@Snappo has been kind enough to point out that I behaved less than respectfully towards some FC members in regards to the unfolding of Cory's true colours in this thread.
I had a chat to him and he suggested that I just share the convo we had, but I would also like to address some members individually down the page a bit.
snappo: I feel that you were most insensitive to @ syrupy ' s plight as expressed at length on the Cory Glass thread. So long as you were at peace with Cory's lax business practices, so should it be for syrupy and others. And there you have it. Peace!
me:
Thanks, I was a prick wasn't I..
Not as if it's an excuse but at that time I was becoming immersed in FC to an unhealthy level during me and my ex-partner's recent breakup. I had nowhere else to turn and neglected councelling options, I spent a lot of time ordering things and being depressed and volatile on the internet. I lost my partner and daughter as my life lost stability, so if that's any form of Karma then I don't know what is..
I was insensitive and I appologyse to you that you had to be exposed to such indecency, and thanks for reminding me that I never formally messaged syrupy and let him know that my heart was not in the right place and that I wasn't proud of it.
You're a good man, thanks Snappo.
snappo: I'm glad that this exchange has had a positive effect for you. It was my ultimate intention. Perhaps you will be so kind as to comment on the thread something to that effect.
Very kind of you to let me know that for my own betterment, and so that I can react better to such things in the future.
I've also said this to
@syrupy , hopefully he understands. Also syrupy if you plan on replying; feel free to respond in this thread or via pm, whatever you are comfortable with.
"Hey syrupy, sorry I was such a piece of shit to you in regards to the CGD debacle. I could try to explain, but there is no excuse. No circumstance can take blame for my insensitivity, I take responsibility for the fact that I was a prick towards you and I hope you understand that my heart was not in the right place and that I was very off-balance and childish at the time of the unfolding of Cory's true colors.
I should have sent this a while ago, but neglected to do so; so I also appologyse for not giving you the respect you deserved much earlier.
I like your posts here on the forum and I am sorry to try and put you down over what was essentially me defending my ego; scared to feel like a failure after blindly putting my trust in someone who I shouldn't have trusted for a second."
@blankrider I even stepped on your toes, sorry to be a douche bag towards you when you pointed out my blind ignorance and single-minded attitude towards the fucked up waiting process that Cory put loyal customers through..
@MuushuPork
I should have had your back and been a brother to you when you shared your opinion about Cory's poor communication skills and your frustration towards it all. I understood what you meant but refused to knowledge it, and this was very un-integral of me. It wont happen again, my friend
To all others whom shared their feelings about Cory's practices, dissected and speculated his motives, and all who shared opinions about glass blowers & business owners in general who were most likely shut down or rebutted by my ignorance, I also extend an apology to you all. I was intentionally being a smartass and being suggestively argumentative because that is what I do sometimes by mistake. Those times when I act this way; I am not in touch with my higher self. I aim to minimize these occurrences because I do respect and love you all.
Thanks for all contributing to an open and friendly forum where an appology like this does not feel out of place. I know positivity is welcomed here so thank you all for allowing me to settle something that I was not proud of. I should not have defended Cory to such an extent.
