Well now that the smoke has cleared, now that everything has sorta died down. I really fell like I need to voice my feelings on the whole matter. When I posted my original blog post, I wasn’t in the clearest of mind frames. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I’m giving in and accepting the apology, but as I said, I just feel the need to voice feelings on the whole situation. Not just this one conversation.
When I left MyBB, I thought I was on good terms. I wanted to keep in contact with the friends I thought I made. I wanted nothing to change, it wasn’t suppose to turn out this way. However once it became public that I joined another bulletin board, I was pretty much treated like a traitor. Yes, I wasn’t at MyBB anymore, but does that really justify that treatment? I was pretty much told I was a lair and that I didn’t have the “guts” to give the real reason why I left. Trust me, it gets worse, but I won’t even touch that. Now does that really sound fair? I have made it pretty clear I left because I wasn’t feeling the project anymore. It had nothing to do with iBB. MyBB and I simply grew apart, is that really so hard to believe? For some people it’s pretty obvious that is too simple of a reason. Why is that? I simply don’t know.
What really annoys to no end is my- yes MY- character and reputation were being not only questioned, but bashed publicly. I’m sorry, but just because I’m not at MyBB doesn’t make me any less of a honest or trustworthy person. I most certainly don’t steal code and am floored at that notion. People want to call me names and swear at me, go for it, but don’t EVER, EVER call me a thief. That is just not true and just shows you have a lack of respect for me. In the apology letter, what got me was the excuse, “I’ve been under a lot of stress personally and professionally.” Can you really justify what was said about me with that? Heck can you even justify it at all? Now if he had said something like, “I’m really sorry for what I said, it was completely uncalled for and I didn’t think it all thru. Words truly can not express how sorry I truly am.” Maybe I would of been inclined to accept it right then and there, but it didn’t strike me as very sincere. I felt like if I didn’t post my original blog post I wouldn’t of gotten that email in the first place.
Maybe I’m just being petty, but that’s how I feel.
