Artful's Apology

[artful]

I realised before I ever made a post in THIS forum
how valuable cymbidia was, and continues to be, as a qualified source of information on many BDSM lifestyles. It saddens me that the first thread I start here, is one where I feel the need to offer an apology to her. I do owe her one though, and I give it to her the best way possible,...in an open thread for all to see. I have not been coerced by anyone to do this,...I do it freely. No Moderator or anyone else has PM'D saying, "Art,...this is what you need to do!" I felt it in my heart even before anniebug made her apology thread. Pride is always a danger to us all, and it certainly has played a great part of my defensive posturing. Though I DO, disagree with a little of cymbidia's philosophy, I respect her in many ways. I know she has poured a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into making this BDSM forum a success. Not ONLY her, but others also.

I also apologise for my part in prolonging the EVENT, and for the feelings I may have hurt with my sarcastic postings,...there are too many names to list,...so I will just have to lump the rest of you together, with all of the other BDSM forum participants.

P.S.~Anniebug, thank you for being who you are,...and helping me to see what my next step should be,...swallowing my pride and doing the RIGHT thing.

Oh my sweet Jesus Jumping,

How smarmy can you get.

I am so embarrassed reading this and knowing that this is a guy who is ten years older than myself.

When are you people ever going to get real.

You crack me up!!!!!!!!

Seems you suckered anniebug into this mega bullshit too..

Oh well, as I said "But unfortunately not very smart"

Sweetwood,

I think you need to grow up and realize that Artful was making a heartfelt apology to the other people on this forum...especially me.

I think he is a bigger man than you seem to be.

Shame on you!!

For my part, I have no trouble assuming the sincerity of Artful's apology, and gladly accept it.
I hope that this will end the dissension in this forum, and that we can again focus on our common interest, and not our minor differences.

What she said.

Now let's put it behind us.

I accept your apology and tender one back to you, Artful, of my own - just as sincerely apologetic and regretful of the nastiness. Forgive me please. I did you and dream a wrong and i am sorry. If nothing else, i've learned a lot about how truly small and bad it makes me feel in my soul, how petty and mean, to be so godawful hypercritical. I deeply regret the whole affair.

Let's put it behind us, shall we?

We'll all grow a bit stronger and more sure of who we are here in this wonderful place for surmounting such negativity. I think people are strengthened as much through adversity as in any other way.




Sweetwood, Artful's the apology was intended for me, first and foremost. I'm sorry that you didn't hear the sincerity that i thought rang out clearly in his words. Perhaps if you read his post again, his desire for a return to peaceful ways here will ring as true for you as it does for me - and as it did to the rest of those who have seen and relied to his words.

Your words have truly put peace in my heart! Thank You!

Good for you two; I knew you had it in you. I admire and respect you both for doing that toughest of all things: admitting you were (both) wrong. Many blessings to you.

Yes bless you both for your maturity.

(Now I just wish I knew what this was all about)

I am glad I do not know. But I am also glad that we have folks who can resolve their differences without insults and flamethrowers.
