I don't want this to turn into a flame fest so I'll keep it simple.
Thunderfall admitted he was wrong for publicly saying A of A was wrong.
A of A admitted that he was wrong about not explaining WHY he banned Hakan.
I'm going to try to be as big as they are by ALSO admitting that I was wrong.
Although I still feel that Hakan's banning was unjustified and that I still will often disagree with A of A's actions - I handled that situation completely wrong.
My post (as mentioned before) was done out of anger - I saw what i believe(d) to be an injustice - mixed with a long standing disagreement/feud with A of A and I posted without thinking. Ever hear the old saying about "holding your breath and counting to 10 when you're angry"? Well THATS what I should have done.
THEN if I still had my issue i should have lodged a private complaint either to Thunderfall or A of A.
I don't believe that I was simply an idiot with a grudge - if so I would have taken many other opportunities to cause trouble - I instead was standing up for something I truly believe(d) in. I did however I let my emotions take over.
What happened in the end? I caused strife and tension in an environment that I mostly enjoy (even if some things I see make me angry).
I hope to continue to add a valuable voice to our forums around here in the future. If I see calls that I consider to be unfair I still may make criticisms - but the melodrama, and most importantly flames against mods won't happen again - regardless of how we personally feel about each other.
In conclusion, I hope that I can be judged by an overall pattern of past behaviour and not just this anomaly.
I won't be replying to anything posted in this thread because I don't want to turn it into a fight - I just wanted to say something that I felt had to be said.
