I'm not asking for your respect. I'm asking for you to respect the mod team members, several of whom were insulted by you, and I'm asking you to respect what the admins tell you to do or not do. Not continuing an argument the admins ask you to stop is a rule on this wiki. Breaking such a rule is ban-warranting, as it is still a rule. There's also such thing as a cooldown ban. These are short-ish bans delivered to give the user time to consider what to change so that it doesn't happen again.

As for reputation. What others say about you has nowhere near as harmful an effect as what you do yourself. Your persistence against complaining about a demotion that honestly doesn't matter and the shortest ban I've ever delivered (that wasn't a joke with the other admins) has led moderators who thought you were pretty reasonable a week ago to consider you whiny and annoying. I have no want for your respect in the eyes of others to decline. You are a good writer and a good editor. However, I want you to stop fighting and respect authority. You're only demoted because your insults pissed a mod off so much that he demanded something be done about it, and I have done as such for him.

In short, you argue too much. In a week, your ban will expire, and nobody will have noticed either your demotion or your ban. If it's your reputation you want intact, then just wait a week. People have only noticed because you argued and I had to report it to the mods. So please consider obeying the staff once the ban is up, and then you might even get promoted again. Maybe you'll be promoted further.
