So now you know the (mostly) complete story of the Flamey Snake. I hope you can use this information for good, and not simply for my unblocking, but to improve the conditions for editors on Wikipedia as a whole.
While I read your first post I could sympathize to some degree, but I, like many others here, was not interested in reading a long-winded life history that was so prolix that it had to be spread out over four messages.
Some have suggested that this list is used for last chance appeals. Maybe so, but that is completely unofficial. For that to work you need to get the point. With excess verbiage you risk losing those who would be more inclined to give you support.
In the outside world appeals courts do not go through all the minutiae of evidence, but are more inclined to look at whether in broad terms the rules have been unjustly applied.

Yes, I was somewhat sympathetic or inclined towards being sympathetic with the first post, but I can't read all the rest--it wandered all over the place. I tried, but I wound up losing the thread of even the first post.
