It's not like making a new account erases your old one.  Think your old account as an "archive".  

Or, just spend a week or two away from reddit (the horror!).  Haters can't hate if there's nothing to hate.  

Looking through your post history, it seems the downvotes are still "appearing", but reddit's algorithms (or reddit's white knight army?) are counter-acting that.  Most of your comments are around +1 or +2 (other than your shitty advice animal).  Turn off RES and you won't even notice a difference!
