My Apology

[nephilim]

I have written an email to the higher mods regarding what Im about to say

It took an hour a few shots and half a pack of cigarettes (yes I smoked for the first time in almost a year)

I asked myself the question
would I want to be involved in a group like the one I helped make the answer was no

I have let my overzealous feelings of the group affect my judgment. I dont want this to be so controlled that people are afraid of posting.

I will make this a public forum again and will invite the people that were removed back with my sincere apologies!!

I also apologize to each and everyone of you for putting up with me!!

as we continue forward Ill make decisions based on your input and will leverage the mods as much as possible.

thanks
neph

It takes a big man to apologize in such a public way Neph. Kudos to you for that!

Unfortunately, Mini_art quit the group about 30 minutes before you posted this message, and will not be able to read it. Can you send a PM?

And, thank you for all that you do.

 

[Sallana]

Thank you Neph.

 

[haole boy]

Thank you Neph.

 

[BiancaMontgomery]

Please don't smoke anymore. (((Neph)))

Neph, I don't think there are many people that could have taken all that was thrown your way and not react to it the way you did. It's been heartbreaking for all the mods and it's hard not to get angry by the seemingly uncaring actions of a few. I hope the group will be more supportive and help you make PIF the loving group it can be.

Glad to hear it Neph! But, one man does not a group make. If you need help, ask for it.
I'd hate to see the PIF ignored by the members..too good an idea to go to waste.

And put down the smokes or we're coming over there..you'll be able to recognize us, we'll be in a BIG PIF envelope that's been marked 'do NOT return to sender'

OK, im back... WTH!!! How is it I never seen or heard of a Maine ..... If i would have seen one in RL, i woulda thought someone domesticated a Mountain Lion!

 

[GoodDog]

I think Bianca has one that needs a new home.

 

[glowgirl]

I don't know what all happened. I just wanted to say it takes a big person to apologize and be willing to change. So Neph you have my respect for that. Very cool.

 

[rosesense]

I don't know the half of it either but I think it is wonderful what you are doing, Neph. And stop smoking, nothing is worth that!

 

[tiburonfirst]

neph, we're with you

just remember, you can't force people to be good, so ease up and enjoy!!!

and no more cigarettes!!!!!!!!

Will admit I'm already kinda scared of PIF. Hope I don't have to be from this point forward. I just don't want to deal with the drama, just want to offer things and be offered things, nothing more.

I can tell you for certain that you really don't have to be scared here - i've only been here a few days and i can tell you for certain that the people here are the nicest, most caring and generous folks i've ever met. it's just a shame that the rest of the world isn't like the people in this group.

i believe the drama was just a 1-off because the burdens of keeping things running smoothly just built up and a fair issue got blown out of proportion. it happens, the moderators are mere mortals like us

Not sure exactly what happened with the PIF but it takes a Big person to make an apology like this. Good deal.

That said, you Can't start drinking and smoking analogs when you run into a bump in the road. You going to have things like this happen again. Everyone does. But you can't turn to analogs!

Vape 38mg juice till you head is swimming. Ride your bike for 10 miles. Make a long post about wanting to smoke but don't strike the match on that first one.

Now throw the rest of that pack away and get back to what you know is better for you.
