I'm really glad LONELYGIRL15 is back. It's been heartening to see the successful viewing figures and all the old hands and handles returning to the chat room and the forums. I'm especially grateful because I'm hoping that I can apologize to everyone.
When LG15 was at its height, I was a very active participant on the board and in the chat room and in Anchor Cove. I am sorry to say that I was suffering from a number of untreated mental illnesses and psychological shortcomings as well as numerous defects of character, empathy and integrity.
As a result, I treated people badly. I was abusive, dismissive, crude, rude and grossly inappropriate with others for triggering personal insecurities that were no one's problem but my own or for the crime of having opinions and tastes different from mine.
Cut to now: I've had a lot of psychotherapy and workshops on my behaviour and social skills since then. I'm as weird as ever, but I am no longer out to hurt people or take every opportunity to be upset or offended and I am ashamed and embarrassed by my past behaviour in this community.
I apologize completely and totally to neonlivgiraffe, SNL, modelmotion, ThaBeave, Chelsey, TheColorfulSwirl, Eleven, Jenni Powell, heyaja, CdnMatt, greggers, bex, Jessica Lee Rose, Becki Kregoski, Dejajeva and likely many, many more people whom I upset due to my abysmal conduct.
I think LONELYJOURNAL15 was an attempt to give something back, to show how I really felt about the fans and the show but couldn't express appropriately or properly back then due to my deficiencies.
Those days are behind me and I hope we can all start over just as LG15 is starting over, and if there's anything I can do to make the past right, please let me know here or in PM.
I feel worst about SNL whom I attacked constantly because he had the fairly innocuous preference of liking Order-oriented storylines. It troubles me especially because of his youth at the time.
I'm so sorry. None of that will happen again. |
