A public apology.

[Vulcan Stev]

Recently I took a concept on Twitter and turned into something that the particpants found fun. However the person this was all based on did not find it fun.

Berin, you have my profound apology. This was never meant to upset or anger you.

The Cult of the Bear has been formally disbanded.

stop it... (heeheehooheehee) ... yer killin' me! (wahahahahahaha...)

[Vulcan Stev]

Congress isn't intentionally funny. We, the Progressive Paladins of King Berin the First strive for the intentional joke.

[Charlie]

So that makes us... Progress.

[Charlie]

And the reasons I like hangin' out here continue to increase. I can think of nowhere else where one can see friendship, moral fiber, genuine apologies and damned funny dialog... all in one thread. :)

You're a sloth, Sloth, that "minute" was a week for the rest of us.

[Xose Lucero]

Wait, someone took something too far and I wasn't involved? Dang it, I only dozed off for a minute.

[Andrew Modro]

We sometimes get a bit... overzealous, is all.

[Andrew Modro]

In the end I think no harm was done. We are the Paladins and our King understands us and our admiration.

As the silly bastard who started it all, I can't apoligize for doing something I had no indication wasn't endorsed. But for what it's worth, if Berin had approached me and asked me to cut it out I would have done the same thing without hesitation.

As it stands I've learned something interesting about the characters of all involved, and I think Berin is a deeply humble guy who deserves all the success life throws his way and you guys Stev and Hank are stand-up and fun guys yourself. For what it's worth it was fun while it lasted, and I hope no one's feelings are hurt and no bridges are burned.

[Hank Harwell]

I'm sorry for my participation as well. I took it as more of a fan-based Twitter thing, and certainly not as means of having fun at anyone's expense.

Peccavi.
