Ladies, gentlemen, to our game masters, and above all to Einhander,
It has been said in the past, by men far more eloquent and intelligent than the sad example who writes this message, that a person is only capable of the worst evil and injustice in the world when they act to further a cause that they feel is for the betterment of those around them. I am afraid, nay, ashamed, utterly ashamed, that I have borne this maxim out tonight to the fullest in yet another example of history repeating itself to the detriment of everyone involved.
My actions tonight, while intended only as a method to answer and silence the nagging worries that troubled a small number, were not only rash, ill-considered, and ill-conceived, but disrespectful in the highest degree towards those who have shown only friendship towards me in the past. In the light of my despicable behavior, I have decided to step away for a time -- a leave of absence, if you will, a period in which to collect myself, to find my roots and think on the mistakes I have so recklessly made. I can only hope and pray that when I return, I will be able to prove myself to this community to be a better man than the one who stepped away.
To those who I affected, especially to Einhander, I can only offer my deepest and most sincere apologies and beg for forgiveness in the light that the havoc I wrought was unintentional -- a forgiveness that I will freely admit I have neither earned nor deserve.
I wish you well.
