Merry Christmas all, here's a little story:
I was an AW refugee and migrated here, oh I dunno maybe 10 or 11 years ago. Save a few months here or there I have been pretty regular (although work has kept me away most of this year).
RTR was always a handle that people knew and respected. Respected not because I was a great stick, as I have never been that, but because I was always fair and flew to finish the fight. I was also the guy that used to help out any newbee who needed it.
Recently I have engaged in some pretty strange bbs arguments, a few of which I have intentionally started. This isn't (or wasn't ) normal for me.
I have come to realize that we all have tragedies that happen in real life, and I am not alone there. To subject the community to my personal tragedies (through attitude and interaction) and how I chose to deal with them was unfair and a poor choice on my part.
To those I have offended and to those who I have personally jousted with I offer my apology.
My family has seen the changes and interceded and for that I am eternally grateful. I feel like the old RTR is back...finally.
cheers all, hope your Christmas was as joyfull and as enlightening as mine
