Y'all, this is gonna sound weird, but here goes:

So I used this site a long time ago, and I was very immature on here. I used anonymity as an excuse to be rude. I know that most of the people that used this site when I did probably aren't on here anymore, but if you were and I offended you in any way, I sincerely apologize. I also specifically apologize for my homophobic comments on the Newsgathering thread a while back. It makes me so sick to think of some of the things I said then.

I am a very different person now than I was then, and I hope that my time on this site didn't hurt anyone too badly, I know that people were hurt. And I'm sorry.

Hi, I remember you from a long while ago. I can't speak for really anyone, but I only have fond memories of this place and I'd like to think the forums are happy enough that anything negative is outweighed. Probably most people you and I interacted with have moved on, it's so long in the past.

Good to see you're moving on as well, and I also wish the best for the people you've directed your post to.

I actually got redirected to the Newsgathering thread, where I did indeed find your comment.

People do things they don't want to remember. There will always be something you look back, five years later, and ask yourself, "what the <censored> was I thinking?" Although I do feel a bit disgusted by what your comment said, it doesn't really matter. To become a more tolerant person, by itself, is something miraculous and is probably something we should all aspire to do.

It's nice to see that the world isn't inherently intolerant.

Welcome back, even if briefly - though hopefully not, the wiki needs some work.

Is that all it takes? "Homophobic" clearly no longer has any real meaning anymore...

What did you expect? A visit to the church, "Forgive me Father, for I have sinned?" Twenty years of labor in the Siberian gulag? Not defending his/her comments, (I have several friends who have different gender identities, and I will physically fight anyone who disrespects them for their gender), but I appreciate what he/she has done. The fact that he/she recognized their past and acknowledged it as wrong is already impressive to me - most people's egos wouldn't allow that in a thousand years. We shouldn't hold all edgy teens responsible for what they say.

Oh, clearly my rant can across wrong - sorry. I was saying that what I could see of the posts wasn't homophobic in any meaningful sense of the word.

Hmm, From what I could see it wasn't outright homophobic, but that, too could be subject to interpretation. Sorry, your comment was a bit ambiguous :D
