This is the basis for all your problems. There were numerous warnings in
-offtopic that it should stop, including 2 kicks (other people) and a
warning that the next one will be banned.

I'm sorry that it took longer than 10 minutes to respond, but a little
patience never hurt anyone.

So you continue to be offtopic after being warned and being banned from
another channel.

And being stubborn about it. I explained several times why I banned you.

...because I'm leaving for holiday today and won't be back until then.
