[Steppes] Stupid comments

[Susan McMahill]

Welcome to the Foot in the Mouth Club....not to be confused with the Fruit of the Month Club, which is much more pleasant, and much less exclusive. As a charter member, I can assure you that you are not the first, nor will you be the last to join this (less than) illustrious group. Amongst our members, you will find those who are far higher in rank than yourself, and those far lower. All levels are welcome here and usually join us as the result of short tempers, self-righteous indignation, sheer idiocy, and too fast a finger on the 'send' key. There are, of course, thousands of other reasons....all of them excellent! 
 
As one of the people of the Barony who has sometimes been mistaken for unfriendly by others (I recently found this out) I want you to understand that this is actually a very friendly group, but some of us are (believe it or not) extremely shy outside of those people we know fairly well. If we don't see you very often at things that we are frequently at, we might not be terribly gregarious. It's that comfort zone crap, y'know. :) 
 
Anyway, welcome to the club and don't worry. As many times as I have joined and rejoined this club, I have always found folks to be forgiving and generous. You will probably beat yourself up for your faux pas, far more than the people you think are offended will.
 
Happy monday!

I understand that many people will continue to be angry with me. That's the consequences of my actions. I was not thinking when I hit the send button and I regret ever doing so. What has been done cannot be undone. I did not truly mean what I said, and I said it... I honestly don't know WHY I said it. It was stupid, and hurtful. I've sent private apologies to those that need them the most, and I'm not sure I will see soon. (Soon being practice tomorrow) I'd rather this debacle of mine be attended to sooner rather than later. I am very sorry for what I said, and even sorrier to everyone because I hurt you all. > Could someone forward this to the Elfsea list? > > -Grainne Kathleen NicPadraig MacDaniel, dropping the title of Lady because I'm not acting like one. > None is deceived but he who trusts too much.> > _________________________________________________________________> Use video conversation to talk face-to-face with Windows Live Messenger.> http://www.windowslive.com/messenger/connect_your_way.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_Refresh_messenger_video_072008> _______________________________________________> Steppes mailing list> Steppes at lists.ansteorra.org> http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/steppes-ansteorra.org
