An apology

Dear Friends,

I'd like to apologize for my actions on Monday at the Warlord's Tournament. I was *way* out of line with my actions, which included, among other things, arguing with the official, Stormi, over the score of the match (and also what I had done in the match), when my (incorrect) arguments would actually favor my opponent. What I did was not only humiliate Stormi, but I think it was a disrespect, not only to my opponent, Anubis, but to the sport
in general. And so, I implore you, the dueling community, to find some way to forgive me for my completely egregious act.

I do not know what punishment has been issued for me, and so all I ask that the punishment fit the crime; that it be neither too easy, nor too difficult to accomplish. While I shouldn't get off with just a slap on the wrist, I also believe that making me duel once a cycle just to keep my privilege to challenge would be much too harsh.

Best wishes to all involved with the dueling community.

I am so horrified about this. How could you go and do such a thing.. I know how to settle this. Off with his arms!!! I will dull the battle ax to make it so it will take more than one chop!

No, seriously though, everyone makes mistakes. Even I have made mistakes, though the instances with me are few and far between ;D. Anyhow, you realized your faults and apologized. Something many people are uncapable of. Good man. I think you have done more than enough already.

I don't know about anyone else, but I do know that I am very disturbed when an individual is told to stop 'carrying on about it' when he is attempting to apologize for something he believes he did wrong. I believe that if the man feels he needs to apologize, then we should be thankful that he has the dignity to do so. If we attempt to actively discourage individuals from apologizing for poor sportsmanship, we serve to encourage the behaviour being
apologized for.

Lorance,

You should take your own advice and stop spewing drivel that gives people more ammunition to call out what a complete moron you are to most of us.

Elijah,

Lorance,

I care nothing for your respect nor your value of my opinion, for to have such would be an insult to me. Please, never find me worthy of your favor, for I will relish that I vanguished your sorry arse from the tourney after you talked much trash about being the future of Swords. While you claim to be the future, remember that I shall endevor to be the past that bites you in the arse with a gleeful smile. The old guard will not simply allow
such as you to further tarnish what pride there is left in the these hallow rings. Tread lightly child for I will be happy to give you a clinic again in the art of making a comeback when I have spotted you a three point lead when a prize was on the line. Think again if I won't school you proper in the true art form of the way of the blade. You are a predictable lucky fool who is only a Warlord by luck and praying on lesser talent, who has
accomplished nothing to warrant such boasting and such judgements on those they dance in the rings with. You are nothing but the current whipping boy, the latest court jester for entertainment value of the masses to scorn and laugh upon as a joke to amuse us when we are bored.

And even less people that value your thoughts and opinions. And I doubt anyone respects you, also.

All I can say is you've easily made yourself more annoying that even that Methous guy from way back when.

"All I can say is you've easily made yourself more annoying that even that Methous guy from way back when."

Lorance means well, even though sometimes I disagree with what he says. Then again, I'm biased; he's always been nice to myself and my family. Hard for me to dislike someone if they don't say or do something that really ticks me off.

A long time ago I apoligized fer any insult I may have done yer. Since then we have mostly ignored each other. I would like it if yer would continue to do so and I will do the same.

Thank yer very much
