No... That's what you have come to believe. Infact when you were banned you had not really done that. You started to try and find faults with everything and disagree with anyone who has even the slightest hint of authority after you were banned.
Let me remind you...

You getting sanctioned for giving people abuse in game. Infact, hilariously, you decided to tell the world that you had uninstalled freelancer following this particular sanction.

Second ban. Gosh the process for this was different back then. But here you are giving people more oorp abuse, re-engaging and attacking under level players. On this occasion you did not even protest your innocence, prefering to appear proud of your guilt. Then you ghave some hassle to the admin team and insulted them for being just a day or so late with unbanning you. Infact the phrasing was "you guys are full of shit". Cannon and Xoria unbanned you anyway, despite you breaking the rules on the forum while asking to be unbanned.

Here we go... People started to get tired of you constantly breaking the rules... re-engaging again, despite having been sanctioned for it before. While knowing it is against the rules. You had already proven yourself to be a troublesome case with ideas which were, in your mind, better than the rules everyone else had to play by.

Here is when you got a temp-ban on your forum accounts. I think you'd pretty much earned this by being abusive to rather a lot of people. Both inside and outside the admin team.
Y'know... You could have just waited, then asked.. Even a life sentence has parole, as Alley said, there are a good few people who have had their bans lifted after a time away. These are not people who were popular with the admin team, but hey, you were never known for patience.

Nah, that was just Virus, who made two ships for Ench and Connor, both of whom served bans for it (if I remember rightly). Virus had his admin status revoked for a fairly considerable period of time, as well as getting a server ban. Infact, I'd wager that it was a fairly large part of why Rob eventually resigned. That and having to deal with people like you who flail around hopelessly in an effort at finding things to hit. Why? Nobody knows... But hit you must and flail you shall. He recieved the same level of patience and forgiveness you received with your first few rule violations. Just he didn't repeat them.
But you only mention this to draw attention away from your own behaviour which was occuring at about the same time. You earned yourself your ban. It wasn't because you challenged anything or rocked the boat. You're not some sort of freedom fighter and you never have been. You just flat-out broke the rules repeatedly to piss people off and were banned for it after showing you had no intention of following the rules in future, as well as trying to sidestep the consequences for your actions.
