During recent events, I have reconciled with the staff I fired. Now that this mess is all over, I'd like to make a couple comments on this.

First, I don't care what happens, posting screenshots of private chat is highly disrespectful, and I hope you understand that I am upset about that regardless of all else.

Second, whatever happened to "Even if they invited me back, I never in my life want to work with the poisonous scum that are the remaining staff"? :P  It would appear you're working with the remaining staff now. :P

Third, there is another side to this story. While I recognize that what I did was hurtful and wrong, I would very much appreciate it if people didn't just listen to one side of a story and assume it must be correct. The reason no one from LMBE spoke up about what happened is that we didn't think it was our place to spread the word to everyone about why some staff were fired. If they wanted to tell people, that was up to them, even if it meant a bad reputation for LMBE.

Finally, I would like to completely disagree with the final bold paragraph. My conscience was hurt, though I tried to suppress it and at least act like I was sure of myself. I didn't use lies and paranoia as justification. I used progress as justification. You can clearly see how wrong I was about that, though. Getting my way through force regardless of the consequences? This one is somewhat true, but to explain that would take a lot more typing that I don't particularly feel like going through right now. A turn for the worse? ... By this point, this one is so multi-layered that it's almost pointless to try. :P  However, I do believe LMBE made progress because of this change. That does NOT mean I think it was the best choice, but I think that things really did improve as a result. And now, thanks to Shamrock working with Keplers, things should take off very well.

Anyway, this is a lot longer than I had anticipated. The bottom line is that I made some stupid decisions, and Keplers definitely had good reason to be upset. I find the way this whole thing went down on both sides to have been despicable. I get that you all hate me now, but please try to understand my perspective before you assume it must be wrong. I apologize for all of the trouble I've put any of you through during all of this.

Thank you,
