Formal Apology...
Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2004 9:11 pm
To all Storm2k members,
This is a formal apology for my actions a few nights ago regarding my poor and unacceptable behavior that I portrayed. For those of you unfamilliar of what happened, I will quickly summarize that night events.
I posted a message on the message board bashing NHC and their forecast because at that time I felt that they did not have it correct and I felt my forecast was more accurate and reliable. Not only did I post my own forecast, when people starting replying to my post, I replied back and kept on defending myself and became quite angry. Marshall (mf_dolphin) decided that I went too far with the NHC bashing and deleted my post. At that point, I did the dumbest thing possible. Instead of privately talking to Marshall aboout the situation and trying to reason in a smart and intelligent way, I went on and called Marshall a "moron" publicly as a new topic on the message board. As a result, I was banned from storm2k chat and the board.
Looking back on this now, I have realized I made a mistake and I didnt really mean to call Marshall what I did. I have great respect for him, and appreciate everything he has done since he has been with storm2k. I left my anger take control of me, and I take full responsibility for my actions. My behavior was not right, and not the typical person I really am in Storm2k.
I am lucky to have a second chance as Marshall has reinstitued my board and chat room rights. I am grateful to know a lot of people here at storm2k, a lot of which are my close friends as well. I thank you for all the support you have given me even through times where I have struggled in my life.
I hope everyone can accept my apology here and I do promise to react smarter and have a better behavior for now on. I hope our tropics talk in the future will be as fun and informative as it has been all this time.
Thanks,
Shawn Oberoi (Stormtrack03)
