Also, as a banned user, I must ask you to not imply that banned/blocked users 'deserve' to be banned/blocked.
You are not a banned user - you are a user who chooses not to use access methods other than ones that are blocked with strong reasons. That TOR is blocked is unfortunate and a pain in the arse, but that doesn't make you a banned user, because you simply aren't.

Technically, only users who do not have ipblock-exempt are blocked from editing via Tor.
I asked to be given ipblock-exempt... the community said no... I am still not seeing how that is not a ban.

Because we are not prepared to break the rules for you, because we believe in playing fair. It is not a ban because you are able to edit the minute you drop the open proxies. If you look at our other "banned" users, none of them has such an easy (well, I don't know that) way back to editing. Ergo, you are not banned.
Now, for the love of God, please stop going about this. It's fricking tiresome. We're just going round in circles here, and we're not going to get out of the circles, seeing as you're blatantly in denial.
