To all of you CCC members(guests and member alike), Steve, and all of Canada- Without going into every detail and without rehashing all of the details I would like issue a formal apology. It has been brought to my attention that my presence on this site has been considered by many, to be overbearing and out of control. I make it a point to NEVER to apologize for being who I am and that is not what I am here to do. However I am here to apologize if I did offend anyone in my "alter-ego's" thread posting about Canada. By no means did I intend for it to come across as seriously as it did. I have had the opportunity and PRIVILEGE to be able to spend endless hours with multiple people from all over Canada and while I realize I have pushed the envelope to far I can only hope that my personality and attitude in person did not convey the same feelings that some may think I portray. I can only hope that you accept this apology and I look forward to spending many hours with you around the resort in years to come. Secondly, It has also been brought to my attention that there has been quite a bit of talk about me behind my back through private messages and in person. I cannot convince you that are talking about me, and how much I post on here, about what the real truth is. I know what the truth is. There are others on here as well that I have expressed and consulted with about my concerns of the meaningfulness and impact of my intent while making posts about certain topics. I will say that if you find it in your heart to honestly think I am that kind of person you have never met me in person and have no idea about me. For anyone to think that I have any amount of power to sway an individuals decision making that would effect peoples vacations, for that I am sorry you feel that way. For those that feel as though I "took over" on certain topics, know that it was not my intent and although I did try to get as many involved as possible, I tried my best and I am sorry it did not live to your standards. Yes, I have made a ton of posts on here within the past year and have been, at times, a little over-excitable with the the thought of going on vacation. As many of you may have noticed, I do enjoy TTR. The break from my everyday life is more than I can ever hope to explain and/or convince you of. I know we all have stresses in out lives and look forward to our vacations. This is not a crutch that I am leaning on but rather a simple explanation as to what I am having to deal with instead of going into great details. My presence on here is what makes life much less stressful by listening to all the trip reports, and the friendly banter, jokes and even the occasional disagreements. it is nice to know there is other people out there that have the same outlook on their vacations. As I said before, I will NEVER apologize for being who I am. I know were my heart and head are at all times. It may not always come across as intended but if you are to judge me without knowing who I am off of nothing but some typing on the internet without any kind of knowledge of the emotion that went into it... I DON'T CARE! I am sorry if that is harsh but I do know who I am and I do not surround myself with people that are willing to judge others without ever truly knowing them. To all of you that have given me the opportunity to be able to talk to you in person, have a drink together and get to know me... THANK YOU!!! it is my pleasure to have been able to spend time with you. If I did or said anything while meeting you that had been offensive I can only hope that my defense would be alcohol. LOL Thanks for the good times and the honor of getting to know you! I will be making my presence on here MUCH LESS obvious. I have taken the things that have brought to my attention to heart and even though I feel right about what I say and do I do not want others to feel as though I am the cause of their vacation going wrong. Thank you all. Steve, thank you for giving us all a place to be able to vent our troubles and cheers the good times. It is for this reasoning, that I am choosing to step aside as I do not want to be the reasoning also for your business to have any sort of troubles. Thank you for everything. P.S. please do not ask as to the details of this as I would like to let this entire matter rest for the well being of everyone on here. thank you My deepest apology! Scott
Scott don't sweat it........like I said before, I know it was all in fun. It was just to retarded to be anything but a joke. We love you no worries. I am sure I have pissed off a few here in the past. Sacasm just does not transfer well here and it's not work so no email ediquette is required, so boooooooyaaaaaaaaaaah on people who can't take a joke and read between the lines with the chicken as a avitar. Hope you didn't get too much hate mail.
Considering you got your cold probably from Jodie as she was still fighting a cough while we were there, and we talked and laughed about it, we could personally care less. We knew it was a joke and a take off or spin from my version of the other thread. Don't sweat it at all, it was actually funny watching the thread go from Canada vs USA in drinking, to who parties more, and it even turned informative with other brands of booze. As for being on CCC I am just as guilty with spending a lot of time on here, and so are many others, but that is why we are regulars on here, contributing to the board for the newbies, and sharing our experiences with others, outside of shits and giggles. Shit, look at Glenn & Moniques post history, 8000+ post, without those additional comments from those two characters and the rest on here, such as Donald, Canadian Dos Equies Fan, matchandahalf, mommabear, Steve, Lions & Zebras, Jodie & I, and the many many more (I'll edit more later) this forum would be boring as hell. Some people are only on here for a week or two before their trip and a week after. Some are lurkers and some are posters. Keep up the good work. The most rewarding part of being on here I find, is complete strangers walking up to me and saying hello, "You're Lenni & Jodie on CCC, your post are funny as shit" and we've instantly made new friends during our holidays, just the same way we met you two during the morning of the cruise. Btw, as a personal note, if I am not mistaken, Scott & Kellie aka sweetchildofmine was the first to contribute $100 to the Chinos Cancer Cause after the thread went up, and also.... it had almost 300 hits without a single donation made, and Scott made a great suggestion and comment which made perfect sense and helped get the ball rolling with all the donations. Without that first donation, we might not be sitting at over $10,000.00 for our good friend Chinos. Scott you can save your apology for another day... like Sorry for taking so long to bring back my drink, when you apparently got stuck playing Jenga with Paloma lol
To Scott, and your lovely wife Kelly. I am privileged to call you friends I have met. Please don't sweat the small stuff. As we say in England today's news is next weeks chip paper - and so it is here. Sometimes jokes dont go as originally intended. Happens in life, happens online. Now shut the fuck up and get back to normal
Ya....what Steve said!! *goes back to trying to figure out wtf went on this week while we were awol* :icon_eek:
Hey Scott, we love ya! I also unintentionally rub some people here the wrong way sometimes with my dry sense of humor and incessant posting. I've had a couple of people tell me (after a few drinks) in Cancun that they didn't like me from my posts on Cancuncare, which of course hurts. But at least they also said that once they met me, they changed their minds. Better than the other way around! I'm sure it's the same with you. We can't be liked by everyone we meet in this life: the best we can do is to be true to ourselves and value the people who DO appreciate us just the way we are.
If people are annoyed enough to 'talk behind your back' that's their problem, not yours! They're the jerks in all of this. It's a FORUM. People voice opinions, crack jokes and that's ok. It's never occurred to me before to think if people are talking about individual's posts. I love reading all the fun and interesting posts on here, and log in most days. My life would be boring without it! Personally, I was worried that once the swingers sister site went up everyone would pack up on CCC and head over there instead - it's people who post a lot that keep this site going!
