It has come to my attention that many of the comments left behind by myself, aptriplett have been at times quite humorous and yet for the majority quite offensive and degrading. The greater majority of these are unexceptable and without a doubt unprofessional. While this may not be accepted by most of you, those comments were not left by me. They were placed by a friend with access to my profile and no less then quite a bit of time on their hands. Humor is a must in this world, I would agree, and while I have no doubt that the writer of this comments meant them only for the enterainment of the reader, not always the writer, they are still unexceptable. For this aquaintance of mine, I appologize. They have been restricted from the use of my profile, and I hope will no longer be leaving such disparaging comments on this or any other site. It seems that there are several authors who have expressed a disire to leave the site. Please do not do so. There are fools and idiots and buffooons aplenty in this world. True writers and those with a creativity come with less frequency. Dare I saw we are a dying breed. Our extinction is a unexceptable recourse for our feelings. Do not take such comments so sensitively. Focus your attentions on those that offer something productive and of value in their critisism. I do not know all your names, I was only on this site for a short time to post my story "Chained". The reins were taken from me shortly thereafter. I do like hamburgers but a story about them? My friend is better suited for Jay Leno or perhaps something more like Mad TV. Imagination without restraint, a dangerous allowance but all must be allowed their gifts and direction. I may allow him to leave comments on occasion, he seems to think of things the normal person does not, or at least he voices such things. However, and I do promise that they will be humorous only in the kindest way. Unfortunitely, because of this, they will be infrequent. My appologizes to those who seem to appluad this friend of mine. I will close this letter, with again the sincxerest of apologizes for the comments left and agian encourage you all to please continue your writings.

Sincerely, aptriplett
