A Brief Word

[Roin]

So with what happened the other day, I figure I'll go ahead and apologize for everything that happened in the past. I've been more than willing to bury my hatchets recently, so I hope that this solidifies the fact I want nothing more than to forget what happened and move on. With how much I feel I can bring to the site, I'd rather just not have any of the drama and RP like I try to do. So if you still have problems with me, I encourage you to take the chance and bury the hatchets like we were asked to as well. If you don't want to, then that's fine too. I'll do me, you guys do you.

I'm not sure if this is aimed at me, but I will selfishly assume it is and hog the limelight.

As far as I'm concerned, an apology can go a long way. I think it takes a lot more nerve to hold your hands up and admit a mistake than to go on making them. While things aren't perfect between us, I think this is a step in the right direction.

However, that is not all I need to say. I think that apologies were called for, but not just from you. I need to apologise both to you, and the site, for how I acted.

For you, Roin, I acted in a manner that was vicious and unprovoked. Regardless of what feelings I had on my chest, the manner in which I chose to vent them was entirely inappropriate. In the situation, it was your cool head that ultimately led to myself grasping my sanity once again, so thank you for being the adult in that situation and not letting molehill turned mountain get any worse. I am sorry for the events of the other day, Roin.

As for the site, I think I'll go on record and say that it was an ugly side of me that I showed, and I shouldn't have forced it onto people. I'm not going to go in depth into what happened for those who weren't there, but for those who were I take responsibility and apologize for the mess that I made. Bon Voyage deserves better than that.

Now, personally, I think the fact that we've both apologized means that this matter should be moved on from. Let's chalk it up to experience for both of us, and continue working to make Bon Voyage the best place that it can be.

That being said.

This is hopefully, this situation aside, a very good year for BV. These last couple of months have brought in a mass of quality, talented new members on both the staff front and the site in general, while we ultimately aim to 'clean the place up' in regards to age old layouts and methods used religiously over the sites massive life-span. That being said, no matter how many spotlights we put on this shadow, it still seems to lurk back into conversation.

I'm gonna be frank, and regrettably to some people (No one) this is the last time I'm going to give this situation lee-way.. Or at least give you One Billion words to read.. The next time this topic in particular arises in the site, unless it has direct issue with a situation that is happening in the moment, as opposed to something in the past? I will elect to ignore it entirely. I've spent, though it does not compare to the longevity of this issue in the slightest, two entire weeks of my holiday on this specific issue, and it goes agaisnt everything I'm planning to establish here in regards to a role-playing site putting community and entertainment first.

With that said, what I'm about to debrief comes with me saying as always: I will never, and can never be so arrogant to perceive the aggravation, miscommunication, distress and mob mentality attitude which lead to crushing demoralisation of the site as a whole over months and months on this particular issue. I as a member of staff, now joint head of staff! Not a friend of Roins, long-time lover of Char or one of the oldest members of this site now still active, made this decision in light of the evidence provided and as much insight into the issue as possible. That being said.

Every single action and movement that Roin does on this site since his return, is not his attempts to make a personal attack agaisnt your willpower to dislike him, and flaunt his return to the site despite a unanimous decision. Any issue you have from here on out is your own, you can no longer pin hatred and site-wide commotion on this man, it's quite frankly embarrassing for me to witness.

I cannot re-ban this member on grounds that you perceive his actions to be wrongly executed since his return, and you cannot threaten me and the staff with your activity. I am not your partner, you cannot argue with me then give me an ultimatum, I will have a site to run whether Roin messes up again and he is banned, or you feel his efforts to make peace are so volatile to you that you have to actually drop what you're doing here, and leave because you can't fathom that on the internet you can be an adult and completely avoid this man should you so desire.

I can never, and will never, fully grasp the situation, no matter how many times people see fit to take their turn at attacking the decision. I did not make it as his friend, and a lot of people began to channel their anger and trust issues towards me because of the choice I made. I cannot further explain how futile this is, and on my terms he has returned under hopes to improve and a watchful eye, but not at any moment would I take back my actions, nor did I do any of them because of my affiliations to him.

TL;DR
Torin wants to close the book on the situation but cant do it without making it a lecture, and sounds like a bit of an asshat in the process, but means well.

There was drama and I wasn't involved? I'm offended. D:<

Anyway, proud of you guys. Seems like people have forgotten how to 'man up' and own up for their mistakes and actions without trying to justify it by the bad day they were having, work has been rough, insert whatever excuse you like. Glad to see that we're all being adults here and taking responsibility.
