So far you've admitted making personal attacks, uncivil remarks, and
using sock puppets. All those activities are taken pretty seriously at
Wikipedia, and at the very least, we would expect a sincere apology
and a genuine undertaking not to do it again. Demonstration that you
understand why these things are bad, perhaps by having read the
relevant policies, would be a good thing too.

"Yes, I did that bad thing, but I was justified" is not helping your cause.
