"One does not simply move past that behavior in only a few days." - With respect to your message and no intent to belittle it, you subconsciously took that from the Mordor meme, didn't you? xD

Okay, in serious address to your comment, I have been taking the time to cool off, and since the incident occurred I haven't taken any action I regret, even when it comes to block evasion.

You don't have to accept my apology or return, Simply Beautiful Art, as I made clear in my announcement I acknowledged there would be some for whom this would not be enough; you are mirroring my own words in fact, especially in sentences such as "I'd still have a rather bad taste in my mouth towards you, regardless what you say". But again, what would it prove if I refrained from using the wiki for six months only to come back with people saying the same exact thing about how they can't forgive me, not to mention those who would be harboring resentment over six months? Nothing of course.

While I am committed to treating others with kindness and extending a helping hand when possible I do not agree with letting others hold me to my past longer than I'm willing to hold myself to it and making me feel like I can never be good enough. Now of course there should be consequences for actions, but I feel after apologizing and doing what I could to right the wrong, along with the general crummy feeling that overtakes me after doing something like that, I've put forth enough effort, which I intend to keep putting forth, to show I'm sorry. Letting the internet decide what punishment you deserve is a very bad idea if you want to preserve your self-esteem.

My purpose in deleting the original account is to show I knew my behavior was unacceptable and to inflict my own punishment on myself, and yes, it was also because I wanted my ban evasion to be more justifiable. There's no harm to me in admitting that, as I want to do good now.
