Earlier this year I made an attack on this forum and DADsFME as well.
Part of my complaints was I considered it biased towards a couple of issues that have been done and dusted. I know that a couple of my comments were considered offensive by at least one of the people who tried to do their best, in their words.
Note this is the area that I am talking about here my actions, I am not looking to open up the debate at all. Take this as you want.
Over the past few weeks I have been getting more and more bothered over some of the remarks I made as the weeks have rolled on. Yes, it’s only words on the internet but I am not 100% impressed about my behaviour.
During this period, I have had contact with one of the people that I probably pissed off in the thread and that PM chain has been nothing but friendly.
More recently, I have been dealing with another person who I pissed off over on another forum via PM’s. Again, that PM chain has been nothing but friendly.
These people could have told me to go and f*** myself where the sun does not shine, they did not. There could have been no dialogue at all – I am not sure that I probably deserved any. Either way, the doors had been opened and we’ve spoken – I am not sure that if the roles were reversed I’d have even bothered with me, if I was them.
All I want to do is say thank you very much – you know exactly who you are and I apologise for what I said and insinuated.
The only thing that matters from the wreckage of what has recently happened is our admin here. I wish him well for 2018 and if this message means anything, consider this…
- I could have posted this where not main people would have seen, I did not and am publically calling myself out.
- It maybe only words on the internet, but we are people behind those words – at times, we should hold up a mirror and see if we would like them coming back in our own direction.
- This is a hobby – we will never capture the old days and it is dying. This is probably because of our own behaviours and there is a lot of us that hold that torch – let’s try to make 2018 more welcoming for those around. The people that have recently returned, let’s give them a reason to stay.
That is me done – I’ll not be as soft as shit to you lot like this ever again, but the people will know who I mean when they read this and I hope they accept the apology.
If I am man enough to call things out publically – I am man enough to post regrets and an apology.
Peace out – have a wonderful 2018.
