    Would you like to reach out x?"
I like this variation on kleinbl00's excellent idea and here's why:

It might be that mutees have no idea why a poster does not want them to participate in a discussion. As cgod said here they should get over themselves and move on, but if they feel misunderstood and really really care, then the mutee should be self-fucking-reflective and go back through his previous conversations with the muter and try and figure out where things went wrong.

If a person cares about being muted, then do the work, trace it back, and create an apology that is meaningful.

Do the work.
