I would like to say I'm sorry for telling member to shut up. I have been rude at times but I have been provoked every time with unjust and rude comments.

Non of my subjects were offensive and yet people found them to be. This is because members have not read them properly which is wrong on their part and not mine. But I shouldn't tell them to shut up.

I was told my comment about the ' stigma ' was an insult to other men in the profession which is unfair and insulting to me.

I am not a troll but a professional balloon artist who wishes to use this forum and get the respect I would have given if those members had given me the same respect.

I admit I have been rude when replying to comments but those comments have been rude and have clearly known that those members have not understood my posts.

if you post a reply to a comment a member makes you should at least read it correctly so unfair replies are not given.

I know I'm telling members off here but this is also a sorry from me.

Thank you Graham for a GREAT WEBSITE and for ALL THEE FREE SERVICES you provide.

Looking forward to you posting the photos of your work Daniel.

welcome to the site.............

I think you make a fair point and agree:)

I have been told that this is not an apology which I must disagree with. I am sorry for being rude to members when they have been rude to me. I'm sorry for telling members to shut up when they have been rude to me.

I have no right to be rude to anyone even if I was provoked. I should be more professional
and for that I am sorry.

Hello Daniel
At the risk of playing with fire I would like to say something.  I feel its a shame that you are not enjoying your experience with balloonchat and would like to suggest something.  Take a deep breath, Imagine all the negative posts are in there and blow them out.  Now take a new breat........

Put all this behind and look forward.  Lets just forget all this.  Take a positive step forward.  How about posting a picture or two and joining in with everyone.  You will find that as soon as you become a positive member of this forum people will be positive back.  Honestly we are not a bad bunch of people.  By the nature of our work or hobby one reason we like balloons is because we enjoy interacting with people.  We enjoy the positives.  The smile a balloon brings and the opening it brings to chat to people.  Its a nice hobby for those who are hobbyists and a nice way to earn a living for those who have taken this on as a profession or include it as part of their act.  So please don't take my message here the wrong way.  It is not a critisizm. Its an invitation.  Forget the bad start, post some balloons and join in the positive side of this forum.  If you do so you will be very welcome indeed.
