Ok, I don't want to speak for anyone else but after a conversation with Nathan I wanted to put this post up - and I'd like to reassure you Nathan hasn't asked me to do this so it's genuinely from me.
I know I have an abrasive personality and can be very arrogant about things I'm good at. I make no apology for that as that's me, warts and all, and I'd ask people to accept me for who I am.
However, having reread certain recent posts and the comments I've made in them in an objective way I can see that I've crossed the line from having a "character flaw" to being outright blunt, rude and a general d*ck. And for that I'd like to hand on heart apologise to everyone.
Sure I could blame "misunderstandings" on the internet in how things come across or try to take refuge in "thing got heated" or even "I'm right and I should be able to defend that" - but I think things have gotten beyond that. When I hear people are genuinely threatening to give up the game or their role as Henchmen because of me, I don't think any excuse can cut it - it's time for me to man up, look at my behaviour and apologise.
So, to everyone who's been offended, upset or p***ed off by how I've acted recently I whole heartedly apologise. I've taken it on board and intend to bear it in mind in the future. Malifaux is a game I love, and we have a fantastic community - I don't want to be the guy who screws that up.
I don't want to overdo it so I'll leave it there, but I hope this goes some way to put things straight.
