literally everyone is owed respect. Untill it gets taking away.

Actually no, nobody "owes" anyone respect. Respect is supposed to be earned and anyone can have their own opinion on what someone does to earn their respect which potato has ultimately failed to provide in his time in the community by being a shitty person in my opinion. I think anyone who goes out of their way to target a queer person with homophobic slurs loses any amount of respect they could've garnered, even if they were a fucking Medal of Honor Awarded Nobel Peace Prize winning humanitarian their whole life up until that point. I am also in agreeance that the "apology" is hollow, I don't think potato sees his actions as wrong and I don't think anyone who doesn't see their actions as wrong when going for an unban appeal for the things he has done, should be allowed back into the place where they got banned from.
