Eating Humble Pie

My Public Apology For Last Week's Post's

By gardenerstouch Posted June 20, 2008 17:33:51

To Stardock Support, Wincustomize, and to the forum community, I issue this sincere apology for my recent behavior in the Impulse area of the forums. I have had some things going on in my life for some time now that recently precipitated my obnoxious behavior, but I recognize now that this behavior was inexcusable. I should not have made my problems your problems. I have been a member of WinCustomize Forum since 2005, and I have always been what I would characterize as a quiet introverted backbencher, and my recent behavior is not typical of my usual behavior. I hope that you can find it in your hearts to forgive those transgressions. Thank you for listening. Again, my sincerest apologies.

P.S. Feel free to comment if you wish, but be aware I cannot respond. I'm sure I'll diserve whatever comments you can dish up anyway, so no response should be required... right?

Thanks for stepping up; it says more about you than your recent behaviour.

Thank you.

For my part - apology accepted.

You Live you learn.

We all have acted badly at times in our lives, it's the ability to recognize those times and try to make amends that truely shows who we are as Individuals. Thanks for the Post, I hope this will be the first of what ever steps are needed to return to the fold.

Peace HG.

Good, bad or obnoxious behavior will always be part of the forums. Why, because we are a community of people. People will have good and bad days, weeks, or what ever.

The fact that you felt you needed to take the the time to explain your actions is no less then what would be expected from a member of the community. Did you get that, I said you are a member of the community, don't forget it.

Besides what you may have happening in your personal life, you had frustrations with trying to use the software. As individuals we can only take so much before the steam blows the top off of the pot.

For myself, apology accepted.

For my part - apology accepted.

Ditto

Forgiven and forgotten.

Fresh start

Forgiven and forgotten.

Ditto.We've all said or done things that in retrospect were out of our true character.I like ice cream with my humble pie.

“The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget.”

the wise forgive but do not forget

too true

Apology appreciated and accepted here as well

All people make mistakes ... "to err is human, to forgive divine"

glad it was a momentary lapse and things seem to be working out for you.
for my part apology accepted

Thank you very much for your efforts in this. It takes a big man to admit when he is wrong.

I wish more people could do the same more often (I am not ecempt from this of course).

From support I'll thank you myself for the gesture.

I think they've said it all.

Well, i don't know
My dear snow
What You have done
Long ago, had gone
Break that past
And cast
Our friendly dove
With your love
With our love
With their love....

Whatever a man does, THE ALMIGHTY wants him to do that...
....So no regrets for past, See the present, Feel the future ...thats beautiful.....
....Can you see that !!!!!!!

Your human! If you need an apology for that...accepted!

We're building up and tearing down,
In every thing we do.
Are you on the construction gang,
Or on the wrecking crew?

WOM's all for second chances.

Alrighty then

Personally this is how I feel.

I don't know what you did. I don't know what you said. For that matter, I don't know you. But this much I do know. For a man to pour his heart out in apology to an entire community regardless of feedback, reprecussions or consequence, that is a genuine man.

The kind of man that keeps a great community strong. The kind of man I wouldn't mind being around.

And that's alright with me...

Here's to you Gardenerstouch!

Oh, and since we're on a friendly note here, screw up again and the entire community is gonna rag you 'til you curl up into a fetal position! We will make you sorry you own a computer!

And that's a promise!

I'm a firm believer in second chances when someone admits to thier mistakes and takes steps to correct them...this was a big step in the right direction.

but be aware I cannot respond

Ironic...when I look at your profile from Impulse, your still a citizen and not exiled.

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.”

woah that's pretty damn deep

Exiles are site specific . .bans cross over all of Stardock's site.
