I get that this was posted in good faith, but it's much easier said than done. I personally am willing to forgive people who made catty remarks to me or others, and to a very certain extent, I'm willing to forgive those who were involved in the destruction of my now defunct website and forums for literally no reason other than to get a rise out of me, but when I've been called the N word, had my artwork trashed openly on the forums, and certain people who were supposed to be my friends joined my abusers in laughing at my expense, I'm not willing to accept or extend olive branches so easily.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. I've literally been doxxed, blasted on 4chan, and certain members even found and called my personal cell number to throw racial and homophobic slurs, and even threaten that I "will not sleep tonight." And many of the previous forum members who did this were invited back as part of the "members you miss" thread as though they were sweet, little angels who were the light and life of this forum.
If my feelings on the matter turn me into the forum miser worthy of hatred and ridicule once again, then so be it, but I'm not about to willy-nilly forgive the people responsible for the kind of s*** I've been subject to on this forum.
