An Act of Contrition

To the people I upset, offended or let down .. I'm sorry.
I can make a lot of excuses, but I won't.

I haven't changed my opinion on the matter. The things I called out as wrong were wrong, to me at least, and I would have been a liar to myself if I didn't say something about them .. but I am pretty disgusted with how my anger got the better of me. I said things I shouldn't have. So, I'm apologizing for that to the community that I love.

I do love the Sift and I regret if I hurt it .. or any of you.

I agree with what UP said above, but that doesn't really matter. We don't have to get along all of us, and you are certainly a valued member of the sift and it's good that you've calmed down.

The whole incident did more bad than good, imo, but that's that. I can forgive and forget easily.

Coincidence? Providence? Who knows. It was a nice post by Mink in any event.
Personally, I don't feel like I need the blanky .. but I could always use more hugs.

I made this apology to people like you Swampgirl. People I sort of know but don't really know. I know you through your comments, your sifts, your promotes and playlists .. that's it.

But .. all of those things, when blended together with the rest of us, and our various quirks and contributions have created a family here. And I love this family. And I've come to have a great deal of respect for that and maybe a bit of a protection instinct for it as well. It's important to me, and so are you and everyone else here.

But families fight and communities will never always agree. So we have polls and siftquisitions and the benevolent yet mad sift gods have left it in our hands to work towards peace or battle to the death for their amusement. Like that one Trek episode .. remember?

At the end of the day, I'm not quite prodigal. Mostly because I never really left and the rest is explained in my reply to UsesProzac now ..

I'm not apologizing to you.
I'm not apologizing for the siftquisition either.

I apologized to the community for my behavior during it. I let my anger get the better of me.
I said some things in an offensive way and I shouldn't have.
It doesn't change the fact that I think you are psychotic, abusive, malicious and bad for the Sift.

You have a history of harassing people at this site which continues even now, as you have been hammering my profile with messages ever since I came back, even though I just delete them without responding.

I care about this site, the community and the friends I've made here. I regretted the way I acted. I expressed that here so that people might understand. Thankfully, a lot of them get it. You, on the other hand, have no remorse and apparently still think it's OK to send profile comments wishing people were raped, etc.

I have no remorse concerning anything I've ever said to you. I can honestly say that I wouldn't pull you from the path of an oncoming bus
.

I come from downtown Normal which has different ways from those in Crazyville. Over here it's generally not cool to send pictures of dead babies with recipes on how to cook them along with wishes that the person be raped. But hey, we're just different. That doesn't mean you have some license to fuck with me every day. Please try and learn some respect for that and I will continue to try ignoring you.

Why don't you start looking at your own behavior here and stop worrying about me altogether. The SiftQuisition is over. I have tried to ignore you and get past it. I am getting sick and tired of the constant bullshit in my profile though. Take you're hobbling with dignity and move on.

UsesProzac says...

Not so. I am replying in kind.

I will not bend over and grab my ankles. Not unless Burd asks real, real nice. And he hasn't. In fact, he says that I am harrasing him. I'd really like to understand that!
