I spent this fine evening sitting on an empty beach a few miles out of limits, staring at the moon. Thinking. Twas beautiful and wise.

I know what I posted offended a lot of people. Before I make excuses, I will say outright that I typed everything wrong, and I apologize to those who I did upset. I hope everyone feels at ease knowing that I meant no harm or disrespect :)

I still hold my opinions. I will say the only reason I bolded Religion was because it is one of the biggest examples. Not an example of ignorance or being stubborn, but an example of something many people believe in. I was merely trying to state the opposite ends of the spectrum, and how sometimes each end is ignorant and stubborn to the other. Not in generality ;) The only reason I wanted to post anything about this was because I felt KR as a whole, did not know much about me. Please note, I don't dislike Religion or any of it's subcategories. My belief was simply typed wrong, and so it came out wrong.

I know I made some snappy comments, but as you can probably tell if you know me, I'm pretty emotional and sensitive. Having my anger get the best of me is not something I'm proud of, and I assure everyone that when I say things that come across mean, I almost always end up regretting and not meaning them. Sometimes :P

I would like to point out, however, that while on the server earlier today, I was harassed and accused of ridiculing belief by someone who I know is either in this clan currently, or is an Ex-member. I will not give away any of my assumptions, but they know who they are, and if they are reading this, then I strongly suggest you heed my words.
Not only did this little incident occur to me on the server where I have taken screenshots of the logs, but you also made the mistake of harassing me with a friend of mine close by (Whom of which I will not name because I don't want to drag him into this.) I am not going to pursue whoever this is and make a huge deal out of it, but hopefully this person will be smart enough not to act so immaturely next time. Seeking me out in attempt to goad me into argument is not nice :(

I want everyone to remain aware, that although my view, even if wrongly conveyed, upset some people, I would expect that It be left here to be dealt with here, and not have someone, whom is using a grammatically incorrect pseudonym, go looking for me, hoping to start a fight. I will not be bullied, even if nobody put this person up to it, which is likely. I know there are some people that dislike me in this clan. I like you anyways, and would never do the same to you :)

As a gesture of good measure, I apologize once again for upsetting anyone.

Well, I googled what you said, and I must say, you do have some lovely beaches!

If anyone starts picking apart what you posted here I'll just lock it. I read this as an apology and I don't want anyone else getting more out of it than that.

Hey Wind. You didn't do or say anything that I took as offensive, but I appreciate you coming out and apologizing. That can take some guts. However, I was just curious about one thing you posted above.

I was just wondering how you knew it was one of the two entities you have stated. If they had tags on, it would have been obvious, so that makes me think they didn't, which would imply nothing except that they had read your forum post. Bear in mind that your post was made in a public forum section and that anyone on the forums could read it. Granted, that IS mostly current and ex-members, but I was just curious as to how you arrived at your conclusion. You don't have to respond here, or at all if you don't feel like it.

Well as I was one of those who apposed your statements I just want to remind you once more that I was never offended :) it's definantly not the first time we've had a disagreement after all lol! As I am sure anyone in this clan would say (or SHOULD the second paragraph I quoted disturbs me) I am still your friend and WILL be your friend regardless of a comment. We are a FAMILY after all.

But which leads me to the second piece I quoted from you. That's sad that someone would stoop to such a measure to flat out follow and attack you on server and was definantly in the wrong. I'm sorry to hear that possibly one of our own would do that..

And finally to the third piece as MasterM already stated it take great courage to formally apologize and for that I commend you!

I agree with those above and of course I too was not offended, quite the opposite actually. That being said, I'm more concerned with this apparent undercover harassment situation. I would like to know more of the details as well, but from what I read, you certainly do not deserve to be accosted in such a manner. I believe that this "undercover" business happens entirely too often and no member should be doing it. I assume that Jawfin is on it and reviewing the logs, so hopefully this lily-livered behavior ceases altogether.

I'm glad everyone is unscathed :)

As for what happened to me of the server..The reason that I figure it was one of us is because this person mentioned specifically that they had been watching me, and have been watching me progress through my entire time being a member of this clan. Like I said, this is my assumption, and I'm certainly not hoping that someone here would do that, but I can't see anyone simply going to these forums, going into General, and then having the determination to "Seek me out and see how I was like" as they said it. I'm just going to let this fade away, as I think they now know acting as they did was very immature.

That is just odd. I wouldn't put up with nonsense like that. I don't even know if immaturity is the right word, it seems just plain creepy.

Looking over the logs, I can see this person is not in the clan. In fact, no one in the clan is even in the same remote area as he/she is. This person has been on the server many times though, under many different aliases.
