An Open Letter to the EverythingIcafe Community and Administration:
Hello, (again), to everybody. Several days ago I was contacted on my, (newly created), Twitter account by past posters from EverythingIcafe. Subsequently, several threads have been created and rejuvenated here at EIC supporting my possible reinstatement. I’m quite flattered that I’m still remembered after such a long banishment. I thank those that have stood by me and I certainly appreciate the friendship that has evolved over the past several years amongst these folks.
I would like to return as an active member of this community, however, I understand any hesitation on your part. I have said some incredibly offensive things and hurt plenty of feelings. I have instigated negative threads and for these things I am truly sorry. I have started new usernames here, (remember Bufford T. Justice?), and this was against forum policy. I should not have broken the rules. In no way justifying these other aliases, I don’t believe I was posting offensive posts with those usernames. I had then become aware that the administration was serious about my banishment and had only created those usernames in an effort to continue my relationship with those members that I enjoyed posting with.
My posts as OJ are hereby apologized for. Any and all that I have offended with my comments deserve a heartfelt apology. You have it. If you feel you have an issue with me personally I will be glad to respond and apologize in a more direct nature individually. Email me at OJsakila@gmail.com. I mean no harm and have no underlying agendas.
EIC is a wonderful place and hindsight is always 20/20. Regardless of what the administration decides, I want this community to know how much I appreciate this place. I’m a member of many forums on the net and a simple search of my username, (OJsakila), would yield my posts. You’ll find that they are not mean or offensive and that type of behavior is something that I’m now embarrassed of. I give you my word that I would refrain of this sort of behavior. I want to have fun and I think most people don’t mind a little spice in their daily posting, but I can clean it up. I had been “banned” numerous times but was always allowed back. I think it’s possible that I was lulled into a false sense of security and just never thought that I would be permanently banned. Well, I was wrong. They were serious, after all.
Please allow me another chance to be a contributing and entertaining part of this community. My passion for your forum is not to be underestimated. I will not let you down. I thank you for your time in allowing me this venue to make this statement. I miss you all and hope to see you all real soon.
Thank you again,
OJ
