Rob, I have courtesy blanked some stuff, but you also contributed to the problem by registering a sockpuppet and using it for purposes other than asking for the restrictions to be lifted, with the result the ban was reset.
I'm not without sympathy, but I don't see that you've made a strong case for the changes you want either.
