Flockky, just remember that you don't have to apologize for this. It's big of you to make the first move. In fact, let me apologize too. I'm sorry for getting too racked up on this and getting you angry. I'm sorry for making things go this way. I never meant for a chat ban to go on for this drama. The chat ban only lasts until January 3, in which I will unban you. It isn't an infinite ban. Which means that you can still go on chat after. Especially if you need a helping hand, it's nice going on and surfing a little.

Getting adminship after this still isn't impossible. Anyone can redeem themselves after a big incident. You still have my trust, and I hope you still have trust in Lefty and me. No one is perfect - Lefty and I don't have a perfect and clean record. The power of forgiveness is important. That's why the chat ban isn't a block. You can still edit and make comments on articles to keep your streak. Remember that receiving adminship is the easy part - it's keeping it and earning the trust from others that is difficult. I hope we only mature and grow as times move on - at least certainly I have. It's what got me to higher heights in six different wikis - purely by making friends (Rose, one of my best friends), getting to know other users, and contributing.

I hope that things between us are mutual - you feeling comfortable to ask me for support and me feeling comfortable to ask you support. I don't want a communist (or dictator-like, whatever) wiki where I exert power on others and abuse my rights over and over. I want to be one with the wiki. I want to have fun with all of you. That's what motivates us to log on everyday (I swear, not the badges that don't mean bleep).

"Live long and prosper" Flockky, and I hope to see you around!
