I would like to state, in keeping with my personal values, if I have a problem with someone, I assure each of you, I will come directly to you. If you hear or have heard something that was relayed in regards to something I have said, please contact me. I do not communicate via third parties.
I was disappointed things took on a life of their own. I was truly sorry so many people have been hurt by this and I truly don't want to see anymore casualties from this situation.
I appreciate people speaking up for me, however, I would appreciate it if no one would speak on my behalf, to another member, via PM. I believe this really causes a lot of confusion. The only exception to this would be if I have contacted you as a Moderator, to help me sort out a personal issue.
I do believe everyone within the community should be respected. I do believe each of us are individuals, unique. I do believe we can learn from each other.
I don't believe we should so casually state our feelings or views about something or someone and not expect there to be some sort of reaction or reply (especially if unsolicited). We should not be careless with our words, especially if we hurt another human being.
I want to sincerely say that if I have hurt any of you, I truly apologize. We are all a part of each other, whether we realize it or not. We are each in a different part of our journey, and I hope my words help lift others and when, and if, the time comes where someone needs to lean against any of us for support, we are there for one another.
Please do not hesitate to contact me via PM if there is anything you wish to ask me. I do not mind clarifying anything if there is still any confusing regarding this situation.
All The Best,
T.
