Reasons for Appealing - Delete irrelevant sections
Are you appealing a validly placed permaban and would like another chance to be unbanned?: Yes
If yes, please explain why you believe it should be accepted: I would like to explain myself and provide justification for what happened/was said.
These are the offending logs that got me banned:

The ooc funeral.
The funeral was conceptually foreordained before the round started. Nevertheless, I would like to draw your attention to actions taken within the round to bring the funeral into the realm of the SS13 world, and thus, IC.
Spoiler:
And told the staff members involved (with the banning) to kill themselves
As already established, I saw central command as the entity that murdered Talon. There also happened to be central command interns drop-podding in around us. My words were expected to hit the entity, and those who had dropped podded in around us. (Which I didn’t view as an issue as I was friends with all of them and did not think they would take offence as it was a kind of joke.)
I precisely see and understand how my actions came off as attacking the banning admin but this was not my intention. In the making of this appeal, I put the logs under some level of scrutiny and realised that I should not have joined in with my own behaviour when the actions around me were so detestable. I simply added to a dogpile whether I intended for this to be the case or not and I apologise.
In addition to encouraging people to grief in his memory
Do not dispute this one just want to add context to the intention.
At the start of the funeral, I mentioned how he would always kill me as a joke,
Later on, it was meant to be a play on the words of " Grieve in his memory." This is impossible to prove so I won't bother but the majority of people did commit suicide very shortly after. This was due to a suicide pact that was announced

I apologise if anyone griefed because of what I said, wasn't my intention but I take full responsibility regardless as I see how easily it could have been misunderstood.
Is the reason/note factually accurate and fair?: Disagree with a few details but otherwise yes
If no, please provide more details:
Supporting logs: N/A
If unbanned I will not engage in this kind of behaviour again and sorry for any trouble/harm caused.
Edit: Some further evidence to show that I was not really around for/registering the targeted (by ckey) harassment.
For a lot of it, I think I am tabbed out as I am not moving (sitting in a seat) and not interacting with anyone/anything. This can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Am8tDZwwhpo
And for some other cases, I am not in the chapel to witness what is being said.

and some of the harassment came after/at the same time as I directed my words at Centcom (Which I understand is not good regardless, but there was no intent to hit the admin from me at least.)
