This is factually incorrect.

You did not 'invite me back'.

I spoke *privately* with Tom Kerrigan who informed me that there was no ban.

Actually, I was able to demonstrate to him that there actually was a de facto
ICD ban in place because my name, or any combination of bits of it, and unknown
to the moderators who were not imposing any ban, was unable to get past the
registration robot.

Tom Kerrigan put a temporary fix on this robot-ban, by-passing the system and
sending a manual password, but as far as I know the robot-ban is still in place.

So, actually, there is a power above the moderators that they don't know about.
