Open apology and moving forward

VMB members (and observers),

I'd like to apologize for my sometimes abrasive posts. Those who know me well understand it's often an attempt at humor although I realize it doesn't always come off that way (nor is it always intended that way).

I don't hate VMB nor do I have a vendetta against the club. VMB has done many good things and has many great members. I've donated money to VMB since I often haven't been able to donate time.

I've been very discontent with many things VMB for a while now. I've often dealt with it by trolling and generally ignoring the issues.

For the past several days now I have totally avoided personal attacks and ignored many against me. I plan to continue to do so. I won't always be able to turn my sarcasm off but I'll do my best.

I am still going to be vocal in objections (and I'm sure some of you will feel I'm out of line). I will however be doing so in a totally respectful and constructive manner. Scott is right about one thing; it's easy to criticize but harder to change. I'll be doing what I can to at least propose changes that I think would be beneficial. This will obviously come with criticism of current practices but I mean it in nothing but a productive manner.

Also all further discussion threads (at least those posted by me) will be contained to the members forum.
