In a post a few days ago, I inadvertently caused emotional harm to people I care about. If you don't know what this is about: great, good! If you do and the following is insufficient, please ping me privately.
To start: I apologize. I screwed up.
Folks harmed have created games that have, among other things, made me laugh, cry, sing, dance, prepared me for a promotion, expanded my empathy and perspective, made me a better person, man, and husband.
That what I was said was taken as not valuing that took me by shock and surprise. Those conversations have deep and abiding meaning for me. I left the thread for real world concerns, and did not reopen it as I needed to process that. I read everything.
The truth of what I was talking about is one I discovered real quick is one that my friends are vested in in a way I don't really understand, and I'd prefer to have you all as friends than to investigate the truth of the statement.
I don't have to understand it -- and may not be able to understand it -- to know that my relationships are more important to me than being right.
