Ok..this is important for me...to voice right out here in the open for all to see. I do it without any expectation whatsoever of any response....it is a gesture I need to make in acknowledgment of my behavior...it is my responsibility.
When I was with Lujan Matus at Parallel Perception, I projected harshness, self-righteousness, and outright slander toward LoneWolf and this those of this forum....some of you in particular here. I need to own it so, here goes...
Turin (if you're here)...I was being a brat confronting/harrassing you about something petty, looking back...so much so that its embarrassing to reflect upon...but there it is. From a Biblical perspective, I was screaming about the speck in your eye while ignoring the lumber in my own. I see it now...and I apologize. It was arrogant and overbearing...boorish. I regret it.
Ninth (you here, too?) same goes...willing to look at what I felt were your flaws without being openly honest about my own...without my presentation being tempered by that. Approaching you like this made me feel superior....important...like an authority. I'm not...and I don't want to be. You told me to "*** off!" in so many words LOL! and I'm sure in many ways I deserved it. At least you were creative about it. Being called a "horse-shitter!" is one of the rare moments of my life...I will never forget it!
Lex....you were a voice of wisdom perennially within the forum...but I needed to get above you...to be important..to be Lujan's right hand man...so I levied my aggression towards you blindly..without knowing what the *** I was talking about. My myopia is my reponsibility...and acting blindly injures..myself and others. I should have withdrawn into humility until I could see clearly, but I didn't. I apologize for "hurling rocks" as you made your way out the door. You were superb in your "turning the other cheek" so to speak. You hardly said a word in response. That's admirable.
Ravenmoon...like Lex, I've looked up to you from the moment you flourished as a warrior at PP...and perhaps that was my first mistake, in a manner of speaking...humble respect should have been the proper perspective. But I considered you "over me" so, naturally, when it was my turn to be "over you" I jumped at the chance, all the while using Lujan's approval to bolster faux confidence. Down deep, I knew your stance was a brave one...pointing out in Lujan what I knew was true down deep...warning signs regarding his character deficits (we all have them, of course) which flashed again and again but I never heeded because I was beguiled by flattery...by a feeling of prominence from within the group. You told me I "sold out", after you'd made your break, and you were right. I was more than happy to compromise myself, stepping into the vacancy you left behind in order to be closer to the top. This is not warriorism. This is politics...and I regret playing at it.
Wolf....to you and to those you represent here...anyone I levied self-righteous behavior towards...I truly apologize. I did everything in my power to discredit you and those here in your forum.....it was slanderous. Regardless of who's "spell" I was under at the time, it is my weakness and need for approval that rendered the spell effective...and it is my move towards strength to acknowledge it straight up, here and now. I'm eager to be strengthened that much more by sharing my warrior's intent with all of you here. Humbly at your service....
Glance (um...maybe I should change my name?
