I also want to apologize specifically to Dino, Gio, and Jiri. I was especially harsh toward you, and I am truly sorry.
Without going into too much detail, my family and I have recently dealt with a significant level of harassment. I am not sharing this to seek sympathy, but to say that if I’ve made anyone feel even a fraction of how that experience made me feel, that is not okay. This board was not making me a better person and I was not making this board a better place. So, once again, my sincerest apologies.

Hey friend.
I just wanted to say good on you for your post here. I’m not sure what the history was or what actions you’re refefencing as I guess I don’t read a lot of the feuding or back/forth, but it takes character and strength to acknowledge faults and you deserve to know and hear that.
This is uniquely true online where one doesn’t have to own up to their behaviors or actions and is protected by the safe haven of anonymity. In most cases it’s easier to even double down when confronted or just go dark or outright ignore versus owning up.
But you ultimately chose a path far less travelled. And as you can see by all the likes from your post, it was extremely well received.
I don’t want to derail the alternate purpose of your thread which is gaining traction, so please refrain from replying to this as it’s not required and is as of now off topic. This is just a footnote in a thread otherwise intended for Sean Avery.
With respect,
JMac
