Hello all, I want to make a sincere apology to all those I have offended. This is something that has been bugging me for the last few days, not only because I miss a lot of people on here very dearly already (as overly-sentimental that may be), but because I feel that I have left without making a number of much-needed apologies that were long overdue. Firstly, my apology to PokemonGardevoir, who was the main 'target', i suppose you could say, of my joking - which came across to several as harassment which was by no means my intention. I think that is important to mention that I recognise the fact that PokemonGardevoir is one of the most active users of Minetown, both on the forums and in-game. We all know that she is one of the most frequent contributors to the website and has been engaged in the community right from the start, shortly before I joined towards the end of 2011. This is my personal apology to her - an apology that I really do hope she accepts but would fully understand if she did not. Secondly, an apology to Irethena, who was thrown in right at the deep end when she became a moderator and as far as anybody can judge somebody in her position, she has done a damn good job considering. I criticised Irethena several times in the past week or so with regards to various choices and punishments, without accommodating for the fact that I was only defending these people because they were my friends. Had I been in the situation where I was neutral towards these people, I would most likely have agreed with her.

The jobs of Moderators and Admins on this server, considering they even give up their free time to help us, are hard enough as it is. I should not have been as narrow-minded as I was by making Irethena's job any harder. Finally, an apology to the whole community, some of which still remain very good friends, some of which may however, be offended by things I said and did - despite only being a joke in my eyes. It seems that I need a more defined sense of moderation and to know when I have crossed the line. A lot of the things that I had said recently, were merely in response to my ban. I saw 'a red mist descend over my eyes' as the dramatic amongst us would have it. I said things that I would not have otherwise said that, again, were offensive. I sincerely hope that each and every one of you can forgive me but, as I said before, I won't blame you if you don't. I intend to stay on Minetown, lurking the walls and (If I am no longer forum-banned) forums because I enjoy being on the site very much. Obviously, I am not a TOTAL jerk so please don't expect this to ever happen again because I have learned my lesson and have really had my eyes opened in the past 24 hours. Thank you again, everybody.

Coffeey, just be careful yourself. I'm not so sure if the staff will appreciate you passing his message on
