I understand that my opinion is going to be unpopular, and incur not least a few slurs or angry ramblings, but I believe that Dan Alfredo served wonderfully as a roleplayer in this server.
EVEN IF, he's a cop main, which I assume is why people are continuing to shit on his appeal as though he actually did something grave and unforgiveable, there's no reason for this to affect your view on him as a person. He was excellent in what he did, and where he was banned over, was nothing, and will never amount to even a drop of water compared to the literal boiling oceans of diverge playercount. I say boiling, because gmod itself is shrinking, and we don't need to shrink it any further.
I believe forgiveness can be afforded to him, as he himself reached out to me and wanted me to actually give his Mr. X suits (I owe him when they come out) to Daniel K. Park, which tells me he had incredible loyalty to this server in spite of what happened to him. This server is absolutely worth appealing for, and this man is absolutely worth letting back in to do as he's always done.
