First of all, thank you Pojo for posting the letter. Phil has a right to be 
heard (though I'm not sure who really wants to listen to him). Secondly, 
before I read the letter I assumed it would be about him apologizing for 
Falsified reports, which would be understandable, but no, Phil has to say 
stuff like "I figured I deserved the break I'd be getting." I mean come on, 
nobody should be as stuck-up as to say they should be let off easy. Maybe 4 
years was a little extreme, but he assumed his 2233 rating put him above the 
rules. He thought just because he admitted (noticed I didn't say reimbursed 
for) his mistake, they would let him off. Well, when he grows up, if you 
steal or cheat your employer, you'll be fired ASAP. Now I know were not 
dealing with money, but it's the same principal. You disobeyed the rules and 
were punished accordingly Phil Mondiello, so I suggest instead of trying to 
say you were treated unfairly (which you obviously weren't) try saying you're 
sorry, and even though it may not get your suspension lifted, you might gain 
back the respect of the Pokemon Community.
