Are they robbing me on purpose!? |
No, you're just stupid.
A ticket is a summons to appear in court, some low level clerk can't dismiss your ticket, it takes a judge. An appeal is what you file if you're dissatisfied with the judge's ruling and you wish to pursue the matter at the next highest court.. There was a date to appear on your ticket, choosing to write some clerk a letter instead of appearing could have resulted in a bench warrant for your arrest and again a clerk can't dismiss your ticket.
Paying the fine is an admission of guilt, once you do that you're done.
