My Apology to the Entire Membership
DIR By: AntacidObject66
Date: August 21, 2014, 7:20 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
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.

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.
