The previous entry has been deleted...

...to be fair to the person concerned, who has corrected the problem it highlighted. Since it had also drawn some thoughtful comments from old and new friends, I have saved it to my personal memories. (That is, everyone who has written in, you have not wasted your time.)

I don't think you should rush ahead with hope. If you are betting your shirt on reconciliation, I should take the shirt back and put it in a locked cupboard.

I'm not betting my shirt, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I know you're a magnanimous person, and I also know that Gun is really sorry for what she said.

Hmmm... I will delete this, I'm afraid. Not because I'm offended or anything, but because I think there is something wrong about you taking on yourself to speak for Gun. I will remember what you said, however.

No problem.

It's taken me a little while to getting back officially to you with my now-taken-time-to-cool-down-and-stop-freaking-over-health-woez.

First, good on you for getting the debt cleared. Hopefully it'll ease some of your stresses.

I said a lot of stuff that was far too heated last week, and for that I apologise. I need to say in all honesty that I didn't appreciate having my personal issues aired as an excuse for what happened last week, if only because I never use them to excuse my own actions and I don't believe they should be used to excuse anybody else's. I may be younger than you, and I may have had my problems, but it certainly doesn't influence what I say or do, or the validity of what I say and do, and without trying to be rude I found a little of your excuse post a bit patronising of me.

I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself, and to be honest there isn't as much 'widespread hostility' toward me as one might think. I understand you were in a difficult situation last week, as was I.

I won't be refriending you, but you're no longer banned at my LJ, and if you'd like to make any posts (that aren't inflammatory) you are more than welcome to and maybe I will assess the refriending situation as we go along. I know that you genuinely are a decent person with a lot of great traits, but I truly think that things got a bit too vicious last week from all sides. If you'd like people to see the person I got to know, you've got to show all your best sides. Your angriest side is not your best one, btw.

Best wishes, and hopefully your lousy-ass telco will sort itself out.
