Okay, I've been a Dick

My Public Apologies List:

1) Ryan North- I told you to fuck off, and in retrospect, that was wrong of me. I don’t agree with you on a lot of points, and I doubt I’ll ever be a Dinosaur comics supporter, but it’s time for me to admit I was the dick in this situation, not you. So I apologize for my public and vehement criticism of your comic, and the way I treated you yourself.

2) T Campbell- Since I left Graphic Smash, our friendship hit the skids, and it did so because of my own efforts. I took the decision you made regarding that project I was going to draw for you too personally. What you had to do couldn’t be helped, but my actions were deliberate, and to that end I see now that they were unwarranted. I know I’ve already apologized for this before, but I wouldn’t be the level of creator I am now if not for your advice and influence, so that end I can’t apologize enough.

3) The collective force behind Comixpedia- I doubt I’ll ever agree with the points made in your review of my now ended work on Saga of the Ram. It did cut me deep, and I convinced myself because I’d been a contributor to your publication, that this was a betrayal. But the truth is, I knew all along you were just doing what a publication like this supposed to do- review and assess creative works for their readers. I know not everyone is going to like my comics, that’s just not how human nature works. But I was angry at the time, and I’m the kind of person that let’s my anger get the better of me. I just want to say you’re a good group of people, and I really do respect what your publication is trying to do for webcomics as a whole.

So, why am I doing this publically? Because these were all mistakes I’d made publically. I don’t expect forgiveness, or really even want it. Over the last year I’ve made a lot of mistakes and stepped on a lot toes that didn’t deserve stepping on. In these particular instances, I was just being a big dick, and it’s time I owned up to that. Starting crap with people and holding grudges, and I speak from the experience of a rather miserable several months, it’s just not a good way to live. It’s certainly not the kind of person I wanted to be or wish to be in the future.

Kudos, dude. It takes big brass buttons to say those things. Any man can spit in the faces of other people but it takes a REAL man to come back, wipe it off that person's face and appologize.

Even if you get hot blooded, you're a good guy at heart.
