I was muted for the last 30 hours and couldn't reply to anything or anyone here on GeekHack and all I could do was reading.
And thinking.
I decided to write what is below after reading this:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=64061.msg1502426#msg1502426Before you throw rocks, please read - like I did.
I read BunnyLake's statement on his Ctr.Alt sub forum and yes, I could totally comprehend him this time (the problem was indeed the lack of punctuation). I read JD's statements as well, but that was after I already wrote everything and I also read MOZ declarations. I was amazed from what I've read in his (MOZ) reply. That was absolutely fantastic from his part and he clearly understood all of my point of views, regarding everything that I ever spoke about.
With MOZ statements, I think that I understood how much respect should be given to JDcarpe and BunnyLake in all of the communities there are. I decided to look at both of these guys from a different perspective, because MOZ mentioned something that I'll probably never forget.
Not everybody has the patience and calm to kindly explain things, 100% of the time.Maybe that day in which BunnyLake first replied on PuLSE regarding ownership of molds, he was just having a bad day, or was too busy to give a more detailed explanation about the legends ownership. I was probably having a bad day too, or was in a bad mood and completely misunderstood his approach - at the moment. I know that they tried to explain in different ways later on (JD did a great job, since I learned a lot), but I believe that the first impression on that thread was very significant so it was kinda hard to picture Bunny and JD in a more friendly way from that day and beyond. Then, everything ran out of control and became a complete mess. We traded blows back and forth for absolutely nothing, if you pay attention. We were both speaking roughly and with anger, not really trying to understand one another and that was very bad to everyone. To both of ourselves and to this community as a whole, because we both are content creators. And as content creators, we should be spending our energies on creating amazing stuff to everybody, and not with stupid subjects.
BunnyLake mentioned that I only decide to show sincerity about my mistakes and actions when it's in my best interest to do so. But he's wrong with this one, because I'm being sincere right now and don't have any other interests besides designing beautifull keysets to all of the enthusiasts out there - in exchange of anything. Bunny also said that I've been running over the internet spreading lies and offendind him, for the last couple of
months. This is not true, why would I do that? I never spoke anything about BunnyLake, anywhere, since his last reply on PuLSE's IC.
I offended him on Reddit yesterday and the day before (I absolutely regret it), but that was all. I wasn't bullying him for the last couple of months.
We had a hard time after PuLSE and right after his last reply on PuLSE I PMd him very kindly, asking him if he could forgive me or if he could be a little more friendly to me. I even designed him a new avatar and invited him to play Counter Strike: Global Offensive, some day. He never answered.
I supposed that he was busy and I moved on. Never spoke a word about him ever since.
Sometimes, Bunny, I can't promptly comprehend what's going on but now I had some time to shut my mouth, think and decide to look at you and JD with another pair of eyeballs - which I borrowed from MOZ.
Because of that, I'd like to ask BunnyLake (one more time), the Ctrl.Alt team and jdcarpe for forgiveness.I'm very sorry for all of the bad words I said about you all as individuals, I acted in anger and with emotions, multiple times. On GeekHack and Reddit. You are not the terrible things that I said you were and my behaviour was completely childish and stupid. I hope you understand, it's going to be benefical to all of us. We've got so much energy, let's use it for the good. We three can great amazing things, everybody knows that. I'm not being humble here. Both of you deserve credit to PuLSE, yes, as you showed me the way to go. But I designed it and took hours and hours to create it, from scratch. It was a triple effort and that's why it succeed to an extreme. Also, I'm sorry if I couldn't comprehend you since my first day here. I was new and I'm still new, but I'm learning everyday. I think that after this huge hit, my behaviour needs to change - and now it's the moment.
I messed up on PuLSE but it wasn't my fault. The conditions were there and the mess just happened to be. And now I messed up big time again, but I really need to change, because I want to stay here and provide you all interesting keycaps (even though many of you will dislike'em regardless).
Please, let's be friendly with one another from today and beyond - we deserve it.Oh.
I mentioned eyeballs. And when it comes to eyeballs, the only thing I can think of when I'm in this forum is about another user's avatar, nubbinator. Our problems began quite some time ago, but I don't really now how. Maybe because I criticized his project Royal Apollo GT 10 way too hard, in the worst way that could ever be. Again, things spiraled very bad and blows were traded. He started to ignore me and never answered myself again even when I offered him some help. I also decided to look at him from another point of view. Maybe I criticized his project in a wrong way, or maybe I should've just offered help to him since I saw room for improvement. Royal Apollo failed, and I wrote a little article about it that was also misunderstood by him. I tried to spot the failures that killed the keyset, in order to succeed it next time but I shouldn't have done that in the way I did. Nubbinator probably felt exposed and attacked, which is not good.
I'd like to ask nubbinator for forgiveness too, since I've got something to him.MOZ mentioned that I should use my strenghts and well, nubb, here they are.
I completely redesigned Royal Apollo GT 10 for you yesterday and designated it as "nubbinator's Royal DSA". I'd like to ask you for permission to help you with the next round (whenever it may happen) and I believe that it will succeed next time on PMK. I polished Royal Apollo GT 10 for you and corrected some mistakes that I spotted. All of the concepts and ideas you had were kept. Legends, lines, tones and other visual aspects were tuned. We can talk about it whenever you want to, if you ever decide that you want to do so. All of the packages and mockups you idealized and need are already done and ready to be launched. I don't want absolutely nothing, it's your group buy and I just want you to succeed. Think about it.
Another thing that I realized is that I shouldn't be supporting someone that clearly has no point in this forum. K3 should be spending time creating his own designs, as I already mentioned. He can do it, but he doesn't want to. So I give up. He just want to troll and snap an opportunity to make money. He completely ignored the constructive suggestions that were made and took a lot of pride about his counterfeiting efforts on offering "different colors" on the Fake Clack thread. If you counterfeit and rub that on people face's, that's way too much. It's like Jiorgio Arnami trying to compete on a high end fashion event. If he can't identify his own mistakes, maybe he should think about what he has been doing, because it's not right. Or maybe he won't ever realize that because he just wants a couple of dollars on his pocket - which seems to be the most likely scenario. That's what I concluded about him.
I also would like to ask GeekHack for forgiveness and for another chance.I'm seeking redemption and from now on you should expect a different behaviour from this MiTo guy.
I'm not a thug.
Can we shake hands?
Thank you very much for taking some of your time to read this post.
