Hey Brian, I just read your cancellation notice and agree with what you've said. I shit the bed. I disagree about manning up though. I responded to the first 4 or 5 comments where people started saying that I misled them, but after that it got kind of gross. In an error of judgement I deleted comments and blocked people.
I have reached out to a few members affected and apologized, things were good with them. All others I have attempted to reach out to but I've either been blocked or am being ignored. Except, the person I'm sure you saw the aforementioned comments--Simon.
Not as a huge excuse but my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer two days before, my daughter was born a few days after, and I've been under a huge amount of stress. On top of that, major depression and PTSD. I would love to make a more appropriate apology, to the community but I am blocked from the groups, and I've tried to sign up in the forums and have not gotten any authorization emails. So that leaves me without that option right now.
Regardless of what happened I want you to know that I appreciate that feedback and appreciated your past support. I honestly just wanted to do something cool for everyone and it backfired. Live and learn. Now that my daughter is born, and my mom is operational, things are better and I did see the way I acted was shitty and I get that. From now on...people are going to hate me for how nice I am if thats a thing...kill them with kindness
(thats a saying right)?
I dont expect your forgiveness, just wanted to at least try and let you know that I understand how you think of me and agree.
Vincent
