I apologize 100% for my previous KF thread.

Since Bone locked the thread JUST as I was going to post this, let me just completely, sincerely and utterly apologize for most of what I said in that thread.
It only happened because jumped to conclusions. The KF intro screen says it's a "resource for Knoxville and the gothic community", and I interpreted that to mean the whole community, not just a hand-picked group.
I posted before I had all the facts, and ended up sounding a lot more insulting than I should have. I assumed it was a situation where people apply and then get approved. I didn't find any link or text on the main page which directly addressed the issue.
The people who get pissed at me are often the very ones I don't want to get pissed at me, so obviously in this crowd I'm going to have to suppress aspects of my personality which are valued in other crowds.
Again, sorry. And for God's sake, don't delete this thread, I'm trying to have a genuine apologetic moment here. If "getting along" is the goal, allow me the chance to recant my stupid words.
Every one of us types things into a computer sometimes that we don't mean. It happens all the time. And every one of us reads someone else's words and interprets them in a much more negative way than they were intended.
