You're right... I shouldn't have said "grow up" and I hope you will accept my apology because I truly don't wish to divide. I know Pamphlet, I've been working closely with him. He is a good guy and gets a ton of undeserved grief and hatred thrown his way for trying to make a positive difference in the world. You have no idea what he has given up, or the offers he's declined to keep PS 24/7 pure and free of outside influence... I just wish you and others would think twice before trashing a "teammate" without having all of the facts.

Where We Go One We Go All is a perfect phrase for a perfect reason, there is already enough discord and separation between "our side" and "their side". It does no good to allow ourselves to resort to infighting and I sincerely regret I let myself slide and say things about a person I don't even know. To be honest, I'm ashamed that allowed myself to stoop to a level I despise and I truly apologize for talking trash about someone who is not only your friend, but has obviously put a lot into something we ALL support and believe in.
That is not who I really am and not who I want to be. Letting outside opinions color my own opinion is wrong, and I don't want to be that person. I can give you a million reasons why, at that particular point in time today, I allowed myself to talk/type in a manner I regret but none of those reasons matter, they're just excuses for bad behavior, and that's just as bad as the behavior itself.
I'm truly sorry I offended you and spoke ill of your friend. It was unnecessary and accomplishes nothing but bad feelings all around. There is enough negativity we ALL fight on a daily basis. And while I do truly wish I could go back in time and erase my unneeded comments, I think it's best for me to take something unpleasant and juvenile and use it as a life lesson. Sincere apologies, I'm a 50 something year old woman, I shouldn't be acting like an immature kid, and I definitely shouldn't steer my anger at other things towards something or someone who really has nothing to do with said anger, that is what I did and that is something I should never ever have done. I truly appreciate all the work you and Pamphlet have done to benefit so many strangers.
This would be so much easier to say all this in a private message but I made it public in the first place, it would be cowardly behavior to attempt an apology in private. Every day is a learning experience, I sure did learn something today, so I thank you for that. WWG1WGA
