(18,421 posts)The way I stated what I did was very inappropriate. I had a very rough day yesterday... I received a rejection for a job I had interviewed for that I wanted and needed quite a bit. It isn't an excuse for how harshly I came across, but it is why it happened. I apologize for sounding unprofessional, uncivil, and disrespectful.
I have nothing but respect for you as a poster and for your opinions. On the issue you describe, I have had no contact with this person. I don't even know who they are. It would have been smart of me to ask follow up questions. I did not. And I apologize.
And, when discussing in this thread, I dropped pretenses as a host and for that I also apologize. You should be able to expect impartiality and reasoned forethought from your hosts, and I failed to do either. I do disagree with the idea of "call outs" being acceptable on DU3, perhaps to a fault. I apologize for that too.
Had I come across any of the lying that you have mentioned, I promise you that I would defend you from it in every way I possible could. That goes for all of the LGBTers and allies in this group. Never do I want to let anyone feel unsafe with or un-trusting of their hosts. I recognize that I have failed in this last night, and I will do everything in my power in the future to ensure that I don't forget these things again.
I am sorry and I regret disappointing you, the other members, and hosts.
Truly,
Fearless.
