I will always hold this grudge. I tried to walk away several times and forget about it, and I locked out the password to my WR account in December. Then I had a bad day IRL and decided to come back here.
Welcome back! (IMG:

And aren't you glad we have a password recovery feature...?
Sort of. I may regret coming back here, but so far it's okay.
I had the same issue on Wikipedia in July 2007 (this was a year BEFORE the "retirement" in July 2008). I decided I needed to leave for a while, so I changed my password to gibberish and copied the gibberish into a text file. When I tried to restore the gibberish in the password space when I next tried to login, it did not work. But have no fear! I could and did recover my password via email. I could have used that as an excuse to just start over under a new name, or leave altogether. I can imagine there are others who have done similar things.
Getting a new account on Wikipedia is easy. I've done it at least 20 times. Getting a new account on WR is difficult. I don't use a "real world" email address currently, and besides, I've done nothing to prevent me from moving up the social ladder here, and even have access to the thoroughly uninteresting 300 forum, so that's cool. Anyway, thanks for welcoming me back.
