That sounds just like, 'if you were someone

then you would be welcome to edit.' Same could be said of any banned
user. And yes, paranoia is part of who I am, as should be apparent by
now.
Use of open proxies isn't who you are, it's what you do. Big difference.
You are what you do....
I suggest you peruse [[Wikipedia: List of banned
users]]. "Banning is
different from blocking; a block is a technical measure to disable
editing by a specific account or IP address, and is a restriction
which may be temporary."
And your name is not on that page, hence you are not a banned user.
Please do not pretend to be so again.
I don't think being banned has much to do with what lists you appear on.
If no one is willing to unblock - which is okay now, for the record -
that would seem to qualify as a ban.
