Welcome to WebmasterWorld Kensav!

So, you clicked on a few ads and got busted. As you now know, this is against Google's TOS and the reason for the ban in the first place. You are not likely to get your account reinstated.

I think your self-advice to move on and chalk it up to experience is probably the best advice anyone can offer.

Do bear in mind that in clicking on the ads you cost the original advertisers money. That's part of the reason why a few people here jumped on you ;-).

There are other contextual advertising engines coming to the market (and a few others already exist). I suggest you move on to one of those, read their TOS carefully this time, and a read through the forums here at WebmasterWorld will also point you in the right direction to increase the revenue you were getting with AdSense. Legitimately.
