I actually don't hold any resentment toward Libertas any longer, he was doing is job and acted within his authority given to him by DPR. The fact that I no longer hold any resentment toward him doesn't mean I'd have a beer with him or anything; but I fucked up. I pounded out a final personal appeal to DPR a few hours ago in hope I can have my old account back, but I'm not holding my breath. I offered alternative punishments including keeping my $500 vendor bond on my new account as a fine, a two week suspension and some other alternative discipline. But if he withholds his decision I will no longer contest it and will be lowering prices on some harder to move stock on my new account as a going out of business sale and retiring.I've barely turned a profit vending due to constantly giving out free shit and whatnot + the epic bitcoin crash and make most of my money on other forums and offering my services elsewhere. It's been fun but being a new vendor sucks. It's just shitty to go out like this after putting in so much effort for essentially nothing. I started vending off $150 and some borrowed shipping supplies and random shit I had accumulated and turned it into a small business. I'd rather sell off my stock and retire and keep my principles than be a part of an enterprise that doesn't appreciate the effort I put into vending. This isn't even mentioning my buyer account, which I could have bought a fleet of used cars with my total amount spent. I like to consider myself an asset to Silk Road, if not a bit fucked in the head on occasion.Wow.. that really sucks Bruce :-\FWIW, I think what happened to you was utter bullshit. I think common sense dictates that you didn't really do anything wrong other then a harmless, victimless joke! Jesus. I know I'm not alone in that sentiment.For a well liked, honorable, upstanding members of the SR community (not to mention someone whos provided great financial gain to SR as a business both as a vendor and buyer) to go out this way fucking sucks.Hope DPR rethinks his decision in the name of common sense and looking at the 'bigger picture'.Good luck brother..
