I want to start by saying this was not spurred on by the mods or admins. This is my own move I joined EC some time ago and although I am not quite as established as some of the big names here I feel that everyone gets treated quite well whether you are LGBT, ally, straight...old, young, new or experienced. I have come to quite enjoy EC and all its ways or work. With that, I'd like to make a simple, genuine and long-coming apology. I will keep it short and sweet I am coming on 35 years of life and have had some troubles over the past decade. I make no excuses for any negative behavior I have brought upon myself. In some cases both here and in my own life I have made mistakes. One of them is acting and living in a self-centered, selfish, and egotistical manner. I know from the past I have brought these nasty albeit temporary qualities here to EC. I want to apologize if I have ever come off as needing the spotlight or acting in a manner that I know all. I don't expect any responses and that is fine. I hope you can forgive me my trespasses. Good news is I am in a GREAT period of my life and this working backwards and atoning for my actions is part of my progress I thank you all for your kindness and caring from the top and the owners, all the way down to the member who only has one post thank you for your time
You're ridiculous Foxface, you're probably the most cool-headed person on this forum, it was very unnecessary for an apology when you did nothing wrong! But, wow, have you considered becoming a politic with that silver tongue of yours :3
I think you're cool and have not noticed the problem thing you speak, glad you are feeling good better c:
I believe I might know of the period you're referring to, but I definitely wouldn't say it defined your presence on the site. We all go through darker periods and there is no reasons to be hard on yourself. Though acknowledging when we feel we have allowed our struggles to effect are actions or attitudes is very mature and I am happy that you shared this with us.
And I thank you Gen And I want to state again that the mods and admins did not in any way push my hand on this thread. It was all me. To the mods, I thank you for putting up with that period. Not a single person on this forum is perfect and that's what makes people so darn fascinating...the imperfections. Yeah we all do stupid crap time and again but I find it so easy to forgive people for one major reason Because when i think about someone who has "wronged" me I have but to look in a mirror and see the wrongs in my own life. I tell you it is sobering and yet exhilarating all at once to realize you don't have to carry grudges upon yourself or others. i suppose I am getting off topic now but this is why, while by nature I am disturbed and angry with homophobes, I can't bring myself to hate them. Again, I have wronged others too. But on a slightly different note, I find myself fascinated with the question of what brought them to such hatred and venom. Doesn't excuse their behavior, but it sure does give it new light thanks again friends, lovers (giggidy) and all around good friggin people of EC and no I would SUCK at politics HoldingB I am free enough to admit I can speak very eloquently when I want...problem is I am too afraid of the court of public opinion. It's one of my weaknesses I admit. When people dislike me I find myself overconcerned I'll just stick to psychology and let the thicker skinned folks mess up the country besides...if they thought Obama was a Socialist they would LOATHE me lol
You said "thank you." I say "You're welcome." I've just always read into your posts, and your persona, as having a practical outlook, wisdom, and some street smarts.
