Whether we believe your story or not is irrelevant in regards to the case. If the evidence does not support the ban, then the ban will be lifted. However, as this is not the first protest posted, we need to wait until the edivence is provided (or until it is determined that evidence is unavailable). At which time a determination will be made.

I am not personally familiar with GAC, so I can't determine whether or not it was in fact running. This part I would have to leave to an admin who has experience with the software. As far as I'm aware, if no conclusive evidence is provided, the ban will be lifted whether the program was running or not.
