I just want to say sorry to Anno and Ythan
    #13382322 - 10/24/10 08:34 PM (13 years, 6 months ago)

I just wanted to get this off my chest.

A couple of years ago when Shroomery commercialized a bit, so to say, I was kind of an ass. I was all up in the free software, wiki this and wiki that philosophy, and I got pissed at one point when you introduced restrictions to non-paying users, unblockable ads etc. I guess I went a bit over my head calling you faggots or something like that, I don't really remember the details, but I definitely overreacted.

The past few years I've been mostly away from the Shroomery, but this time has given me a bit of a perspective. This place is a lively ganglium of internet mycelium, it brings like-minded people together and provides them with essential information etc. etc.

It might have something to do with the fact that I was born and lived in communism until the age of 7, or with me being a hippy back in high school or whatever. But you guys have managed to make this place work, to keep it alive and thriving and that is what matters.

I don't want to be the know-it-all know-it-better asshole, I may act like one, but I don't know shit about anything. It's not just about me judging you, It's about me being wrong in my judgement.

I've been drinking wine, so to keep it short, I'm sorry. You were right and I was wrong. And I respect you for making timely and smart decisions.

Long live the Shroomery! Keep up the good work and please accept me back as your long lost son. I come in peace and drunk humility.

good to see ya around ivi :tongue:
i have quite the same point of view sometimes but i recently started understanding why it is important to invest in the things that do you good, and sadly most of the time the way to invest is money :shrug:

if i'm to become a good therapist people need to pay me for my efforts, it's just the way it is, i need this energy in my life (money) and if i won't get it the people that i am working with will not get us much out of the treatment!

:thumbup:

Hey thanks a lot for that, it's nice to see an apology on the internet once in a while. But it's totally fine, I didn't even remember I was supposed to be mad at you. :lol: I try and keep my shit list pretty short. Now Anno on the other hand, you're going to have to do some serious penance to get back in his good graces. :grin:

But yeah welcome back, it's all good. :cheers:

I was involved in that particular drama. I got so hot over it I asked to be permanently deleted. I got banned but not deleted. That was a good thing because I am glad I wasn't deleted. The other good thing was Ythan actually paid attention to the outrage and dropped some of the more stringent policies (some kind of punishment for having adblock installed, which was, in my still current opinion, unacceptable). As a response I bought a supporter account for a year.

Those were the days, for sure. Interestingly enough, immediately prior to reading this post I was pontificating on the fact that Ythan is the reason this site succeeds (no doubt the membership is a major requirement). I considered how the Shroomery would be if Ythan stepped down (again) and I would  suppose it would go down the tubes FAST. There's really no forum admin on the entire interwebs quite like that guy.

Thanks for keeping this site consistently awesome over the years.

Well, if you offer it as proof that edible, medicinal, hallucinogenic, difficult, toxic, deadly and useless species can all "fruit off" on the same pile, I suppose that is very true!
