There have been so many times that I had thought to reach out to you, but then didn't. I apologize for using the name of a close friend to you. Initially I thought that the person you defended was my friend too, but there have been things done to and around me that made me feel very bad (even tears at Christmastime of 2016), and she seemed to be right in the middle. I was informed of the group that I had mentioned by 2 long standing members. I simply found it sad at the time, but did not publicize their actions because I do believe that each person has a right to form relationships on and off the wiki and voice an opinion that may be critical as you did.

I have only one-on-one off wiki friendships and only belong to a couple of long standing SSHM FB groups, but neither has any association with wiki politics and slights are not spoken about at all. I would never have considered mentioning, what I believe was current canvassing, had I not felt threatened and intimidated last night by Kat's links. I have tried to be above board here, but I will continue to defend myself if need be. My email was posted to my wall and Kat replied to that with grace, so I was surprised that now it was thrown in my face.

Like me or not, Dustang, I have found your posts to be thought provoking whether I agreed with you or not. Please accept my apology for possibly hurting your friend's feelings. Unfortunately, she has hurt my feelings more than I care to share here and, unfortunately for her, the name that was reported to me by a loyal freind of mine. I totally respect your loyalty though. I believe that I am a loyal friend too, but not a perfect one. Sincerely intended - El
