Public Apology
Several days ago, a public call out was made about me and my former discord server, Nightshade Network, by @mama-hoops. While not every claim in that post was true, I did act badly as a leader of the Nightshade Network. I let my personal issues cloud my judgement and control my actions. I lashed out without thinking or really caring about the consequences. I was in so much pain from all the threats and harassment that I had been receiving that I wrongly felt justified in my actions.
I should never have acted out this way. And while I still maintain that I did not in any way, shape, or form negatively impact or compromise my server’s wards or security, my actions did cause unrest within the community. I apologize to those who felt anxious or worried during those times and I apologize for not telling the truth about that sooner.
I don’t expect forgiveness from those that I hurt, but I am still sorry. I am also sorry to the broader witchblr community for how I behaved. While I also maintain that this situation is not a clear cut good vs bad situation, I fully accept responsibility for my actions. I acted badly and immaturely. I did not conduct myself in a way that a leader should. I should not have threatened a libel lawsuit.
I am no longer the admin nor owner of the Nightshade Network, and I have left the server completely. The Nightshade Network now belongs to @devotion-emotion-commotion. I do not know what the future of NN will be, but it is currently an archive.
I thank those who have supported me during all of this. I thank those who gave me the opportunity to apologize. I wish even those who now hate me nothing but the best in life. I hope we can all learn and heal from this. My inbox is open if anyone would like to discuss this further and reconcile.
EDIT: Yes, you may reblog this.
