Thread: An apology | Forums

  1. #1
    This forum is unique and I have only just recently discovered this.
    I had thought the cameraderie and maturity displayed here was unique to the online Myst communities, that it was something about the Myst games that attracted people who could see the difference between a heated discussion and meanspiritedness.
    I was mistaken. It is unique to THIS forum and THIS group of people.
    This misconception recently cost me. I fear it may cost this forum.
    By my blundering I have drawn attention to this small corner of the internet and may have opened it up to the very mean, nasty and downright childish behaviour that typifies most other places on the 'net.
    I apologise unreservedly to this community for any hurt I have or will cause it.
    Thank you all for the good times I've had here, and I pray they will continue.
    cheers.

    it's okay, MM, you are only human. I have made bigger mistakes online in my forum past, and it took the threat of banning to get me to stop.

    MM, what in the world do you mean ? That now a lot of people from other forums read our board out of curiosity sparked by a controversy (has anyone else noticed a few threads that have 50 posts and over 700 view hits? )? What of it? Even if a bunch of obnoxious types do rear their ugly heads, they'll behave themselves or pay the price just like everyone else. I believe the personalities in our community are strong enough to keep our standards up. We know who we are and we know what we want. Your apology demostrates your devotion and quality as a member of this community, but it is absolutely unnessessary. No one here believes for a moment that you would ever have purposely attracted negativity. We love ya !

    If you were to be punished for bringing riff-raff to this board then jlina, amn, and sky would have to be punished also. After all they brought Ras, kreeden, and myself to this board. I think this puts you in good company.

    Us aussies LOVE riff raff - so I don't think it's "riff-raff" that she's worried about.

    Hmm, "humoourless jerks" springs to mind tho.

    Hey MM do you remember when we had the Man hunt a while back and some jerks from another forum started poping in long enough to TRY and cause trouble? (one of those jerks was actually a MOD on another forum) Well I dont see them here any more and anyone else that wants a piece of that action will soon go away with their tails between their legs just like the rest.
    I dont believe an Apology was nessecary!

    I also happen to think we got the better end of that deal We did get Ron, Ras and that hunkey hunkey Ogre

    MM , I have been meaning to send you a PT , but true is , I don't know what to say in it .

    But basically it would have gone something like ... I don't know the whole story behind what happened , but I do have a pretty good idea . And although I have always had a lot of respect for you speaking your mind , this Uru thing has only increased that respect . And I think that if anything , this whole affair has brough us all a little closer . { I hope }


    BTW Ron , it was MM , Kiz and Joy who kinda brough me over here . :P

    I second that...

    And going back even further, just 6 months after Exile was released, the world and its wife got Exile as a Christmas present, and we got inundated with troublemakers, at a time when Al, (our only mod back then) was on vacation...

    Yet we did a pretty good job of seeing them off ourselves.

    BTW Not everyone that found the forums that Christmas was bad. Cos that was when we gained Trucker, Mystmum, Kis, Amm, and others too...

    Oh man let me tell you that this forum is home to a good (somnthymes bad) witch and has seen her cauldron boil on other forums where the "mood" is created to cause contraversy. Well this little ol Habrinner did not go there....much!!! ..even when these apes (although one of them was good looking ) came over here to spoil me fun..there were Mysters who came in my defense..some are here, some are gone. ...so MM you are one of the people who I still respect and blow Wind Kisses to...and believe me..not all get that! Just feel the calm soothing wind on your face and know it came from a better place. Aho!
