread I made which is linked in my disciplinary thread. Varaxous and dankaar make it seem I created the thread and then proceeded to add the plagiarized entry into the log despite the general response to the thread. That actually wasn't the case. The entry was posted on the log on January 6 while the thread was created on the 8th. By that time, I forgot I made the edit, as I tend to do with small log entries in collaborative pages from time to time. Also, at the time, I was busy with personal stuff which generally occupied my thoughts. I tend to forget the numbers to my own articles though that likely is not very unique to me.
In the interest of full disclosure and transparency, the reason I created that thread was because of a draft I critiqued on the forums one time. I remembered the draft that day of the thread's creation and went to see if it ever got posted. I was sad to discover it never was and the author dropped off the face of the earth. Below is the critique thread of the draft which sprung the idea for me to start that thread. Note, I am unable to see the thread's contents due to my ban so I may mistakenly link the wrong thread, by the way.

Yeah, I genuinely didn't create the thread with malicious intentions or in any relation to my act of plagiarism. It just saddened me greatly so many ideas never make it out to be appreciated by others. If you looked in the thread, when Stormbreath posted, I started to understand my proposition was perhaps not a good idea by saying that they made compelling arguments. I was pretty close to openly conceding with everyone if the conversation went on, but I think that is when the thread was locked, preventing any further posts. I don't exactly remember.
I then forgot about the thread for I often posted in the forums so I didn't bother to remember it. After a couple days, I think, I remembered the entry and did some minor grammar edits before completely forgetting it until January 22, when my ban was issued.
Overall, I admit that I am not proud of what occurred. I don't have much else to say other than sorry for I really did fail to uphold the values of the community which I enjoy. It was an insult to the integrity the site represents. I understand that clearly.
