Apology

A page in the diary "Hopeful"
Written by spinner 26. May 2008 03:22 PM

Hi all,

It has been a couple of weeks since I wrote a diary entry. I am going to start by saying sorry to those who I may have attacked because of their comments.

The thing that I love about this site is that we have empathy for what one another are going through, and if you guys can't be honest with me and straight to the point, then noone will ever be able to. I did make a poor judgement error with trying to drink my 'blues' away, and I will freely admit it was a mistake.

I guess this is just all part of the healing process. We have to take a step backwards to take two steps forwards. Still I had no right to lash out the way I did, and I am really sorry.

I appreciate everyones comments and support.

Mrs. Studying, I too have been unimpressed with the comments that have been left on your diary by the rogue. We couldn't possibly take this person seriously can we?? Its pretty funny to think that someone gets enjoyment out of trying to take someone else down. It just shows you the lack of character this person has. Also, if this person had any real courage like the rest of us on here, they would at least not delete their profile and face up to whatever their issue is with you.

We don't all have to like one another in this world and if you do have a problem with someone, at least come forward and show a little integrity. If you can't at least do that, then 'rogue person': you are just a waste of space.

I am a little more tolerant these days to some of the negatives that go on in here, because we all have our bad days. When this happens, it is really hard to not take things personally, and think that everyone is against us.

I know I certainly didn't mean to have a go at anyone a few weeks back, and having now been on the offensive and not actually mean to attack people, I have an understanding as to why some people get so easily fired up on here.

At the end of the day, none of us 'genuine' people on here mean to do anyone harm. I know I certainly don't.

Thankyou

Thank you so much for your support with my rogue person. It is great that someone is able to but my thoughts into words and you have done that perfectly.

Go Spinner!!!

PS Not sure what you are apologising for but you have not upset me - in fact you just said perfectly what I have been trying to say about the rogue.

Hi spinner,

Your last diary entries didn't affect me in the slightest, so no need to apologise.

I just hope you're getting on OK, it is very much a case of 1 step forward, 2 steps back sometimes. I know that dance very well.

Hope you're in a reasonably good place at the moment.

It takes great courage to apologise for anything... thank you... even though I didn't take your comments on board... you have nothing to apologise for... it is good you expressed what was on your mind and what you were feeling... so you are in touch with yourself and that is a good thing...

take care
