also starting off with an apology thread isn't too good either
best case scenario if you actually changed would be to go under a different alias
opposite is true if you ask me, an alias is only an alias. there's no difference between a drama of "bob" and a drama with "bob/james/bob2001/jimmy", aside from behavior. besides, how many returning, incognito problem-users remain anonymous?
starting off with an apology thread is fine as long as you actually do change, and that has yet to be seen.
