A Really Bad One
Everything was going so well and then I had to go and create a blog that ruined everything. I should have asked for opinions first before going ahead with the blog. I did ask on chat later when I had an issue over adding tags to the blog and realized that what I had written may well cause me problems. Truly, nothing was further away from my mind than to offend or make waves on WA, but I did and for this I truly apologize.
I truly thank @RICH for alerting me to the fact that my blog may have meant so many things to others or may have been interpreted the wrong way (which it had) and truly, I do not know any other way of amending my mistake than to honestly and truly say that I'm very sorry for my oversight and that I should have known better. I'm neither a guru nor a scammer (I don't even know what the words really mean).
All I was asking was for one or two people on WA to endorse me on a freelance writing site without realizing that the request would have been so wrong for having so many connotations. I'm truly sorry!

Hi Paul. I don't know what the post was about, but I just wanted to say do not be too hard on yourself. When you are new to something, you will make mistakes.
Heck, you should have seen some mistakes I have made-I have wanted to hide under the rug for a while :P
Take Care :)
Hey Paul. It's absolutely fine. I promise you no-one here holds an honest mistake against anyone else. It happens. To me. Frequently! :) Oh, and sometimes other Members can get hold of the "wrong end of the stick" too. You've apologised. No-one will remember anything about it this time tomorrow. You asked my opinion in chat and after a year here and normally being able to say instantly if something actually breaks the rules or the "spirit" of them, I told you I wasn't able to make my own judgement call on yours as to whether it was "acceptable". It was an honest request and so "borderline", it's why I suggested you'd have to refer it to Kyle or Carson for a "definitive" decision. Forget it. OK, I'm moving on.... nothing to see here... :) Rich.
Thanks Lightstorm. Yes you couldn't find it as I've deleted it from the site to avoid more confusion. Very distraught over it but I think I,ll get over it in a month. Its the way we are in this watery part of the world. We truly feel bad when we offend people, especially when we don't know that we've offended them. Cheers
I have no idea what your blog was about. I really appreciate how conscientious you are, though. That says a lot about you!
Thank you John and Angel. Your positive responses are like dew on parched soil. I truly feel a lot better knowing that I'm forgiven and am now able to forge ahead (carefully this time) on my website.
Jeeze paul. Dont be silly! Dont let this knock your confidence. Im just like you. I dont understand either. Look, I know im going to make mistakes. Thats how we learn. I dont think anyone is going to jump all over you because you got swept up in the excitement thinking that you were sharing something good with us. Rich as usual to the rescue . Was able to explain. No harm done. I saw your blog. And if its any consolation. In my ignorance..., I still dont understand lol. Your a lovely person. Keep going . Judy
You have apologized so now you can get on with your activities. Don't let one mistake stop you from moving ahead. John
