Jun. 24th, 2006 10:40 pmI'm stealing time at the moment to post this, because I'm out of town
without my laptop at a cousin-in-law's bar mitzvah. I haven't had time
to catch up on everything, being afk on Thursday and Friday because of
traveling and family commitments, among other things. I don't have any time now to read what's been posted the last few days and hardly any time to write, but I feel this is important to say.
I don't have words for how sorry I am for some of the things I said
and did, as well as some of the things I didn't say or didn't do
during this wank and during the past wanks that are referenced by it.
It has not been my intention to shunt responsibility from myself for
anything relating to gathering information about any of this. I
honestly didn't intend to imply that, and I am particularly sorry to
ari_o for the unintentional implication that I blame her or believe
she had any part in msscribe's duplicity. I emphatically do not. My
comment regarding this was written in haste and I did not fully
realize how it would be percieved.
I don't believe any of us -- including people who feel I have blamed
them -- should feel guilty for having believed the lies we were told.
At those times, discerning truth from fiction was much more difficult
than it is now, and my time was not always wholly devoted to fandom things. Hindsight is always 20/20.
I would like to specifically state that at no time did I encourage
anyone to harass or insult Sapph or Christina, and at no time did I believe her
plight was not in earnest. The posts that hurt them were taken without my approval, then with my outright disaproval as well as without my
foreknowledge. I am deeply sorry for what she suffered at the
hands of msscribe and others who felt it was justifiable to insult and hurt her.
I am sorry for any implication I may have made, in attempting to
explain myself, that I was blaming others for my actions. That was not
my intent at all; there has been a lot of cross-communication and
mis-communication in the past week or so, on my part as much as anyone's.
I'm afraid if I try to explain my actions any further, it will be read
as passing the buck or self-justification, so I am going to leave it
at that and consider the matter closed to public discussion. While I
have many people with whom I need to straighten matters in private,
any further comments regarding it on this journal will be screened
away from the public. I hope I have a chance to mend bridges instead.
