You obviously did not read what I wrote and did not take the time to
formulate a rational response. It is unprofessional, disrespectful,
and makes it extremely difficult to take anything you say seriously.
You request an open forum to discuss your relationship and status with
the Kubuntu project -- yet continue to insult the membership you wish
to appeal.

You have indicated a need for some time away from Kubuntu in order to
get your life back in order. Once you feel like you are able and
willing to continue your relationship with the Kubuntu community, you
may request to re-establish that connection to the Kubuntu community
by reapplying for membership. Kubuntu membership status is reserved
for trusted contributors to the Kubuntu project and is a privilege; it
is not a requirement for contribution. Your lack of membership status
does not preclude you from pursuing personal involvement in any open
source project, including Kubuntu or KDE. As previously noted by
Jonathan, you may continue community activities and may reapply for
membership in the future.
