Formal Public Apology to Laurie Jean and the members of ECCIE

Ladies and Gentleman KC Metro and Kansas Forum

A few short months ago I made some accusations toward a provider about trying to strong arm me for a cancellation fee and whether I owe her the money or not.

I have had some time to reflect on my life these past few months and I realized I was wrong in how I dealt with that situation. I got very sick a couple weeks ago that put me in the emergency room. During this time I realized I had made some poor decisions in my personal and hobby life.
Like I have always done I tried to blame it on my disability, and basically act like it did not happen.

I did offer Laurie a cancellation fee for me canceling short notice and I made excuses for not paying it and tried to put the blame on others shoulders.

In doing so I may have unintentionally damaged Laurie's business by getting the members and moderators at large in the KC Metro/Kansas ECCIE Community involved in a private business dealing between me and Laurie.

Once I quit listening to the people giving me poor advice and got my head out of my arse, I realized how low I had sunk and despicable I felt. I decided to try and make amends to Laurie, but it took me a few months for me to humble myself and admit I made a mistake and was wrong. I kept making excuses and putting Laurie off. I was wrong to do so.

I have now made amends to Laurie and will work on regaining her trust and the trust of this community.

I want to formally apologize to her and say I am sorry for being an ass and hiding behind my disability and not taking responsibility for my actions and words. If I caused you any damage to your reputation as a provider or cost you business I am truly sorry.

I would like to also apologize to the members and moderators of the KC forum for ECCIE for dragging them into the situation between me and Laurie and not being man enough to tell the truth.

This is a very hard thing for me to do because nobody really has held me accountable for my actions before. It took me time to humble myself and see that I was wrong.

I do apologize if this post is a long one but I felt that I owed it to Laurie and the members of this forum a formal public apology. Yes I made a retraction on the old post but this is the official one.

Laurie is a wonderful provider that loves what she does and goes out of her way to make sure her dates are happy. Please do not let my actions stop you from seeing her.

Once again thank you for all your help and understanding as I continue to grow and learn. Also thank you for taking the time to read this long post.

Sincerely
Oenghus

Merry Christmas to all and I wish a prosperous and Happy New Year to everyone.

Very big of you Oenghus. Thanks for the update.

Bravo. The true measure of a person's character is not whether they make mistakes, but what they do to correct them.

Hope Laurie can find a way to forgive and let it go.

Canellation fee?? Is there a fee when they do it to us offered??? As long as its also posted on her site that if she stands us up for any reason she pays us a fee, then yes id say its fair. I'd bet a wooden nickle she doesn't have that on her site tho! Sounds like you are being forced to kiss some arse so she doesnt blackball you, in the U.S we call that blackmail and I do believe it is still a crime, not to mention a pile of cowdung.

never mind

I've done what I think was right, I've got nothing more to say on the matter
