An apology is owed, to all users here.
My relatively short time as a user has been marred by removed posts, a two-week timeout, and an direct rejoinder from @jlw, the publisher. These are not things ideal to a fledgling user and these are not things to which a user should aspire.
I fully expected to have been banned because of my aberrant behavior.
I value the community here and I have thought quite a bit about how I’ve effed up. I don’t want to lose my place here and I am working to not place myself in a situation where I might say or post something I will regret.
It is at this point that I would like to hope that my apology can be conveyed to any users I’ve hurt, upset, or offended; and to those who might not see this because they have possibly ignored or blocked me. It was never my intention to hurt anyone and I’m sorry.
That said, I’m going offline to think and reflect some more. I have a busy offline week and won’t be back until Sunday, 24 March. Wishing a pleasant day to all.
