I wasn't sure at first what I should apologize for. So it may be best to say what I am not sorry for first, to clear any misconceptions up.
I am not sorry for supporting a person who was being picked on. I am not sorry for supporting the players surrounding that person. I am not sorry for opposing certain individuals on this board, and their efforts to insult, defame, or destroy the in-game reputations of that player, or those around that player. I am not sorry for being morally correct. I remain morally correct.
It is in that spirit I am however obliged to apologize for who I defended. As it turns out, the defense was more important than the person being defended. The defense was about a principle. That principle remains solid.
I have withdrawn my support twice now from this person. Both times it seems are because that person has behaved in no better manner than those who I defended this person against. When he attacked a youth I waited. When the youth forgave him I did as well. That was their business, and once concluded it was over. This time its different. There can be no going back. Too many people would have to forgive them. Too many people whom he has never even met.
If I have opposed you, on this board or in-game, it is because I believed firmly (and likely still do) that you prey on the weak. That has not changed. What has changed is I am now firmly convinced this person is just like you.
Was there a scam? I don't know. If you want to stick to facts that's as far as the facts go.
Do I believe there was? No. I believe there was alot of stupid behavior, but no scam.
At this point, I really don't care. There is no further need or desire on my part to discuss anything about this person.
Those who are in the know realize who I am talking about. Those who do not, well, its just another piece of Entropian history you're probably fortunate to not have been part of.
Flame away. I really don't care what you think, and at the end of the day I wont lose any sleep if you have some sort of problem with what I have said. I considered my words carefully before writing them, and realize their implications fully, both positive and negative. That apology was for me. I have done it, and now the situation is over for me. Whether it's over for you or not is not my problem.
That will be all.
