Dear God I simply don't believe all this!
It's a fecking internet football forum not real life, or do people not have those any more?
This is what Scott sent to me way back on the 14th December -

Scott.
Now I read that as an apology - and said so at the time -

Scott has been big enough to have held his hand up and apologised - are we big enough to accept it?
I say yes.
Post 54 on this thread -
http://forum.boltonnuts.co.uk/t9908p30-open-letter-to-scottI can't find ANY of your subsequent posts on that thread (or anywhere else at the time) that you didn't accept that as an apology - indeed your view then was we should keep him banned because he was calling me and the site names over on BA!
Once I rubbished that by saying it really didn't bother me what names I am called, you changed your arguement to one of saying he should be banned in order to keep the sites principles.
Again once I put forward the view that a higher principle for me was one of forgiveness when a lesson had been learned, rather than a permanent punishment, your view changed that I only was bothered about the sites post count.
Now it is because Scott hasn't apologised!
Everybody's sick of all this now - me included.
If you want an apology than here, have mine - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry Scott acted like a stupid dick and had a go at you so much so he got banned.
I'm sorry that he was so immature as to carry on calling me, you and others names on an another forum.
I'm sorry that the penny finally dropped with him that he could not get back on Nuts unless he changed his ways because if it hadn't we wouldn't have been having all the shit about him returning for the last three weeks or so.
I'm sorry that you some how think I value him over you/ others/ the site/ whatever - I don't, I simply think someone had gone to far, paid the price but had just enough sense to say the right things in order to be given one last chance.
I'm sorry if you think I'm too feeble minded or to soft or weak, to want to give anyone another chance.
I'm sorry if you think I value yours and other peoples posts counts on here far, far much more than doing something I believe is the right, honest and the humane thing to do.
I'm sorry that I'm wasting my own 'real' life away trying to patch up internet feuds, disagreement, fall outs and vendettas, simply so the rest of us can carry on having a laugh and a joke on a small, meaningless internet footy site.
I'm sorry if people can't let things go.
I'm sorry if people no longer want to post on here any more simply because someone they don't like does.
I'm sorry that a bunch of grown up men who ought to know a whole lot better are behaving as they are.
I'm sorry if any/ all/ or parts of this post offends anyone.
I'm sorry if I've forgotten to appologise about anything or to anyone, that I've not already covered above.
I'm sorry, very, very sorry.
Is that good enough for everyone?
Now can we finally move on please?
