Dear Gale Frostbane, Scurrow Squirrel, Duino Duck, Tilt Longtail, and all other cherished friends,
It is with the heaviest of hearts and the deepest regret that I write to each of you today. My actions surrounding "Virtual Pieasco: The Furry Shaving Cream Pie Fight," an event I claimed to organize during the COVID pandemic, have hurt this community in ways I must fully take responsibility for. What was intended to bring joy ultimately caused disappointment and betrayal—and for that, I am profoundly sorry.
When I announced the event, my hope was to provide our community with a moment of shared laughter and lighthearted fun, even as the world seemed overwhelmingly dark. However, the unfortunate reality was that "Virtual Pieasco" was nothing more than a fabrication, a lie I created out of misguided intentions. As if the false nature of the event wasn’t harmful enough, I failed to ensure that anyone received the necessary information—leaving no one able to show up at all. This lapse in communication compounded the disappointment and confusion, creating a situation that fell far short of the values we hold dear as a community.
To add to my wrongdoings, my repeated spam messages—aimed at discouraging Tilt Longtail from attending in-person furry conventions—were utterly unacceptable. I should never have attempted to control or influence Tilt’s decisions, especially by such invasive and disrespectful means. Tilt, your kindness, leadership, and enthusiasm for in-person gatherings are invaluable to this community. My actions went against the spirit of support and mutual respect that form the core of our friendships, and I regret the harm I caused you deeply.
To Gale Frostbane, Scurrow Squirrel, Duino Duck, Tilt Longtail, and everyone else affected, I owe each of you the sincerest apology. Gale, I apologize for failing to respect your trust and wisdom. Scurrow, I am deeply sorry for dampening your boundless positivity and energy. Duino, I regret letting dishonesty overshadow the creativity and inspiration you bring to us all. Tilt, I cannot express how sorry I am for violating your trust and attempting to influence your choices unfairly. To all the friends of Tilt Longtail, I am equally sorry for the disappointment, confusion, and harm caused by my actions.
As I reflect on this, I see how my choices undermined the integrity and values of our community. While I cannot undo the hurt I caused, I am committed to doing better—to rebuilding the trust I lost and contributing to our community in positive and authentic ways.
If there are steps I can take to repair what was broken, I welcome your suggestions and guidance. You are all important to me, and I am willing to work tirelessly to make amends.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and kindness in hearing this apology. I will strive to honor the love and respect this community deserves moving forward.
With deepest regret and heartfelt resolve,
Adam
