User blog:Eleanor S. Lamb/A Formal Apology, and an Invitation to a Re-Welcoming

Dear friends, I want to formally apologize to all that I have hurt and/or annoyed. As humans our ultimate reaction to a situation is to try to adapt to it, which is essentially what I am willing to do if that makes everyone happy. @Cloptastic, thank you for showing me the errors of my ways, and for showing me that I can't handle a wiki's comment page like a blog, this was bad on my part since, according to him and my own experiences, I was dragging several aspects of my personal life into a fan made base for a game, which was entirely against the wiki's TOS, and was thusly inexcusable.

On a more sentimental and wiki oriented topic (still relating to Clop) Kate wrote this to 3DG and I think this shows what this community is all about: "Your blogs do mean something. You always tell us what you're feeling. We can adapt. That's what we do. We want everyone to feel welcomed in this community." I wholesomely agree with this as it captures the essence of our goal as a community. As most if not all of you know, bronies have a very negative stereotype, so one can only imagine the way Clop was treated on the CA forums and other websites. The atrocities he had to face must have been horrible and scarring. My guess is that deep down, Clop feels lonely, unsupported, and most of all, disconnected. At 455+ edits, and a couple of months joining before I did, Clop has achieved much over a short span of time, and for that we should thank him and re-welcome (because no one can deny when he first joined the wiki he did not get a proper welcome) him as not an alienated other-worlder, but as a fellow human being.

As a wiki editor, friend, and community member, I invite you all to please, re-welcome Clop as an official, valued member of the wiki community.

Everyone who wishes to re-welcome Clop, just say welcome in your comment.

Cheerio
