Unfortunately, regardless of what this guy was doing, you still broke the rules.
I highly dislike players who annoy others into retaliating and then posting ban requests, but the fact of the matter is, the players who retaliated shouldn't have, and they have broken the rules. I believe I gave you a lighter ban having believed that there was something going on before hand that made you two snap.
I am willing to unban the two of you if I get at least a basic promise that if you are being griefed or similar, by any member of the community, you do not retaliate by breaking the rules. Instead, you contact someone on irc, most of us camp on there regardless of what we are doing so just come along and shout.
That way, you don't get in trouble and go through this process and instead continue to play happily, having dealt with said griefers.
I'll await you to reply saying that you understand, i'll take one of you saying it as both of you, I'm sure you can pass along the message. Then I shall unban you, but if I or anyone else catches you breaking the rules again, I will make sure that the ban time is increased.
Tenne.
