Due to other thread, and the CCB Admin's decison to remove one of my posts, I have decided to clear up this issue once and for all. I don't hate Fran Crimi. Fran has some tendencies that annoy me, but I do not hate her. Of course Fran and I have had our misunderstandings in the past, and in the future, that is where I will leave it.
Fran... I sincerely apologize if anything I have said here has offended you. That was not my intention. I the previous post I was poking fun at our past arguments, and... I even closed the statement by saying that I wished that you would return to the CCB. Some took offense to it and I became defensive and made some ugly comments that I shouldn't have. That was wrong and I will not do that again - even if I'm baited into it. I hope that you accept my apology as it is genuine.
For the record:
In September 2003, I recieved a lot of ugly e-mails obviously from members of the CCB accusing me of posting a message under the name "Mockingbird" and saying ugly things to Fran Crimi the day her mother passed away. It was the consensus of a few within this forum that I used that moniker to get in a cheap shot when Fran was obviously in a lot of emotional pain. I was not "Mockingbird" and I don't know who "Mockingbird" was. I thought what was written was ugly, foul, uncalled for, inappropriate, and mean. I was shocked when I started to recieve e-mails and PM's that chastised me for posting ugly things to Fran during that difficult time. I didn't make any comments to Fran, and I thought it inappropriate to turn her loss into a platform for sub-threads to defend my character. I know better than that. So I stopped posting to this forum for over a year. During my absence from the CCB, Fran also had her reasons for leaving this forum. She had her reasons,and if she ever chooses to share them perhaps you will get your answer.
I,like Fran, have many friends within the CCB community. Some of you I have met,some of you I haven't. Those that have spoken with me privately and those that know me know that I am not a nasty person. I have tried my best since I began contributing to this board again to be polite, and until that thread I think I was doing pretty good - but I will defend myself when I have to, especially when what is insinuated is not true and baseless. I have spoken to the CCB_Admin and I have promised to be nice. If any of the "few" people that have a problem with me (and you are a vast minority) get with me privately and get to know me personally before you make your judgments. I promise to do the same in return for you.
