After thoroughly looking through your history and past appeals, as well as speaking with some people about your behaviour during your stints of being unbanned, I am going to -1 this appeal.
While I do not doubt the sincerity of your words that you wish to follow the rules and disavow your history of toxicity, they are words that you have spoken before. Yet, here you are again. After discussing with people and hearing firsthand accounts what you were like during your last time being unbanned, they shared the feeling that nothing had really changed since your previous bans. You played good for a bit, but then would revert back to working your way towards another permanent ban in the worst way: harassment, slurs, insults, and general toxicity. This behaviour isn't exactly all ancient history either. You have shown recent bouts of being quite vicious with personal insults as recently as 3 months ago. Like you said in your own post, you likely thought that you were justified in those comments, but they were abhorrent nonetheless.
It has been a long time since your original ban, but I feel like the timer should reset each time your evade it. The evasions, alone, show a certain amount of selfishness in your actions. Putting everything aside purely because you missed playing. I also don't like how much the evading has been glossed over in this appeal. You didn't just evade a few times. It was prolific. Speaking on the post that chibill linked: The tone in that post seems to say "If an appeal isn't considered, I wont stop alting." No apologies or anything, just statements that you missed playing so you thought it was justified.
In summery, how many last chances should someone get? How many permanent bans should be lifted before it's finally decided that enough is enough? I sympathize with your want to come back, I really do. Unfortunately, I believe you coming back would not only be a risk to the community, but that you don't deserve to come back, period, because of your previous actions. Just wanting to come back isn't enough, for me.
