Frankly, you made the choice to plagiarise a whole bunch of content, so the onus is on you, having done such an act. If you're able to move on and learn from the situation, and be a worthwhile contributor, then the post shouldn't be embarrassing at all.

As for closing it, no, people would still be able to see it. But honestly, people don't actively go looking for these things, so I'm not sure you need to worry about embarrassment to begin with. I understand your heart was probably in the right place, it was just blatant plagiarism on several hundred pages, which is severe.
