Apparently I think I was banned?

Let me first say, if I posted this in the wrong forum, please forgive me and forward it appropriately…
Also, I would like to start off by saying I know what I did and for the most part would warrant a “kick”, but I truly believe a “ban” was a little harsh; however, I was still in the wrong…
I am registered here under the name “Skippy”, but some of you may know me as (and during this incident) by the name of “HammerHead”. For most of you that do know me (i.e. Nightstalker, Fluffy, etc.) you will know that I am fair player and try to be a team player and support whatever side I am on, however, I do get miffed occasionally (just as the rest of us do) at noobs getting away with unjust gameplay; but know that this is not an excuse for my actions. During the hours of game play yesterday between 2:00pm – 4:00pm PST we were playing the map called Battle of 73 Easting on the red team. There was a player by the name of The Game (or something to that effect) and he was using the MIRS to continually shell the north base. I know that this is a difficult weapon to predict and he was actually doing more harm than good by TK’ing our team including me trying to cap the base. I did type to him asking him to kindly stop yet he continued without a response; I guess I figured he was one of those noobs oblivious (or not caring) about what he was doing. I did not see a recognizable admin on at the time, yet I didn’t ask for one either, and I should have, it’s just that in the past I have tried to tell an admin about disruptive game play, but most times the admin is pre occupied playing themselves and they do not always have the opportunity to deal with everything…again, not a excuse, just saying. In any case, I did warn the player I was going to TK him if he would not stop prior to me doing so, and immediately after that, with no warning, I was banned. As I mentioned, I have witnessed far worse on this server with multiple warnings before just being kicked…but banned for this, ouch! I guess what I am saying is that it was wrong to TK if judged on face value, but I did not do it maliciously or in the mindless sense we all are normally accustom to seeing. So I am throwing myself at the mercy of the court with the promise I will conduct myself differently and politely ask the ban to please be lifted.
In closing, I respect you guys and know how hard it is to deal with rouge players as I too ran a server in another life (or a long time ago) and would not wish to run another one as I got tired of the baby-sitting and now just enjoy the game for what it is. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Skippy AKA Hammerhead
