Hey everyone. I wanted to apologize to the board for taking the troll bait over the last few days and engaging in board drama. It would be foolish of me to say it won’t happen again, so instead I’ll simply say that I’ll try to do better. I know the ignore button is my friend in that regard and I had been using it to good effect for some time but that “view post” button is a little too tempting to click sometimes. I wish we had the option to remove the temptation.
I know not everyone will believe this, but I truly don’t enjoy drama and conflict, and when there is legitimate conflict I prefer to handle it privately. I haven’t always done a great job of that myself, I realize, even outside of the troll situations.
What I do enjoy is trying to make this board a more fun, thought-provoking, and helpful place, and interacting positively with a really cool and awesome bunch of people that I never would have met except for this wonderful thing we call the hobby. I realize that engaging in drama promotes the opposite of these things. I’d rather be a guy who gets along with everyone and ignores those who have an agenda to promote discord. Unfortunately the heat of the moment gets the better of me sometimes and I don’t always live up to my best self that I want to be here. Mea culpa.

We are all guilty of entertaining the wonderful world of drama. Although it's negative, it's needed for balance. (Its when you don't or can't shut it off is when it becomes a problem).
I appreciate your unnecessary apology
Guess whos getting the spankings next time
