By reposting the article under these circumstances, you would be asserting that (1) you are confident there is no BLP-violating material in the version of the article you chose to post, and (2) you believe that there has been a significant change of circumstances (which should be reflected in the article content) since the prior, extensive AfD/DRV discussion such that the decision to delete reached at that time is no longer applicable. Unless (1) is clearly true, you should not post this or any similar deleted BLP article (see generally, [[RfAr/Badlydrawnjeff]]; [[RfAr/Footnoted quotes]]; [[WP:BLP]]). Unless (2) is clearly true, the appropriate forum to revisit this issue, if you truly believe it is necessary, would be DRV rather than article creation.
Although we have not adopted a "BLP opt-out policy," I do not understand why a user would consider it a significant priority to re-create an article containing predominently negative coverage about an, at best, highly-borderline-notable individual who has expressed extreme resentment regarding the existence of such article.

P.S. Incidentally, however, I'd like you to go back to the Hornbeck/Ownby deletion discussion and re-read my lengthy comments there. I gave some of your observations on BLP, but only some, more credit than you probably remember that I did.

I am reminded of a conversation I believe every doctor has now and again.
"Why do you keep poking at that?" "It hurts." "But it'll keep on hurting." "Yes, that's why I keep poking it."

I remember it a bit differently:
"When I press my finger right here, it hurts." "Does it hurt anywhere else?" "Yes, up here it also hurts, and over here, and down here." "Ah... your finger's broken."
