This is something that is not immediately apparent and also requires having a lot of patience with me, I'm well aware of that but all I ask you is to have the same patience as I have with everyone else.
This does not mean that I'm not free of being a human, I get emotional at times, angry or even feel insulted, just like you do.īut again I can assure you that regardless of how our conversations go, no matter how lengthy, controversial or argumentative they get, I do not think of you as a lesser person or treat you different unless you do so first. The same goes for chatting with me, talking to me is like talking to a mirror. Despite my best attempts i simply cannot help everyone. Some issues however remain still unfixed and are either being worked on or are simply out of my ability to fix. Some issues required making updates, some were fixable right away. Obviously you can't see what great lengths I go inworld when someone IM's me privately but I can promise that anyone has gotten as much help as I could provide. This caused confusion and started this drama, again this was not my intent and I'm sorry if it insulted innocent people.ĭespite making these mistakes and repeating some of them to various degrees I can assure you that I hold very deer to my standards and how I treat people, regardless of my opinions or world views.Īnyone who comes to me asking me for help, be it a friend, random person, even someone who does not like me, will get the same treatment, everyone will be helped to the best of my ability.Īnyone who does not believe this can see an ever increasing amount of proof every day on my Discord, in the SL Forums and here on my blog. So when I referred to "gender", what I actually meant was "sex" or the biological "gender" you were born as.
Obviously this hasn't worked out or at least not enough, innocent people still feel insulted at times and I'd like to apologize for those cases in which I have seemingly lashed out at people that were not my target.Īnother one that started this whole situation is my lack of knowledge of the English language, due to my own language (German) sporting only a single word for both "gender" and "sex", both of which are terms referring to different things in English, there has never been a differentiation between these two for me, it was never necessary because it never played any role in how I approach and treat a person. This hasn't been the first time and will certainly not be the last time this happens, over the years I have tried remedying this by describing the group of people as good as possible and attempting to make it clear when I am talking about a specific type of person or a whole community. One of these mistakes, that I keep repeating is talking about a specific part of a group of people but not making it clear enough that what was said is solely and exclusively meant for that specific group of people, making it look like I'm generalizing when I'm not. It came to my attention that I'm once again being attacked and framed by people with malicious intent for what is solely and exclusively my opinion and nothing but my personal opinion.Īn opinion which anyone is free to have, regardless of whether others agree with it or not, so is the nature of opinions, they differ.Īttacking, harassing, insulting and witch hunting because someone does not agree with your opinion or view on a specific topic is unacceptable although sometimes unavoidable, we are human after all, we get emotional and we make mistakes, this does not exclude me, I certainly made mistakes too. In the light of recent events on my Discord I feel like it is important to reiterate and clear up what I stand for, what I do and what I don't
