       My Apology to the Entire Membership
   DIR By: AntacidObject66

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Hello to all of you. I would like to take a moment of your time
       to personally address each and every one of you.
       The last couple of weeks have been a little.....tumultuous, to
       say the least. Most recently, and this is the matter I wish to
       address, has been the upset regarding Tinkabeast.
       I do not know how much of what happened you have been made aware
       of, but I will try to explain as best as I can. A report came to
       me that Tink had signed on with another clan. It is one we have
       had some issues with in the past, and had caused a rift within
       our ranks early on in our organization. But, that has all been
       water under the bridge, and many of the friendships that were
       formed before this happened have remained. Tink took some time
       away from WoT before we moved over here. When he came back and
       re-signed on here, he was welcomed with open arms and no
       questions. We have been most pleased to have him back, and
       thought that all was good.
       When I unexpectedly was told that he had signed on with the
       other group, I was shocked. I reacted rashly and rather harshly.
       I did not stop to double check the facts. For this, and for any
       fallout that has occurred as a result, I do sincerely apologize
       to all of you, but most especially I would like to apologize to
       Tinkabeast. I was wrong in my actions the other morning.
       Straight up. My bad. I don't know if it was too little sleep or
       what.
       I am not making excuses here. There are none. I made a huge
       mistake. One I can only hope will not be irrepairable. I ask
       only that if you can you try to forgive me, and accept that I
       truly do regret how things went down. I also promise that in the
       future I will not act or react to any situation in the same
       manner. Of this, you have my word. I apologize sincerely for
       having disappointed you all.
       Please know and understand that in everything I do, I try to do
       what I think is in the best interest of our group. I want us to
       be strong, healthy and happy. I am deeply grateful that each of
       you has chosen to make this your home away from home. I have
       made some mistakes along the way, and will likely make more,
       being mere mortal and all. But I assure you, I will do
       everything I can to make sure that a mistake of this magnitude
       never happens again. I am sorry.
       Thank you for your time,
       Sincerely,
       Kim

       We were told by the ihm thst tink had joined them. As we have
       had many members leave without actually saying anything to
       anyone so its not unknown to happen. It was a mistake and we
       apologize for the misinformation/misunderstanding.

       The best thing we can do when we make mistakes is learn from
       them and move on. Thank you for admitting the error and facing
       it head on. It is always best to remember what happens when we
       assume. We can only get better when mistakes are made.

       We all make mistakes.  You've made it right in my book.

       Mistakes will happen. We learn from those mistakes and move on.
       The fact that you came forward and are trying to make it right
       is one of the reasons I'm glad I'm part of this clan.

       I have no line of sight to what happen but I do know this.
       Anyone that can articulate such an obviously sincere apology,
       without seeking any place to make excuses, but just stated the
       facts, and saying they regret it happened, is a person that I
       have much more admiration for than the person who never made a
       mistake.
       I hope all is well with all parties involved and I hope Tinka is
       still with our group.
       As for Antacid, what you just displayed is a thing called
       character....hats off to you, you are always forgiven!

       Sorry I was kinda sleepy when I first read your Post Kim, No
       worries here. Shit happens, at times we all over react to
       protect what is precious to us.

       Antacid,
       Very sincerely and heartfelt said, we cannot ask anymore of you
       than honesty and integrity both of which you have delivered in
       huge quantities... thank you.  :salute:
       I have never been in a clan before, and I must admit the last
       few weeks have been head spinning, and that is being involved
       from the outside, and not from inside the hurricane as you and
       the board have been. How can so many people who only want to
       have fun and share their time to kill reds become so political,
       we are all equals, why is it that at times grown adults go back
       to kindergarten. I personally thank you for all you have done
       for us, unselfishly with no expectation of return other than
       lots of smoldering red tank hulls twinkling like night stars on
       the ground...  :palm: okay I will never make it as a poet I
       know.
       To err is human, to forgive... divine - WOW that is one evil
       looking angel :shocked:

       Antacid, that post took a bigger pair than most of us with a
       pair could muster.
       It certainly earned my respect and I hope the obviously
       heartfelt sincerity strikes the right note with all concerned.
