I spoke to Wormy after the whole thing on IRC, and we tried to parse out what had happened. I was under the impression that you guys were going back on your agreement to have the UN be a compromise between our two visions of what it should be and reinstating the state of affairs from the time when you created the Astral Alliance.

What I seem to have misunderstood, Wormy told me, is that this new human republic you guys are thinking of creating has little to do with existing human fiction and would be a creation in its own right.

If that's the case:
 * 1. I absolutely do not oppose it.
 * 2. I'm a f***ing idiot.

That, and I created an argument on IRC for no reason, and for that I'm very very sorry. I apologized to Wormy as well and assured him that none of my comments were meant as personal attacks.

To you I want to apologize doubly: I tend not to take things personally (ever), which means that I have difficulty anticipating when someone will take offense to what I'm saying. I realize that my comments came off as rude and insulting when they weren't supposed to: I was trying to get at a persistent problem that I've noticed, though I never assumed anyone (you, Wormy, or anyone else) was consciously responsible for it. I was simply trying to make observations about the way things are, far removed from value judgments about you or the way you do things.

Despite my criticisms, I think you are a great admin, probably better than I would be. As for your fiction, I've said this before: I think it's awesome and serves as a source of inspiration for what I can achieve with mine. I got so good at making fiction images by emulating yours.

If you no longer want to deal with me, I understand. Though I sincerely love the plot we had going, I can retcon my fiction from Cyrannus and keep my communications with you to a minimum. I just didn't want our collaboration to end on so bitter a note.
