After discussing this with other moderators, we are reducing your ban to "time served."
A couple of things, for you and for everyone:
First, other people's behavior is not, never has been, and never will be an excuse for your own. Directed invective like "you fucking asshole" is ban-on-sight behavior even if the other person did something to deserve it. This is pure heat. Use the "report" button instead.
Second, our moderators are generally pretty thick-skinned, and we usually avoid modding in a thread where we're participating. But sometimes users think that means it's open season on the mod team. This is not the case.
Finally, it seems to me that a combination of Internet-mediated communication and partially hidden information (specifically, some "user reports" on various comments, and some inter-user histories) combined here to create conversations that were effectively "garbled" by how they played out. This is one reason I personally try to avoid the "meta," if at all possible.
Anyway, I'd like to end the litigation of this here, and hope everyone is willing to cooperate with me on that.

These are definitely questions for @ZorbaTHut. However the "themes are not supported" message is probably there on the settings page for reasons like this one. I have no idea re: Patreon.
It's always interesting to me what people nominate (and what they don't). But I do think almost all nominated comments plausibly fall under one of the old "Slashdot Metamoderation" categories (Insightful/Interesting/Informative/Funny). My bet is that the people who nominated your comment found it informative.
