Greetings,
The longer you wait to remedy a past mistake, the more its story is retold and the myth of its vileness is allowed to grow. I let this issue fester for three decades, without realising the proportions by which it had grown. This myth is what I now must make up for, rather than the initial mistake. Let this be a start.
Guild of Knights, I am sorry for my past public critique, nearly all both dumb and unfounded.
Three decades ago I wrote, here on public (For reference: #21613), a text involving several personal insults at Ser Aerek. We had our conflicts, but my words were unjust and untrue. For this I apologise.
In the same post I criticise knights fighting and the defense of vines in an unfair way - a conflict I have switched sides in, but that nonetheless remains an open debate for both sides. I specifically jabbed at members of the Guild in this post. For this I apologise.
Ending the post, I made a mockery of the very essence of Knighthood, chivalry. I do not stand for what I said back then. I deeply apologise for the attack this was at the Guild.
I reacted poorly upon being laughed out of the Guild of Knights prior to this. As I am now, a lot but not always, a Jester, I must appreciate the scene I made. I apologise for taking offense.
A few years after this, I again voiced critique or questions upon the Guild based on a tournament between Knights and Dragons (For reference: #21658). The question about Knights and Classes might have been slightly relevant at the time however my demand upon the Guild to formulate a definition of themselves, something that they already had, was unjust of me and not a demand I were in place to make. For this too I apologise.
A few responses were made to the above, and I did do a final post in (For reference: #21661) where I personaly insult Ser Aerek and Sir Aodfionn. I had no cause to and I was incorrect in many things. For this too I apologise to both Ser Aerek and Sir Aodfionn.
Finally, I wore the title of "Knight Apostle" for a while, in spite of and without being part of the Guild. For this too I apologise.
I express merely a wish: that any member of the Knights Guild that are blinded by past actions so they cannot see the man I am today - challenge me, by word, deed, or sword. Voice your concerns or let them fall from our memories.
