I would like to apologise to anyone that has in anyway been upset about my thread “Who am I?
I started this thread as a bit of fun, I now realise with hindsight how it could come across as deceit, betrayal and could upset and cause some to question my intent.
I never knew there had been cases whereby some had been deceived this way before, if I knew then what I know now I would never have done it.
But isn’t hindsight a wonderful thing?
I have been upset at the thought of upsetting others so for that I am truly sorry.
I thought long and hard if I should just delete this profile and disappear but then that would to me be a cowards way out, I want all those who don’t know who I am to find out hopefully it will then ease their minds, I will face the consequences then whatever is thrown at me.
I have spoke to some people that said just ignore it and carry on, but I can’t knowing that others have been affected by this, it just isn’t in my nature to do that.
I can stand up for myself and be accounted for but not to the detriment of hurting others.
Well I hope we can all learn for this, I for one have!
But I would like to follow this though as I originally set out for it to be just a bit of fun.
Thanks all
I can see how some can be upset by this, but personally I wasn't. I took this as a bit of a giggle.
This has been compared to the member who made a ghost profile to write about others. That was scary in my view, but not this.
Of course, I may feel like this because I joined in when the threads said that this profile was a spoof profile and to guess who they were. I am unsure if it was always like this or not?
In the chatrooms, in a bygone era, you could change your chatname as soon as you entered the room. It was funny when I entered once and everyone had the same bloody name. Took ages to work out who was in there.......but it was fun. Even my other half changed her name (to slut-in-training) and tried to chat me up (didn't work as I did a runner cos I didn't know who the user name was).
So all in all, in my opinion, thanks for the apology but it wasn't needed

i was hurt.
Very hurt :cry: how could you do such a thing :cry:
after all this time and now i feel :cry:
i hope your pleased with yourself.
i know i am lol
I have done some daft things! I have looked make and said "Why did I do that."
If you feel that way, you meant no harm then come clean and get on with your life.

well... not au-fait with what happened and who was upset:
Why not say here who you are and have done with it.
Not need to continue any giggle or deciet. and it will put an end to anyone feeling they have to search around to see what all the fuss was about etc etc

If what Dave says is the only reason for people to become upset (and I can't think of any - p'raps I'm being dull?) then you certainly have no need to apologise.
From very early on you made it clear that you were someone else and that it was just a bit of fun. So if anyone is alluding to the ghost writing incident then they really ought not to allow their imaginations run so wild. That really is stretching it a bit.
I suppose for the poor souls who seem to want to find some conspiracy theory in everything you might consider putting a disclaimer - inviting people to guess your real name in this profile's signature.
Conspiracy theorists are generally demonstrating a lack of control in their own lives. rolleyes
I shouldn't worry about it.

Ok I will come clean it was me!
I know now how stupid it was, but we learn from mistakes, nobody gives me 10 out of 10 for brains.
I hope all are happy now and we can all move on and have fun.

I am sorry that people were upset too. I wasn't deceived first time around so my view over this has been that it was a bit of storm in a tea- cup. I am sure that those who were upset will be happy with an apology. But then again, that is just my opinion.
Edit out - because I totally misread rolp's post! redface

I got there before you sorry!
look above your thread lol
Minx, I think you may have misread the situation.
I don't think anyone was upset with that thread- I think some felt duped by the otherthread. I think it was that one that was ill thought out.
But no, I wasn't one of them- much too much real life shite to give a monkeys tbh.

I realised after what I had done and I got that thread removed once it was bought to light.
My mistake with hindsight I realise that now.
I for one was thrown into paroxisms of confused and anxious errm... something.
My world came crumbling down around my ... errr
and the ver foundatins upon which the world should have been founded were covered in uh... crumbled-world.
apple crumbled-world pie anyone?
so... all is safe and sound in the SH environs now is it?
Jolly Good.

Easily done lol
Minx I don't think you need to apologise to anyone. I didn't realise at first that it was a joke, didn't guess who you were ( can't be doing with guessing games ) but I don't think you've upset anyone.
leave that for us professionals :giggle:
i personally don't think you have done anything to apologise for it was a joke some people got it some didn' everyone has the same sense of humour. you should only apologise if you did malicioulsly and you intended to hurt people. from all your posts i certainly did not see one ounce of malice or intent. if everything we did took the feelings of other people into account we most probably would not do a lot. cos you can please all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time. so a big :therethere: from me you little minx biggrin

Thanks!
I must say out of all the guesses you were one of the people that shocked me the most. I didn't even know who you were! I still don't lol
How did you guess? :shock:
aha so i shocked you lol i did what you said i looked at what you said for clues and found them cos they were there and bingo i guessed right :smug: :giggle:

You should be in the police force, I am sure they could do with people like you! :lol:
Don't stress Minxy kiss
I do find it quite sad though if this is all it takes to upset people. Back in the old days, when the Big Black Dalek ruled the forum and memberships were free this was almost a weekly occurance, a spoof profile to have a laugh and/or take the piss out of your mates.
On a swing site in a galaxy not too far away, there is a profile for an imaginary fish, who tours the world and sends back stories (well, i think he's imaginary :shock: ), a profile for someones camping equipment that went awol at a meet and now does more munches than it's owner and a profile for a milk jug, stolen from a munch hotel. They obviously aren't real swingers rolleyes.
There must be quite a few of the 'members' on here who are just the remains of us lot messing about in the forum.
I can't see a problem as long as people know it's a spoof of some sort dunno
Minxy I worry about you sometimes hun...I really do. lol
Your thread was a joke, pure and simple and if people got upset over it, then sorry tough! :evil2:
People on here get upset about little things, and I feel you have nothing...repeat nothing to appologise for at all.
By appologising you are just pandering to people. If it was something serious then fine, but come on peeps it was a joke.
In future don't be a silly Minx. :lol: :lol:

hey that sounds fun if done only for fun not abuse
I thought it was all fun with no need for this apology. I totally agree with 777 on what he said. It seems to me the worst affected by this is you minx, and your trying to put right what was never wrong. Get over with it and move on. Your a bloody good person!

Hiyas Losty.
As far as I know and that is not much some would say, there was only one person who did not like it and aired their views.
If it was only one person, why all the fuss? dunno
Minxy you are being hard on yourself!! :shock: :shock: :shock:
You didn't do this with even an ounce of malice and I, as a Chat Op and a Moderator was aware of what you were doing from an early stage. I wouldn't have allowed you to do anything with the intention of upsetting anyone but I knew that this was just a joke to liven up the Chatroom and the Forum.
It is regretable that some people have taken it the wrong way, but your intentions were good and you really did not need to make an apology - certainly not a public aplogy.
Anyway, stop beating yourself up over it (I am aware of how upset you have been about this)and get on with being the person we know, irrespective of whatever Username you choose!! lol :lol: :lol: :lol:
kiss :kiss: :kiss:
Hehe, I think Minxy's trying to get someone to start a collection for the month's sub for the profile. wink
I'll chip in a goldfish! kiss
