Many pointed out that I ought to be "more polite", well I am sorry that I was not mindful of my Ps and Qs but maybe if you all had been equally mindful of your posts then I wouldn't have come across as being rude. I will take responsibility for my tone and words but can you all also take accountability for what you've said and done?
Some said that I was the reason behind lurkers not posting because I scared them?. Well, all of you at one point were lurkers - I don't think I have attacked any first time posters on this thread, after all we've all had a first post on this thread - haven't we?.
Yes, if you were a troll or exhibited troll-ish behaviour in your first post then I have been suspicious of your intentions to de-lurk - if that made lurkers uncomfortable to the point that they decided that they shouldn't post. But, I don't think I was the only one - or was I?.
Many of you took your hate against me to other SNS sites making this a personal issue but I have never once done so, several people with whom I had past disagreements are now people I speak to regularly via PM. I din't know that correcting someone on the thread made me your enemy. If it gave rise to such negative emotions in you then once again, I am sorry. There is enough negativity and hate in this world - my intention in correcting false facts was never done with a feeling of superiority. In fact people on my PM list know how uncomfortable I felt when people started calling me "Captain J ", I have never ever felt like I was better than any of you and honestly it hurts me that you all would think that I was someone like that.
Being called a "Ms. Know-it-all" yet you copied my news on your SNS sites?. I was't a good enough person for you to like but to pick up the news that I translated was good enough?. I was a horrible person but my posts and information was good?.
