I was recently informed that I was being rude to you in the sense of 'harassing and intimidating' you in my comments based on what you said. The main issue seemed to be the way I said that I will "stubbornly stick to my views as I conclude this thread". This statement was not meant in a malicious manner nor with having any intent of being rude to you. A theme I see very repetitive in this forum is the way people phrase things that may be seen as being rude to others though it may not be seen as an impolite thing to the one who said it since this is how they converse based on where they reside in the world. This is the same for me and knowing that this is a globally used site I should have been careful to differentiate the way I chose to speak to individuals that are not from the same area as I. I've had some time to understand what it is that I may have said to cause an issue and I will further explain. The word "stubborn" is usually one of a negative understanding and makes people see an individual as being close-minded, but for me when I said I will 'stubbornly" it meant that I had "listened to your perspectives and respectfully acknowledge them yet I would choose to politely remain in my beleifs based on my own opinions". Now this is how I should have written it at the time but I wasn't really thinking to be honest, I was just so excited that someone had replied to my comments and I wanted to see how they chose to see the issue. On my wall (where the misunderstanding was first brought to my attention) I had used this example to explain what I meant there: A lot of people complained at the start of the series that Yume was getting superior treatment compared to Laura. I myself noticed that even when others had tried to explain or justify why this was the case, the main party still chose to stick to their own beliefs because they felt strongly about it. The only difference is that with me my sticking to my beliefs did not mean "I don't care what you say I'm the only one right in this issue and your opinion is poop" nor was I trying to "force my absolutely right beliefs on you and ignore what you said". I know this is a VERY LONG reply but this is how passionate I felt on the matter. If in any way you really did feel that I attacked you then I profusely apologize and I do repsect your opinions. As of now, I will make sure to think extremely hard before I make another comment that may be seen as insulting to other users. Truth be told, I like reading your comments when I come across them on the forum and I like how passionate you are when you comment.

Please have a good night and a productive day tomorrow :)
