I would like to offer up my sincere apologies to anyone I may have offended by the information in the vampire post. It was not my intentions to have people remove themselves from positions because of it. I was merely attempting to educate others about myself and our kind. Please excuse anything I said that was offensive and permit me to apologize for it as well. I ask that you forgive me for my words Jason. They were not meant to offend you. Also, Brad, I would like to apologize to you as well. You all may not know what for but, he as well as a few others do. It was not my intentions to offend you in such a way. Forgive me all

Well, I think I can speak for everyone when I say, you're not the only one who got carried away with the vampire thread. Who are we to say what you are and are not. I apologize for any words spoken to suggest otherwise. That goes without saying whether I believe you are or are not a vampire. It is just an admins apology for wrong doings to a member by a member of staff. I apologize to you for having to deal with such rude behaviour and harsh words. However, as I said, we were not the only one's carried away there. I do believe that you were a tad bit pushy in a way.

So, as far as I am concerned, which by the way, goes a really long way. I see no reason for you to leave over this. If it is your desire to stay then I encourage you to stay. I cannot speak for the others but I say, Nikko, welcome to Poet Club.

Now, I post this with the confidence that none of this shall continue throughout any other posts. I am trusting you to keep straight and keep your nose clean of trouble. This is my word and "I" pray you will all support it..

Nikko,

thank you for apologising publicly, i'm sure it's appreciated by all concerned. more importantly, that you know why you are apologising.

unfortunately, i missed the whole debacle, but TJ has informed me what happened and where we stand.

i will be addressing Wickedblade666 privately to discuss his demotion, possible reinstatement to his position and consequent probation.

while we are a writing forum, and thus fully supportive of free speech, we do NOT tolerate low blows and will handle each situation as necessary. TJ and John felt that this confrontation deemed it necessary for a demotion, and i am staunch in my support for whatever decision they may make for PoetClub.

thank you for your candor, Nikko. it takes a big person to swallow pride and buffer personal conviction.
