Apology to LRRS

The director of LRRS has asked me to post a public apology, which you will see below.
-------------------------


Hi Don/Jerry,

As you know, back in August I had an altercation with Chris Cramer in the media center over some scoring results. Heated words were spoken and he fined me $100 which I chose to ignore.

At the time, I did not know his name was Chris Cramer nor that he was even an LRRS official, but that does not change the matter.

It was wrong for bring my attitude into the media center like that and in an attempt to stave off disaster, I had a sitdown talk with Don H, Chris C, Steve A. and Dan F. about what the issue was about and to calmly try to resolve it. We concluded our meeting but no changes had been made. I left that day in protest and spoke harsh words about the organization as well as both of you, purely out of spite and anger. That too was wrong, and I apologize.

When I discovered that a t-shirt was sold at an LRRS event proclaiming the hate for me and purchased by an LRRS official (and sold by an LRRS official and board member), it further angered me and I again lashed out on the internet.

Afterwards, this matter escalated into a giant circus of hatred, with me dishing out anger, but not helped by attacks by Chris Cramer and BJ Shredder.

Since then, I have been quiet except to answer simple questions posted by new riders or to provide helpful information, only to be attacked again without provocation.

A few days ago Peter K made a post asking every one to stop commenting. That prompted a few more heated responses and then I read his open letter to NEAR. Peter has taken a lot of criticism for trying to help me and it made me realize how far the situation has gone and that being right about some thing doesn’t mean you aren’t responsible for what happens.

So, here I'm am, offering to take responsibility for the entire mess. I apologize that it had ever occurred and truly wish none if had taken place. I hope these words are taken to heart.

Adam

 

sounds like an excuse...not an apology.

 

that being right about some thing doesn’t mean you aren’t responsible for what happens.

This should be fun......:up:

 

a half assed apology for sure.

 

more lame than John Rocker's........:down:

 

For those of you too busy to read Adam's apology here's the Readers Digest Condensed version:

Everything I did and said was right. Everything everyone else did and said was wrong. In spite of this I regret the entire incident.
:tut: :tut: :tut:

 

The first half looked like it was really going to be an apology. It also looks like it was written by someone else. The bottom half looks more like good old Adam.

 

i love it.

 

I'll grab some quick before it's all gone.

 

I don't know about the rest of you but I tend to think that if a LRRS official or officials really did this, that's pretty messed up.

 

Or it means they got seriously tired of the bs they have to put up with.

 

Does this mean I no longer have to wear the "special" set of leathers at STT events?

 

I should have listened to the little voice in my head saying......

"Don't post this you IDIOT!!"

 

What is a LRRS?

 

Loudon Roadracing Series. CCS affiliated club that kicked webcrush out.

 

Dan was a freak with some entertainment value. Webcrush just hurts my head.:down:

 

But Everone has feelings and I certainly would not want someones children or wife to have to see that being worn by someone and suffer the humiliation and/or shame resulting from it.

The statement on the shirt is a very personal attack on not just the Subject but his family as well and that's not funny. I belive it shows a incredible lack of maturity and unprofessionalism of the part of the members of managemnt from LRRS who were involved in it.

BTW, I'm not defending the actions of anyone involved. I just think the shirt thing crossed a line that should not have been crossed.

That little voice is screaming at me now..... I better listen!
