First off I would like to publicly apologize to Jude. I do that more
for Jude than I do for me. I killed my emotions a long time ago, so
sometimes it's hard to remember that everyone else still feels them.
I think the reason I picked Jude and the particular time was that if I
did it I wouldn't really be attacking anything. Jude didn't have
anything on the webpage, I have no doubt that at some point there will
be many interesting additions to the Lego community and I wouldn't
dare attack those. As far as the rant on my site I saw myself doing
mostly the same thing. Attacking what I considered to be the worst
designs. That doesn't make it right either, but I felt that some
right may come of it in one form or another. I mean to me a person
could attack the Behemoth on my site and I wouldn't mind. Why?
Because it's vastly incomplete, needs to be redesigned to look
smoother, more fluid, and there are a lot of ideas that can still be
integrated into it. And actually I haven't even done anything to the
interior yet. To me attacking something that is unfinished isn't
really attacking anything. I know others disagree with me on that and
I know that my opinions have the ability to hurt feelings. Again, I
am sorry for that, I do not want to cause hurt feelings. However I am
not sorry for what my actions caused. Yes I was rude, yes I was
brash, yes I was opinionated, what did it bring? A closer look at
yourselves. I'm not going to lie to you, many people do not see me as
a nice person, I try to get people to think differently and sometimes
my methods are very fringe. Did I deserve to get banned? In your
minds I'd have to say yes. I think that perhaps I hit a little too
close to home...in fact I think I hit it right on. I knew what such
an action could bring, it was my choice, I have to face the
consequences for it. Ask yourselves this though, did you want me
banned because I attacked Jude, or did you want me banned because of
my harsh opinions?

| One thing that I would like to add is that if my posting privileges are reinstated I will only post updates about my webpage, nothing else. And only updates that do not undermine the harmony and sanctity of Lugnet and it's users. -Matthew (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
