After five angry emails and a thread of complaint/protest against the mod who banned me, I finally recieved a reply:
Gunrush,
We have reconsidered our action locking your account on our forums. Obviously, one of our moderators disagreed with your actions. We discussed the events you described, and he now understands the pressures and problems this has caused you.
We sincerely hope your roommate is doing well. Your account is unlocked, and you are welcome to post on AnandTech Forums.

I have to say, I was wrong for thinking that the mods are nothing but unfair and inconsiderate. It took some guts and morals to admit a wrongdoing and recify it, especially when you're in a position where you cant afford to commit such wrongdoings. Thanks to the mods who were on my side, and :disgust: to the mod who banned me. As for the topic in question itself, I still think I did the right thing by not intervening, and those who would call me a coward simply dont have the full picture. That is my fault; for leaving out so many details and reasons that calls for laissez-faire in that situation, I set myself up for it. But since that would take pages, I should not have even made the original thread. So I apologize to the two people I bitterly and abusively criticized for calling me a coward (including the mod). Anyway, thanks to not only the mods who put some sense into the mod who banned me, but to some of you members who protested and got their attention in the first place. Cheers.

We gave you a second chance, and this thread is all you have to say for yourself?
Your 15 minutes are up on general principles. Good bye.
