IRC dramarama! (or, help clear my name) (or, Starchat are hopeless mongs) - by Paz

Well, this is a slightly ego-centric thing to post but I need to rouse the IRC JUSTICE KRU - and this is the perfect place to do so, really.
I shall begin at the beginning!
My late afternoon IRC excursion was greeted by the following message:
*** K-lined for 2 weeks [#1741: kline evading again]
-
Closing Link: Paz[hello-my-ip-goes-here.dsl.pipex.com] (K-lined)
That was quite a surprise! So I filled in some crap on the Starchat website and fagged up a thread in here until Ulu was kind enough to supply me with an email address. It was to this address that I sent an explanation of my confusion and innocence as well as the kind offer to supply any 'proof' (haha, what is this, Columbo?) that may have been necessary.
I have since received this helpful reply!
"Not mistaken identity - you have another nick, riverrun, and you are banned from starchat.
Kind regards,
StarChat Kline Team - www.starchat.net"
Yes, thanks. Except I've no idea who the fuck 'riverrun' is. They have a shitty name though, so congrats to them for that. Maybe I sleep-IRCed and shared a bunch of child porn without my knowledge, or something.
I'm pretty sure Pipex use shared IP addresses to some extent, SO IT'S NOT HARD TO SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE.
So, yes, I'm faced with the terrifying prospect of doing something useful with my life here - and frankly that's just too scary for words. What's my next step? The chumps at Starchat obviously have an OPEN AND SHUT CASE on me. Therefore I open the floor to you, internet chums!
CAN YOU CLEAR MY NAME AND SAVE THE PRESIDENT?

If only sailoreagle were here. She could set things straight with her winning personality and friendly connections to the Starchat admins!

INTERNET FRIENDS GET RESULTS
Thanks all! This thread is now about your favourite lines from Blackadder:
"Someone's for the chop. You or me, to be precise. Let's face facts Perce ... it's you."

I've got a plan, and it's as hot as my pants!
Blackadder! Blackadder! He heard the new world call. / Blackadder! Blackadder! Discovered bugger all!
