So, that's the story. Thanks for making it clear Derek. Now, I know at least I'm not that ignorant about what was goin on around here.lol. I don't have the right to judge or comment anything. So, peace to all.
Yeah. I become involved in the situation against my better judgment. I'm still not quite sure why I did it. That's the reason I haven't tried making excuses, because I know none of them would be true. If you don't support this, I can accept that. That's been a big part of me changing as a person over the past several months: Accepting the things I can't change. If you do, that's great. If not, the only thing I can do is prove that I'm a better person than I was, for keeps this time. And this isn't an empty promise like before. I learned my lesson and realized that words really do hurt people. I can't do that anymore.
well not to like bring up the issue but why was Penny and Sylar banned what was their involvement? cuz i miss them Penny in particular
Lets just say her "Niceness" turned a 180 on people. She didnt say stuff about me I am pretty sure but I was appalled it was the same person typing those things. Sylar, I have no idea about.
For what it's worth, I am still friends with them, though we all haven't really been talking with each other as much as we were, simply because we're all off doing other things now. But to go back to what someone said earlier, no, I'm not relaying what's going on here to them, because they don't care anymore. They've moved past it. I did tell them I was coming back here, and they didn't mind. So it's not like we've got some big espionage thing going on, if that's what anyone's worried about. They've moved on. I don't know if I mentioned it in this thread or not, but as far as all of us moving on and doing other things, I'll touch on what I'll be doing. I just turned 22 and I've got nothing to show for my life. That's why in about a week and a half, I'll be moving out and I'll be on my own for the first time. I need my ass kicked by the real world so I know what it's like, so I can deal with real challenges and problems. Not living in the past anymore is something I'm getting past, and I think I'm doing OK so far. Like I told Derek, I'm hoping that, by doing all this, I'll start to do all that growing up and maturing I've talked about so much. But I promise this won't blow up in your faces.
Thank fucking God someone else was thinking exactly what I am. For ages the topic has been brought up in the background, and some of us long term members who knew all the people involved in it haven't bene told what's happened. I know it's become a Tabboo subject, but it's been really fucking me off when it's mentioned and I've got no idea because people don't want to say. So thank you Derek for explaining, now I know what went down, I can form my own opinion, instead of waking up one day, logging on and finding out people have been banned. --- As for Will reterning: I still know very little about what happend and what was said. We've never really talked on the forum or anything and I don't know a lot about you. So this isn't a big deal for me you returning again, so I haven't got a problem with it.
I just don't want people "accepting" this just because other people are. I mean, if enough people speak up against it, I'll just slip out quietly. Otherwise I want to be a part of the community again. I miss it.
Happy late birthday on turning 22. Best of luck finding them challenges in the real world.. Their quite the biggie ><
To be honest, I wasn't paying much attention around the time this happened, so I can't say I have any personal feelings. I understand the nature of the situation then and now, and I can accept Will's apologies but am also okay with the short leash he is on. Like Arlene said, whether or not you care is up to you, but don't just go bashing him now that he's opening up again. If he screws up, he's done. And that's all there is to it. I'm sure he's heard enough already. It's good to have you back, Will. I've missed you.
I've been here for quite a while. This is a great forum and all, but if there's one bad thing I'd ever have to say about it is the kind of shit like this that goes on. I've seen sooo many people leave, come back, be banned, come back, two, three, four times over. Then the "I'm back!" thread gets made and the apologies start rolling in. I don't have a problem with anyone, but if you're gonna leave, then leave. Once a bad seed, always a bad seed, and that's my opinion. Someone, or a group of people, do this every year.
Thanks. And, yes...these are some big challenges I'll be facing. I'll be facing more once I go back to school and have to balance college, work, and my social life in a couple of months. But I hope I come out better for it. Thanks. Nah, I don't mind if people continue to talk about it. I mean, it's not like it's going to go away. I'd prefer if we could leave it in the past, but that's not going to happen for a long time...not until I prove myself again. I'm fine with that, really. Like I said, I can't change what anyone thinks, nor do I want to. That's all a big part of my new outlook on life. I can't change a lot of things, and I've got to accept that. And thanks, man. Thank you. Yeah. I know where you're coming from. Speaking from being a person who's done this...well, a lot...I know where you're coming from. It's ridiculous. But I felt like this time, more than any time in the past, I needed to come back. The other times I didn't need to, and all I did was make myself look bad and I've become the boy who cried wolf one too many times. That's why I'm not trying to shove this down anyone's throat. If people want to accept it, that's amazing, but if not, I can accept that. And I can say that 100% truthfully. It's clear you're probably not going to be able to accept it for a while, just because of what you described and not necessarily because of who I am, but I accept that. -- I'm not sure who else has said what, but thanks to everyone who's welcomed me back. I mean it. And to those of you who don't accept this, I hope you'll see in time that I'm really a better person. You don't have to accept me or be my friend or anything like that when that time comes, but I hope you'll at least know that I'm not just bullshitting you all this time.
I've never had any problem with you, Will, so your return is just fine with me. The fact that you've made a concerted effort to make amends with the people you may have hurt or angered in the past is commendable, as far as I'm concerned. Welcome back.
