I disagree. I owe Excel a huge apology.
I hope what happened last night has not driven him from this site. I will make no excuse for being possessive over an avatar that belongs to anyone who cares to use it, it was a massive over reaction.
My reason for this is/was because I was maudlin. It is approaching the anniversary of the death of my son. When I saw the avatar I thought wrongly, that Mics identity was being taken away too.
Like I said a massive over reaction. I'm sorry to everyone that I may have upset.
Jeza....I could be wrong but I doubt Excel will want or expect an apology from you.....
I imagine he was mortified when he realised he had upset you with no intention to do so...or to upset anyone...
Jeza - you are human, that's all. You said what you felt at the time. You have come back and explained and apologised. More than this you cannot do. Relax now. Enjoy the Bank Holiday. :0)
His avatar has disappeared so has he :( not been on since just after midnight. I'm sure he just didn't realise, he only used the pic as it just matched his post. I feel really sorry for him and hope he doesn't leave us - we would miss him. I'm sure he will accept your apology Jeza, he is such a nice person.
Excel may have taken umbrage, Jeza, but he'll be back to have a look in - suggest that anyone who sees him steers him to this message from Jeza - these things happen......
I think Excel is one of our lovelier members and I'm sure he will understand completely. Don't be too hard on yourself Jeza, we are all human and we can all over react and I'm sure he will fully empathise with what happened. Don't worry I'm sure he will be back.
