Sheepishly I have returned to the site. I thank FAOL mge for not locking me out. Hopefully most won’t mind my return.
Following is my real apology…I just feel ill and do not feel up to retyping a message. Sorry.
But I am very glad to back on site.
Thanks everyone. Actually a bit of a stroke of good luck (for me) brought me back. I had some unfinished issues with some people…and could not communicate with them except FAOL PM. I did not have any addresses, phone number’s or public e-mails. I re-did my profile so I could communicate with them and finish business with them.
Found out I could do PM’s and that is all. I tried to post a new thread and site refused…said act disabled.
I had asked Denny to ban me and he, with class, said he saw no reason to. So I do not believe FAOL management blocked me at all. I think I did it to myself when I altered my profile. I changed my email to some smart alec thing and I think that disrupted my account. I re-did my profile just to finish business. But was on the phone with Charlaiine…and she made a post saying I wanted back, but was having difficulty. I then got an email saying I had to verify my new profile to activate my account. I did this and am apparently back on board…pun intended.
I wasn’t really going to re-up…but Charlaine happened to call me to talk. What prompted me to re-up was the posts by John Scott, Heritage Angler, and Betty…and can’t remember if others. It was 10 degrees here this morning, I don’t have a house heat stove, and have come down with a cold. Can’t remember anything anyway though huh?
But it was pure luck for me…great timing that John and Betty and HA made friendly posts. THAT is what prompted me to return. Pure luck and timing…well, and good people who chose to say something.
I consider it very good luck though…as I am glad to be back on board. I apologize sincerely for any emotional energy I created in people. I do not normally like to create negative thoughts and energy…I say normally…because sometime I do push buttons.
I think a little spice on the board is good for excitement. It comes ALIVE and has LIFE when turmoil is stirred up.
Again though I want to apologize for my behavior. I do not consider myself above everyone else. In fact the opposite. I understand a site has to have rules and all must follow the same rules and be treated equally. I was treated equally and fairly. Just ticked me off. I think the choice of words could have been a bit more diplomatic and less threatening…but what’s fair for one is fair for all.
I goofed up. I made a mistake. I paid for it. I am thankful that the FAOL site has been my crutch for the last few years. And I am thankful for those members as well as management for putting up with the likes of me all this time.
I am tired, cold, and have a cold. So I am going to try to copy this and repost it on a new thread. I just want to put on a gas mask and go get horizontal…!
Thanks Charlaine, John, HA, Betty and others.
Seriously and Sincerely
Gemrod
Never mind! It is best we leave sleeping dogs alone. Glad you are back old dog, I mean Gemrod.
