Goose Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Dearest Sir or Madame, We at The Commonwealth are a group of self-absorbed jerks. In our quest for mockery and merriment, we often forget about the other person's feelings. It has been brought to our attention that our tireless mockery of you and yours has upset you, and for this we are truly apologetic. Whether joking about your handsomeness, invading your sovereign IRC territory, or making light of your alliance's failures, we did not realize that we had passed beyond lighthearted fun and moved into the territory of the complete douchebag. While I can guarantee neither that it will stop, nor get even worse (we're just so terrible at everything), we will make every effort to make our due apologies when needed in a timely, sincere, and satisfactory manner. Best regards my handsome friend, Goose Head of State for The Commonwealth P.S. Before anyone asks, I'm totally sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
