I wanted to apologize to you guys.
Yesterday, I was having a really difficult day for many reason, but mainly because of what is happening with our beloved Joel. As I said in one of my posts, I had hit the angry stage of mourning.
Though I am not taking back anything that I have said, I do want to say sorry for my part in getting that thread closed.
I felt attacked, and given my high emotions at the time, I shot back at the person.
My biggest regret was that it was done on a thread that was meant for Joel. Completely inappropriate place to hash things out.
I also want to say sorry to those who were utilizing that said thread- some of my actions took that away from you.
So I have decided that when another thread gets started for our dear Joel, that I will not, under any circumstance, jump on anyone who decides to attack us. Not on the thread. I will handle that with PM's or simply put them on my ignore list.
I do hope that you all understand where I am coming from. I know alot of us dont know each other, but what it all comes down to is that I am desperately trying to do whatever it takes to make my friend change his mind. We dont have to agree. And thats ok.
I feel if I dont try as hard as I can, then I will have failed as a good friend.
So thats where I stand. I would ask- since the topic of what is going on with Joel is such a touchy one, that we remember to keep things about him, not about who is right or wrong. Lets handle that privately or on a seperate thread. When a thread is made for a specific person, it would be nice if we could keep it for THEM.
I will be the first to acknowledge this, and follow this.
I thank you for your understanding.
