Hello everyone!
I'd like you guys to all welcome a returning player, Bev. Some of you guys know her, some of you guys don't.
Bevs depature before was addled with speculation and accusations from both sides of the table. I am going to say a few things about it, and after I'd much appreciate it being laid to rest; what is in the past is in the past, but these things need said to clear her name upon her return.
Bev is not held sourly. I'm not suspicious of her, or think she has any ill intentions. She's here by my invitation actually; I was stalker enough to track her down via email and gave the invite to come back to the board. When she left here before, it was a rather confusing time for all involved. The details aren't important, but I want to seriously say to all that she comes here now on a clean slate, and for what happened before, she has my apologies as a board owner and former staffer, and as a friend, too. I could stand on my soap box and preach about second chances, but in the end sometimes it has nothing to do with chances, but about being able to admit when things have gone off track and you're wrong, no matter how much it hurts to admit it.
So, this is me, bearing myself to all of you, and to Bev too. My invitation of her to come to the board was correlated with the inevitable acknowledgements of what happened in the past, and knowing too that I'd humble myself. It's the least I can do after all, as not only the board's owner, but as a friend.
I don't mean to be cryptic, but what happened in the past stays in the past - lets look to the future, and help the board flourish. Bev and I have talked about it, agreed to forgive and forget, and she is not coming in with the intention other than to have fun writing the characters she loves. This post was to show everyone publicly that all is forgiven and forgotten on both sides; what we need most now is great threads and good fun.
Welcome (back) to Terre d'Ange, Bev!
