banned for a small joke (was it perm?)

I am MadeInAsia

Came onto the server to check out the build, then Mocha said "Are you friends with MIC?"

Me "Who's MIC?"

Mocha "MadeInChina"
"Cuz you is from China. . . LOL"

Then he apologised and then said it only was because there was a MadeInChina. I didn't accept it and told him for 2 reasons. 1) That's unlikely and 2) Trying to apologise and give excuses all in one sentence, is a bit like admitting your mistakes but then saying it isn't your fault because of x. Having your cake and eating it, per se.

This is when I decided to put him in the naughty pit as punishment. I usually do this to give delinquents a 2nd chance, but still let them learn that what they did was wrong. TP wasn't working and he was joking about it (still is, btw. From his own post "badly made box of lava"). The mocha joke was the last straw and I banned him.

If he apologises for insulting a race, whether it was intentional or not, he can have a second chance. If you're not willing, don't expect sympathy from me.

In turn, I'll start off by apologising for calling you an asshole. That was wrong of me.
