My apologies to the group.

This discussion thread was locked by krispos42 (a host of the Gun Control & RKBA group).

Somebody posted an inaccurate telling of an exchange in a group I usually hang out in, and I took the bait - against my better judgement - and contributed to a derailment. I'm sorry for coming in here and getting caught up in a shit-flinging party which had nothing to do with this group, nor it's purpose.

That's choice. You followed me in here. In fact, your so-called apology is for using the gungeon to pursue your personal grudge against me.

True or not, it's pointless behavior.

This group would benefit from it's membership avoiding the kinds of drama that other groups do.

What makes this group look petty, angry, or unreasonable hurts the cause.
