Apology

Yesterday I made a post which included this image and equated it to the Flag which Andrew would use in his rule

Posted Image

I then received this E-mail:

"Thank you very much for ruining and disrespecting what the Swastika
means and represents. The number of nationalities, religions, and belief
systems you've managed to insult are staggering in their magnitude.
Please enjoy this drop in karma as a symbol of the karma you have lost in
the world for your desecration of such a beloved symbol."

I see the error of my ways, and I take this time to educate

For thousands of years almost every race, tribe, and religion on earth has revered the Swastika, using it in a variety of shapes and styles, associating it with the hammer of Thor, the footprints of Buddha, the emblem of Shiva, Apollo, Jupiter, and even Jesus Christ.

I would like to apologize to the applicable religions for taking their symbol and defaming it by equating it to Andrew's reign of terror. My misjudgement has insulted your strong beliefs and I've turned a symbol of peace into one of mockery.

I would also like to apologize to Hitler: I know you were very evil and I know your Nazism was terrible and malicious. Your punishment should have been constant torture, a plethora of traumatic images and sounds, anything to leave an iota of the scars you inflicted upon countless numbers onto you. You should then die and be forced to an eternity in hell for your crimes where not even the Devil can show a bit of remorse as your body and mind is scorched and your existence turns into nothing but suffering and pain.

Yet associating your name with that of Andrew Welch is just going too far. I apologize to you Hitler, I have made a mistake.

I believe these apologies are sufficient in correcting my miscues and hope we can forgive me for my sins. Thank you.

You forgot to note who sent you that and whether or not they care about Avara.

The answers would be "me" and "no, I don't"

I Am Everything You Want
I Am Everything You Need

so was it you that deleted my avara weekly? And why?

Nope - that would be me.

why? It was insulting and annoyed me. That, coupled with other remarks here forced me to clean house.
Don't like it? Go to the avara.org forums and post. They would require an explanation for the picture, but then you wouldn't mind would you.

If you could actually stop and think for a moment, it might hit you like a ton of bricks.
Respectfully requsting a clue for kĄllme. He needs one.

Another witty response from Taz... Just so you know, I'm not in need of disciplining. Maybe you should let us have an Avara webboard instead of deleting everything that's not an argument against you or Ambrosia. Hey, then we would have less arguments! All I wanted to do was post some pictures of avara games and quotes ever week. What is so wrong with that?

My opinion doesn't hold very much to any of you, but Killme's got a point. He was posting Avara Weekly and pictures and stuff before I got here. It IS avara-related, a lot moreso than most of the stuff here.

This is an Avara board after all...I don't see how pictures hurt anything.

On top of that, why was my Scout-position poll taken down? I saw a similar poll posted like 3 years ago and it wasn't deleted.

------------------

too bad; this is our forum. If you're going to act like 13 year old children, frothing at the mouth, and insulting the people who are running the show, you're going to be disappointed at your reception.

If this continues, we'll simply ban you from here as well.

Have a nice day!

Andrew, Hons is right. I'm not suprised that he would get that annoyed with you when you wrongfully banned him. Hons never crashed anyone, and never would... Sphinx admitted to doing it himself... Why don't you just admit you made a mistake. I'm sure hons will stop bothering you if you treat him fairly.

It's Andrew boards, get over it.

Hons is not right; I didn't ban him so long ago when all of this transpired, yet he attacked me personally in a very immature manner, similar to what he has done here.

He is already not bothering me; he is banned on Avara, and on these web boards.

Tell you what -- as an exercise, go to your favorite restaurant when the owner is there. Proceed to slander him, hurl invectives at him, insult him, etc. Then see if you are ever allowed back in that restaurant. Ever.
