While it is my personal belief that if someone hits you then you have every right to hit back (eye for an eye and all), but obviously this belief is not shared by the admins and in the future I will conduct myself within the lines of the server and its rules. I appreciate your involvement in this and hope we can come to a speedy resolution. I do admit that sometimes I lose my temper (see the previous bans for teamkilling, though honestly the memories are quite fuzzy), I just want to stress how utterly infuriating it is to sit on my hands while nothing happens (not now, but then).
Also, that "admin" that was in earlier when the trouble started, was he even an admin? Or just someone faking tags?
