On several occasions I attempted to contact the powers that be of this site and received a poor response.

I would like to ask how it is fair for an algorithm to decide to ban me with little understanding of what I am going through?

Unfortunately there is no way for any algorithm to account for serious illness or any other real-life circumstance.

We've tried to help you with getting the Stack Overflow question ban lifted, and I'm sorry if we didn't come off as helpful as we'd tried to be. However, it does look like you're not longer blocked from asking questions on Stack Overflow, so something must've worked out right. :)

I hope you find Stack Overflow helpful for as long as you use it.

Regarding your ban here on meta... I personally think a year was way overkill, but I wasn't aware of it at the time. That was before my time as a moderator/employee here. For what it's worth, the meta suspension wasn't automatic but at least it's done now. You're free and welcome to ask questions about Stack Overflow (but not Tomcat :)) here.
