Thread: Apology to the community
Hello, It has been brought to my attention a few times over the last year that I have been over the top in my presentation of myself and have in fact alienated and offended many of the community. To be honest I am unaware of everything I have done but I do take the opinion of those who have taken the time to point it out to me seriously. They have been peers, friends, and community members, some of them for over a decade. The last year has been very trying personally. If you wish to know details, please email me directly. Although, I know that I can be a difficult personality even at the best of times, I have always tried to keep the communities best interest at heart. It is this past year, and the trials associated that brought about, frankly what I would consider some of the worst of who I am. With that, I would like to apologize directly to this community that has provided me with so much, not just professionally but personally.
