Many of you know of the recent events involving me and my campaign against scottw's freeipods "research". If you don't, then you needn't bother reading this. If you have, I hope you continue on.
Consider this my public apology. I jumped to the conclusion that scottw had removed my thread promoting my site to help with the freeipods requirements since it disappeared right before scottw's initial announcement that he was trying to do a freeipod deal himself. The coincidence was just too obvious (so I thought) and assumed that scottw was doing me some great injustice.
Not being the type of person to roll over and play dead I essentially bombarded his post with tales of my interpretation of what happened which basically brought havoc to his thread. On top of that, sometime yesterday that thread was removed (along with all my comments) and replaced with the "site announcement" you see at the top of the forums now.
Obviously this enraged me even more. Regardless, this morning I read my personal messages to discover that my thread removal was not done at the hand of scottw, but another moderator.
So now, I have nothing left but to extend my apologies to scottw and anyone else I offended or misled by my postings. I won't offer excuses, except to say I screwed up.
I'm sorry.
