Your apology is "Sorry for what I did, but it wasn't my fault." Also saying you don't regret the actions that got you banned in the first place is a big red flag for me.

While I (heavily) dislike the individual in question, I don't think they should be removed from the forums. Excommunication in general's just a very shitty thing and nothing should really happen to them unless they're continuously an issue on this medium. They've been pretty much just gone for a long time.
