24. Here's what I would do.

I'd take a couple days to relax, and or, just laugh it off entirely.

The negative aspersions you are casting at the jurors, and members, when your post was absolutely hide-able (and therefore also purview of host review) says you are maybe a little too upset to discuss this here, without impinging on SOP rules.

I'd just take a break, really. You got a strong reaction from those posts. I'd reflect on why. Attacking the place you got banned from does not help your case. For the reasons I already explained, I'm surprised more of your posts in that thread weren't hidden. And that's not me trying to be a dick to you, just honest observation.

That thread did not go well. Whatever your core point was, it was lost. It's not a conspiracy, or anything like that. At the least, this is delicate subject matter that was treated indelicately. Things get broken, feelings get hurt, people start building grudges...

I'd take a step back from that path before going any further.
