User blog:SheyGrell/Regret is a very compelling thing, y'know...

So this should be an interesting little ordeal as my first ever blog/journal entry after hardly ever being here.

Hello there. In case you don't know (And I dare say a lot of you don't), I'm the writrer of Anti-Sonic.dll, a CP spin-off/sequel to Sonic.exe that's been regarded as actually pretty good. Rather than being here to boast about positive feedback, I wanted to state that so you know right away what my connection is to what I wish to speak about.

You all know about what happened to the original Sonic.exe, and what I refer to is the reactions/arguments afterwards. Many of you may know about a lot of this as well. Here's where I come in.

So there was a disagreement that happened between one FurBearingBrick & the members of staff. Now, without going into specifics here, I'll just state that there's a lot about the behaviour displayed that I always disagreed with & still do. But, this is not an opportunity to be all high & mighty & take a few detours down memory lane. However, let's talk about something that bugged the living hell out of me; The way I acted.

At first, I just let my anger roll let these people have a very errm... 'honest' piece of my mind. The thing is that there were even people who were briefly trying to be professional & even cordial, before I just ignored those attempts & kept up the same pace of anger. The result was essentially an invitation for so many other to get involved as if their say was every bit as important as that of the admins. After seeing how much of a bustling flamewar that thread became, I backed out after seeing what I started.

That was a while ago, but it's something that's stuck with me since. While I couldn't be 100% sure, I'm pretty confident that I started that whole scene. Smooth.

I've had plans to do more than one story for this site, but even if I got around to that anytime soon, I'd still feel uncomfortable submitting it here without at least mentioning all this. Yes, you could argue that is a very delayed response, but despite any reason behind my actions I regret them. To the members of staff involved; I'm sorry for what I did. I had my reasons, but it doesn't excuse how I handled it.
