It's Been a Pleasure I'll Never Forget
I'm bad about writing long posts and will do my best to keep this one short.
What I do forget from time to time is the sarcastic side to my personality, my sense of humor. That many times offering some tips I assume the person I'm relating to knows exactly where I'm coming from. Which is not always the case. Such is the story more often than not at a place like WA where new members joining the site are literally, ....new. Fresh off the tree.
It has been brought to my attention that I have offended members here which has never been my intention. Especially with those just starting. WA is a place full of friendship and enthusiasm. I do not wish to become a road block for the motivation of anyone who chooses to become a member of this website in any way, shape or form.
To those that I did offend, you have my deepest and most sincere apologies. I am grateful to everyone here at WA and the friendships I gained being a member.
God Bless All of You,
Matt

Stick in there Jack. Do not always agree with some of what you say but that is a cultural/political thing. Your input to WA is very much appreciated from my point of view.

Thank You. To all of you for your kind words and warm thoughts. It is members like yourselves that make this community the great place that it is.
I don’t know you from Jack, but I have found you to be a sincere and honest person… a true gentleman. You provide a perspective that I often found valuable. You’ve kept me grounded while also providing motivation to press on and succeed. I believe you to be a man of faith who honors his neighbors, so much so that it has brought you to this point. Anyone reading your post can see that it was a misunderstanding and that your heart, as always, was in the right place. Stay.
Stay with us Matt. This is one member who appreciates the many contributions you have made to this community. What you refer to as sarcastic, I see as passion.
Don't let this stop you from helping people. maybe you can add more emoticons in your post and also add hahas and hehes as well as some *just kidding* and other things to let them know your intentions.
After all conveying emotion in a post (with no voice and facial expression) is much more difficult than when you talk over a phone or face to face.
Good luck with figuring this stuff out,
Cheers,
Craig
I am more than overjoyed to find a newer post by you Matt! I was really worried and I hope you decide to stay with us. I strongly believe what happened was over misunderstanding. I will say that I myself have taken comments and responses to things I've written wrong. It's so easy to do when you read the faceless representations of someone's expressions in the printed word. We, no doubt, must be so sensitive to this flaw. When we first met I didn't know where you were coming from, but then you filled in that gap and a great friendship was formed between us. It may have been a failure on your part, but we know what to do with those. They're not really failures, but lessons. Some are hard to swallow. I was very encouraged to find your post on your blog. I hope Kyle and Carson reads my words here because I, for one, would have really missed you sorely in this Membership! I've been pretty down at times and you have been right there to mend my spirit with kind and encouraging words. This is a place of learning. Better to have what happened happen here and not out there in the real world. I know that I say things sometimes that get taken the wrong way. Remember that I wiped out my entire blog when that happened. I realize the gravity of something like that. By all means Matt...stay with us! Your absence would be such a loss! --Daniel Euergetes
