Can I apologise...

Can I apologise...
Here's that hubris of mine again...

I would like to extend my apologies for the last few days when I have dragged various people into my personal circumstances. It was insensitive of me, and horrifically arrogant. I then requested that my thread be deleted by the moderators in order that I could avoid implication through disclosure on a social media site. This is intended to protect me from any further problems, which would be my own fault and I am sorry for the problems it may have caused.

What has happened, has happened. I will not speak about it again, nor would I like anyone to refer to it again - I know that is an arrogant request. My family and I are embarking on a new direction and I would now like to leave the whole affair in the past. Please - I was drunk, angry and stupid - it is what it is and I am excited about the opportunities ahead.

The moderators have been amazingly understanding and I am very grateful for their help in this matter. I extend my apologies to the moderators and assure them that I will not behave with such recklessness again. I am so sorry for the inconvenience.

The support I was shown by the board community was tremendously inspirational and, with sincerity, I will always hold that dear. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. As does my wife who is stood beside me as I write this message. There are tears in my eyes - I don't mind admitting - and I am so overwhelmed by all of your support.

I would ask that we now all move forward with the matter and I hope that my recklessness and idiotic immaturity not be held against me, nor colour your opinion of me.

I have enjoyed being a part of this community and would hope that I can remain an active part of it for many years yet to come.

Here's to new beginnings!

Thank you.

Cheers to new beginnings! And as for going on drunken tirades, you're not the first, nor the last. First time I posted here while pissed, I was so embarrassed that I didn't dare log on for a week.. Big Grin
But seriously, you have nothing to worry about (beside the reason for that particular thread), you did not come across as oafish or drunk, nor were you in any way unreasonable or selfish. Let the hangover pass, take a few steps back and hopefully you can agree with me that this wasn't a bad incident.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Sorry mate. Can't accept those apologies. Because you did nothing worthy of apologizing for.

Its called community. Its made up of like minded people who are there for each other. Thats neither insensitive nor arrogant

RE: Can I apologise...
Let me get this straight... you're apologizing for sharing your life with the members of an online forum, where that life crosses with the main subject of said forum?
Can you imagine how barren the forum would be if people didn't do that?
O.k., you shared a bit too much, but I have felt no arrogance nor abhorrence... just the need to reach out and have some other people telling you did the right thing...that's human nature.
I'm sorry for being brutally honest and not patting your back as much as you would have liked.
:p

Aww, man. I missed a drunken tirade? People always save the fun stuff for when I leave the building.

I am insult.

Don't live your life and stay online 20/7 like I do, and you'll miss nothing! Big Grin
