First off, I would like to say thank you to all the well wishers you have sent me E-Mails and PM's. With life where it is, it's a really great feeling knowing that I have friends who are ready and willing to listen if or when I'm ready to talk. I can't tell you how much that means right now.
Secondly, yes, I am making an appearance on FR, but no, that doesn't mean I'm quite ready to come back to full active status. I've lost control of my temperament once, and there's currently no guarantee that it won't happen again any time soon.
And that brings me to my third and primary reason for posting. BigD, I owe you a very large apology. I was out of line in how I spoke to you, and you certainly didn't deserve it. I won't make excuses for my actions, but I will say that I was wrong in how I responded to you. Normally, this is something that I would do via a PM, but since my behavior was done publicly, I felt that a public apology was the very least you deserved.
To all my friends at FR, I wish you the best, and again I thank you for all the well wishes. Take care guys.
We'll still be here when you're ready to come back man. We really miss you around here.
That said... You are not the only one who owes BigD an apology. I have also been very short with him about things he really had nothing to do with, and for that... BigD, I was wrong, and I am sorry.
It is no small thing to apologize on the anonymous internet, so bully to you for doing so, CB. I think that speaks a great deal to your character. As 'Mato said, we'll still be here when you feel like coming back. In the meantime, our prayers go with you.
