Apologies from Ash

[ashura9699]

Look, everyone, I'm sorry for being such an ass on the forums seven months ago. After that whole series, I became super inactive. Now I'm back. I acted like that because I was new to forum-type websites and didn't really know how to act. I have become a different person since then, so please, don't treat me or judge me based on my previous actions.
I won't do it again.

Umm i don't exactly know you but im pretty sure you don't need to apologize.
If someone DOES judge you just say the person didn't need to mention it

I have absolutely no idea who you are. (I also don't know who I am either, so we're in the same boat.) But I can share one thing with you, though. Words and ideas, unlike actions, are not necessarily permanent - and so I'm always willing to accept a change if you're willing to prove you've gone through with it. If you've killed a man or stolen his ass, you can't undo that transgression. But if you said some misguided or ill remarks, so you can certainly go back on those with no cost - and I encourage you to! After all, you've had seven months, which is plenty of time to think about how you view other people.

Besides. There are others running around with terrible grievances around that they've yet to apologize. No one's yet to apologize for maliciously impersonating admins, trying to get them hacked, running around flashing their teats everywhere, or spreading furry culture. (You know who you are!) Some simple misgivings of wordplay are palpable by comparison. In fact, I wouldn't really mind the community having an apology thread like this. It's good to own up to one's mistakes, and to own up to my word, I'll do it to.

Dear CutStuff,

I apologize for not being enough of an elitist asshole.

In the normal beaches of an open sandbox, one person starts building his own castle and others join into the mix, adding onto it. But only as long as they can before the tidal wave comes and knocks it down, forcing them to refortify. If it didn't, you'd have a bunch of old, moldy, and dirty sand that's become overburdened by too many people adding onto it, becoming a product of inbreeding and bastardization of its original shape. Without a careful outside criticism of your claims (or anyone's), it's easy to let it fall into the norm. I have always made it my goal not to let this happen, but I've gone soft lately and now the community (and its projects) are in a horrible state of overgrowth. I'm still somewhat busy compared to what I was before, but I hope now I can offer enough push back to make you guys want to move in the right direction. After all, you guys shouldn't take shit from anyone - especially not from me!

Oh, alright. Thanks for letting me know that the community needs you to keep it afloat.  Now excuse me while I pull up a few more chairs to make room for your ego..

[Tesseractal]

Not me; I'm not central to this community's survival (like Ivory is). It needs someone. At times I feel like the designated guy for that position, but I haven't been playing the role as much of late.

Like with many things. Anyone can cut weeds, but if no one does your garden's going to hell.
