I'm 14, turning 15 on wednesday (two days from now). Yes, I rap in my spare time, and I'm going to high school. People diss others all the time. Heck, my friends and myself play around sometimes dissing each other also. So, no, I don't care/mind when someone disrespects me online, let alone in a game. But, I step my foot down, when it endangers the Zone environment. People act up a lot on Zone, and since I'm the only active staff member around to actually enforce the rules, then I have to be strict when it comes to people who disrespect others and act immaturely, and offend others, and use foul language directed at others. I DON'T LIKE HAVING TO BAN PEOPLE, but the fact of the matter is, I have to in order to set order. Most of the time I ban people because of speed hacking, but theres been times where I've had to handle people because of the way they were acting, and it was bothering the other players. I try to let a few comments slide by, but I gave you two warnings and you wouldn't stop. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, heck, I even addressed you that you've been given many warnings and you were on your second strike already, and you continued. So, I had to act. See, on Zone, I don't do things for myself, I do it for the players, and to protect the environment. When a force tries to unbalance the environment, then I have to act to try to re-balance it.
You say it as if this is some position of grandeur. This is Smokey the Bear we are talking about. The environment of the server is not endangered because someone is cursing.

On the internet, you must adjust yourself to annoying twits saying stupid things. You cannot just ban them from a game they’re paying for JUST because of that and expect yourself to be viewed on the correct side of this.

You haven’t shown these supposed logs -- besides, you don’t ban people for this. I know Blizzard doesn’t ban you simply for cursing once or twice; they don’t ban for cursing, unless you say something seriously wrong, and then you receive a soulshard or something or that sort. If you get three of those, you are temporarily banned.

Also to consider, Blizzard automatically bans for exploits.

Take a cue and ban under correct terms.
