It's been almost two weeks since the great Vegas escape and debacle and I've been doing a lot of thinking.
My actions and reactions to a persons post really went a little too far. I know that now. At the time, I was really upset and angry at several people's decisions to try and ruin a great night for me and the people I was with. And then to see a posting made, full of absolute lies, and other people I thought were me friends feeding into this -- I just snapped. People who know me "for real" know that I am usually a very calm, friendly and outgoing person. To be called a "bitch" and other chosen names when they didn't know me at all, I felt, was just completely unfair and not justified. But, the rest of the people on here who weren't at the show and didn't see the actual fall-out were affected, and for that I am sorry. I never brought up names during my initial review, I never went into detail about it until this person felt the need to concoct lies in order to make me feel badly.
I am not writing this in order to appease anyone, but to clear the air and hopefully move past all this because it has been weighing on my mind for awhile. I even confronted Judy with the idea of my just leaving the board, if that is what she would want. Not asking for sympathy, but to reduce the drama that unfolded. I've noticed some cold shoulders but the people I've made friends with and know that the posts weren't made out of hate, but frustration have stood by me and to them I say thank you because things like this really point out who true friends are.
So to those I may have offended with the last few posts over the past few weeks, I am sorry. As for my opinions on other things, those I can't apologize for because like someone said, everyone has opinions like they have elbows.
"Am I sorry for the things that I said? Yes. Am I sorry that I spoke out? No."

That was very big of you, Ang.
