Quick note: I wasn't sure what the best place to put this would be. I took an educated guess, though if the mods thing it would be better placed on a different board, feel free to move it.
I will get straight to business: Many times in the past few years, I'd been told by regulars that I had been particularly critical, yet I couldn't find out how or why, or what to do differently. I have just recently started to learn what I was doing, and now I can see that I said things in nowhere near an appropriate way.
For that, I would like to apologize profusely.
I also realize I didn't respond to criticism given to me in an appropriate way, either. I would like to apologize for that, as well.
In either case, I meant no harm, but I could not see what exactly I was doing. Again, I would like to apologize. I would like to try to mend hurts where I can, and overall I would like to be a better person.
I'm pretty sure I know what I was doing wrong, and what to do instead. It will take some practice, but I can do it. I will try my hardest to make the appropriate changes.
I do not expect you to simply take my word for it, but I ask you to let my actions speak for themselves (so to speak).
I would like to offer to do a little something as compensation if I do criticize inappropriately. Unfortunately it will have to be something small and simple, or else I may never get around to doing it. As an idea of what I could do, I'd like to offer a smiley for each time I step out of line. Not an entire set (though I may do a few expressions if I get into the fun of it), though severe or repeated infractions would mean more owed. If there is something else you'd like, feel free to suggest it. I may not be able to do every sort of request that could be thrown at me, but I'd be willing to work something out.
I will also make an effort to be a better listener. In fact, I would like to know about my weaknesses so that I may work on them, but I need help in order to see them. I would like you to let me know about them. No swearing or anything, please. I would like to become more patient and generally be a better person, but I will not tolerate abuse.
As a whole, I would like to try to become a better self. And I would like to repair relations. If you are willing, I would like your help, and your friendship. But whatever the case, I would still like to be a friend to you.
