It has recently been brought to my attention (again) that some people are pissed about a certain website and they think I’m an ass. I don’t think anyone has changed their opinion about me… rather, I’ve just given the people who don’t care for me one more reason to bitch. Not that they needed more. Of course, this is all just hearsay… none of them have the common decency to do anything but talk behind my back.

You know, I have to grant that a lot of the things I do have a by-product of stirring up controversy. This one, however, is none of my doing. The controversy is being stirred up by other people when it could just as easily be ignored. Nevertheless, I’m still sorry.

I’m sorry that…

  • …some folks can’t appreciate a quality website.
  • …they’re all worked up over something they could just ignore
  • …some people don’t like me.
  • …some enjoy talking about people behind their backs.
  • …some hold grudges for so long, and with no good reason.
  • …they’re going to discount the site on account of the grudges.
  • …they enjoy creating mountains out of molehills.
  • …they allow my actions to effect them so greatly.

    This, of course, isn’t a comprehensive list of things that I’m sorry for. I’ve done a great many things in the course of my twenty-some-odd years that I regret… but none of them involve this site.

    If someone really has that a legitimate issue with something I’ve done, bitching and moaning to other people isn’t going to resolve it. I also believe that if you have a complaint, and don’t talk to the source of the problem, you become part of the reason that it hasn’t been fixed. So… to virtually everyone who thinks that the Unofficial Circle K site is a scourge on humanity… congratulations, you’re now a part of the problem.

    My email box is always open.

      honestly, you\’re one of my personal heros. I find you to be intellegent and funny and your devotion to CKI is an inspiration.
      People can be Assholes, and it\’s seems to be odvious that you are an asshole magnet(ie. Becky). I\’m sorry that you have to deal with that, but at least you take it in stride.
      Anyway, I plan on Joining CKI when I get to college, it\’s all your fault.

      Hehe… I don\’t think I\’m more of an asshole magnet than anyone else, I just complain more loudly and publically about it. Besides, I can\’t complain about people being jerks too much, I\’m one myself a decent bit, but I do think people ought to talk to me when they have a problem.
