Yesterday I posted comments about an action taken by the Admin group. I also took actions that have caused suffering and concern to many other members. I have posted an apology on the Admin side, where most of you never get to see the discussions and concerns about the Board in general and the welfare of all members as it relates to TS, specifically. It has been a distinct honor to help in that process and I only hope that the membership may someday know of the sincerity of the many Admin who actually are concerned that TS remains a viable and useful place for our members.
However, an apology there doesn't get seen by many others I may have offended, so I want to post a version of that apology here. I'm not looking/fishing for support. I will lock the thread to avoid anything like that. If you have comments about the lack of acceptability or sincerity of my apology, please contact one of the Admin and express those concerns.
So, here's an edited version of my apology on the Admin Forum:
QUOTE("xAirbusdriver")
Cooler heads, have, indeed, prevailed[...]. My actions and replies were based on my emotions and reactions[...].
I hereby, officially and publicly ( and I will shortly do the same on the other forums, edited to remove any person-specific comments ) for my emotionally charged, unfriendly, pointedly sarcastic, even unreasonable comments, both here and in the Community forums.
I fear that my comments have caused some other Admin to feel they cannot or do not want to be associated with TS. That is the last thing I want to see happen. I hope I can contact these people and encourage them to return.
To [specific Admin];
I specifically apologize to all of you and thank you for your constructive criticism. Some may never want to speak to me, again. Others have indicated an understanding of my comments but not my actions. Others would probably like to never see my screen name, again! I hope to be able to continue to provide some semblance of help and support and maybe a little humor in the other forums. My input here will always be my opinion and that's what I expect from all the Admin. We may still disagree with each other but I intend to continue to support the decisions made by the EC.
I truly wish each and every one of you a pleasant and successful day! Thanks for letting me speak.
