Vorticity pretty much said everything I was going to say, so I'll just say this:
We were annoyed and outraged at what happened to TV Tropes ourselves, and to paraphrase Samuel Johnson:
"It is within every man's power to accomplish the feat of doing nothing."
Well, we decided that what was happening at TVT required more than that, and we hope you will appreciate the results.
@morganni: You have no idea how truly sorry I am you got caught in the crossfire. I'll take my imposed exile and go quietly (despite the fact the reasons for my disgrace were greatly distorted and in some parts outright lies), but you did nothing more than meet us here and share some mutual misgivings and offer your friendship during this time, and I'm sorry parties beyond our control decided you were as guilty as they considered us.
That said, I wouldn't bother trying to appeal this. All three of us has been cast out, preferably with our tails between our legs, and I can take a hint, so I advise you not even bother trying to appeal this. TV Tropes wants a community of absolute loyalists and will tolerate not the slightest amount of even the most benign civil discontent, so IMO, trying to appeal this is a lost cause.
Besides, I sent an email myself, also politely worded, but if you read here, they've already set their decisions in stone:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwik...j9224ynzg30&page=541
On a final note, I have some more to say, but I'll send that to you in a private message.
Regardless, I am truly sorry you were caught in the crossfire.
