Michael,

I am new to Mudcat and frankly don't understand all the implications of your apology. I have reviewed some of the less than kind posts you chose to leave anonymously. Not pretty.
But if you are truly sorry for what you did, you will have the courage to either stay or come back (as yourself) and use your talents to make amends.

Without that, you are simply laying a guilt trip on the people you hurt in the first place. - "Poor Michael is going to pay the ultimate price. He can't play here anymore." And somehow it's the fault of the people on Michael's list of marks for making him do it in the first place (by their neediness, their inferior talent, their superior talent, etc.).
SINSULL, now Mary
