Alright, I have the idea that you're coming to apologize to me too for some reason, so I'm going to beat you to the punch on this. Keep in mind that I may be very blunt in this, and if it comes across as mean, I'm sorry for that. But we need to clear some stuff up if you're going to continue being a regular user here and being active with the community.

I don't want a hollow apology. I've seen your apologies, and to be rather blunt, they lack substance. The tone you use in them is not about wanting to atone for any transgressions you've caused, but rather so you can be redeemed in that person's eyes; serving a more selfish purpose. Apologies don't work that way for me. If you wronged me, and didn't say so much as a sorry, but tried to better yourself and act better instead? I'd consider that a far more serious and meaningful apology than you just saying "Sorry" to me.

Similar to the above, this "friendship" you keep uttering to me and Ten especially... also lacks substance. You don't know us. You've been in limited contact with us for not more than maybe a month or two. You don't know anything about us. About our doings. About our pains. About our struggles. About everything important that is required in a real friendship. The same can be said for us. We don't know a thing about you either. How can you call such a hollow and baseless thing a real friendship? It's naive. So I'd like to ask that you cut that out. If you want to be our friend and really be our friend, then you work toward it. Don't just call yourself our friend out of the blue because you think we do good work on this site. We both take the idea of friend seriously, and we don't just throw that word around. If you truly wish to be considered a friend of ours, then you have to work at it and put in the effort to get to know us, and we will eventually do the same. That's how a real friendship is formed. So, as I said, stop using that "I'm your friend, and I care a lot about you", because you don't know us. At all.

That's really all I have to say. You do some pretty good work, you behave rather well at times, and all-in-all, you are slowly becoming a valuble member of this wiki. So you don't have to really worry about any punishments or anything. I hope my point is clear here.
