I once did a terrible thing right before my mentor app that had the same punishment: a week long job ban contingent on me not being terrible.
I got accepted.
I'll say yes, you are pretty knowledgeable and you're not irredeemably terrible; and personally, I think your punishment was a little too much for the crime anyways.
That said, a word of advice: don't try to pretend that rules lawyering is a condition bordering on making you feel discriminated against, and especially don't compare it to racism. I naturally rules lawyer, too, but if I can make the choice not to be a jerk, so can you.
