The Bottom Line Bottom Line? I'm a dumbass, and a shitty friend...
Hello everyone, off-topic as it is, I could care less about ratings on this one. This is my final editorial/review/submission to Epinions, and I don't care how it's rated. I just want everyone to read it. Recently I made a mistake. A BIG one. On a dare from one of my friends (beacause I mentioned I could make a more convincing AMM than animemoviemanx[some other imposter]), I created a mutliple account posing as the infamous AnimeMovieMan. I wrote an editorial basically doing everything AMM ever did; bash a few members, idiotically calling them 'vile', etc. Nothing worse than anything AMM has ever said before. Then I slipped and it became known I had done it. The result is a bad conversation with Xeno on AIM, and an incredibly guilty feeling in the gut of my stomach. I want to take this editorial to apologize. To everyone. Xeno (Although I know she could care less), David.C, Wretchedpyro, and anybody else I had mentioned in it. I honestly meant no hostility, and while Xeno's convinced that all of this is venting the inner hatred for these people, it isn't. Not in the least. These members are great friends. They've helped me become better writers, and they've stuck through it with me through tough times, and we've had a lot of fun together. I value so many Epinionator's friendship, it's almost sad. And I hate that I lost so much of it because of a stupid thing like this. It was an awful thing to do, to drag my friend's names through mud because of a stupid dare. And I know I've said it before, and I'll say it again even though it doesn't help: I'm so sorry for it all. I don't plan on sticking around. I've pretty much screwed myself at Epinions now. I've deleted/deleting my reviews, sending an email to Epinions resigning as Advisor, and I reported myself for this whole fiasco, just to make sure. I'm hoping that you guys can forgive me. I understand and wouldn't even be surprised if you didn't, because you have every right to be mad at me. I seriously messed up, and there's nothing I can do to remedy it. I can't think of anything else to do except just go away. So I will. I know people will just be saying 'good riddance,' but there's some people in particular I have to thank: Chris_billings, for being my first friend at Epinions, helping me become an advisor in the first place and being a great friend during my time at Epinions. 32_footsteps & Slusy, for being great buds on the net and even during this whole thing, still refusing to believe I had done it. I can't even begin to express how much that means to me. Kenshin-Guy & Sparkfan77, who were on my side for the whole thing and continuously tried to make me feel better and bring up my mood and actions and help. Cartman_2k, one of my later friends at Epinions, but one of my best. Also, for the initial reaction you gave when I said I was leaving. And despite it all, Xeno3998 for being a great AIM buddy, a great fellow Games writer, an entertaining person, and just overall a great friend until I screwed everything up. I'm not even scratching the surface. God, I'm not putting my finger on SO many names right now. Anybody who supported me, helped me through anything, rated my work, trusted me, everyone: Thank you for everything. The good times, the reviews, the friendship, everything. Perhaps our ships will bump in the internet night some other time. -Marty Barnier Orestes84 Think I'm overreacting? No, I just take friendship seriously. And I can't believe I risked it for a stupid dare. And THAT'S the bottom line.  |
