Apologies
Sunday, June 11, 2006 by PoSmedley | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I would like to apologize to Wincustomize members, mods, admin’s, peers, and anyone else who may have came across the BootSkin I posted and all of the comments that followed. I would also like to apologize for any aggravation or confusion that it created, and especially any ill will it created.
I took a personal issue and made it very public to prove a point. I allowed my personal feelings to guide my actions, weather right or wrong, and created undo tension among people who didn’t even know what the issue was about. It’s only fair that since I took my issues public, that I apologize publicly.
Most importantly, I would like to apologize to Jafo for dragging this into the public’s eye and putting him on the spot. Though we have our difference of opinions, I respect his position here and all he tries to do for the site., despite what my actions may have appeared like to those who were not in the know regarding the issues that were at hand.
By doing what I did, I involved people and upset people who didn’t need to be a part of all of it. I was wrong. I apologize. I’m sorry.
To Jafo, I am sorry. I should have a found a way to reach you without dragging it into open air the way I did. I was wrong, and I am sorry.
Though it seems otherwise to some, my intent was not to publicly humiliate anyone. If it appeared that way, I am sorry. It was my fault for even doing it the way I did to begin with and I know that.
Finally, I ask that no one responds to this. It’s an apology, nothing more. Only 2 people here know the issues to their fullest depth and we are the two that must contend with them. This isn’t about sides or who was right, but admitting when you were wrong, as my actions were.

Po ....thankyou for your public comments here....
If you feel that further private communication would be of any personal benefit please don't hesitate to email.
I think I mentioned somewhere/when that we'd one day end up in a pub having a chuckle about it all......if you're ever in Oz then I'm buying....
