Apology (47)

I am writing this note to Bella, aka Wild Orchid. Please accept this apology for my comment last night. I went far and beyond what i normally do and take back what i said. While i feel at times you are trying to get me going, i know better than to take it too far.

Happy New Year

Darren aka Pucks

Wow! What a heartfelt and sincere public apology Darren. The part that left me especially weepy, was where you blame Orchid for causing you to take it "too far". I know you will react to me commenting but if you didn't want comment, I am sure you would have apologized privately to Orchid via Email. No?


A Tear Escapes

Don't I get an apology?

Well that was nice of you Darren to apoligize! :o) Although I think you should have told her that privatly :o)

Well, if you argue with someone in public - you should apologize to them in public - so it would make sense what Pucks did! At least he apologize.

There had been a couple people on CS, who had been very rude to me, and never apologize for it!!! It takes a lot of guts to apologize in public...you know, letting everyone know that you were wrong...Pucks, I give you credit!

I have to give this one to you Pucks Perhaps you just didn't know anymore...we did have a debate on...in mail or in public once...not sure if he wanted to be pointed at about it again...so like Tafini said...public is ok since it was from what I understood done publicly...


now...just want to add I have no clue what he's apologizing about and please no details!!! don't need to...but I think it was nice...perhaps worded a bit differently as I feel you still attacked her in a subtle way...but the point is you did apologize.

Well Darren as some of the other members have also noted…. How strange that you should offer an apology to me publicly when you could have done it privately.

Now.. I know for a fact that your email works ~ because I received your childish and threatening email the same night you posted your vile comments to me.

I would have taken your apology into consideration if you had contacted me privately via email ~ however, I know that the real reason you have done it publicly is because you want to look like the goldenboy.

The fact that the CS moderators found your posting to me, to be disturbing enough to have it removed.. does not make you look very good...now does it? I wish more people had seen the depths to which you sunk, before it was removed. So now.. you think that making a public apology under the guise of being sincere and regretful for your actions towards me, will re-instate your image as being the nice guy, and forever the victim.

So to be perfectly clear.. I reject your apology based on the fact it was put forth with self serving, ulterior motives in mind.

I have nothing more to say to you publicly, or privately.

It would be in your best interest not to pursue this.

not trying to fool anyone. i made a comment to you on a public forum, which i shouldnt have. So i followed by making a public apology on this forum.

If you dont accept my apology i am content with that. I have done what i can to move on. I wont cry a river about it but i will take responsiblity for a comment that i made. This is all i can do.

Your still pissed about Gibs obviously and that is your perogative. You made nasty comments yourself about Gibs by starting a mean spirited thread about him. He forgave you eventually. Maybe someday you will forgive me. Dont really care if you do though. I certainly wont lose any sleep over it. See you in the forums Wild Orchid.

Cheers, Darren

Well Bella,

You "spoke your mind" to Darren, but then have told him that you have nothing more to say to him publicly or privately. You told him that it would be in his best interest not to pursue this. So it seems to me that you have closed the door. Would you accept a private apology from Darren now?

In a more perfect world, if Darren had made the comments to you both publicly and privately, then he should apologize both publicly and privately. He did apologize publically - which isn't the easiest thing to do. Are you open to a private apology from Darren?
