16 And I thought I said that in my first reply. When I say it seems, it
17 means that that is what it looks like. Since you likely have no more
18 info on this than I do, you don't know that either, right? Maybe this
19 will help:

29 Because of his posts, it would seem he was not. Otherwise, why would he
30 keep asking what it is he is appealing? It wouldn't make sense to
31 appeal his 15 day suspension that ended ages ago would it? Something
32 else was decided that is preventing him from returning and if he doesn't
33 know, then it would seem he was not told.

44 Which is why he should take this to the council. I'm not sure that
45 appeal is the right term for it but I guess it would be a start at
46 least. ;-)
