General Announcement, Please Read

Kay, so I just want everyone to know that from now on, the Fish is a new Fish, in that I'm now going to be nice. Polite. Kind to everyone. Never a harsh word slips from between these lips again. Snarkiness is a thing of the past. I will be all sweetness and light.

Mind you, I was never mean for the sake of being mean. Unlike others, I never yelled or hurled insults. I turned the other cheek oh so many times.

And I have tried to mend fences, sometimes successfully, with the people who seemed to have a problem with me. In future, I will endeavour to play nicely, share my toys, and refrain from being a poopyhead.

Really, I feel as though I am not the worst of the posters on here. We are all, each and every one different, with different ways of expressing ourselves. I sound angry at times. In fact, I like this site. I like most of the people here. But I am disappointed sometimes by what happens and how Admin responds. It seems each decision taken is arbitrary, no rhyme or reason, no explanations given. It's really difficult to accept certain decisions without speaking out.

Accept, though, I will. From now on, I will approach each new day here with a different attitude than before. I will be the giver of joy and bringer of harmony, maker of peace, and lover of mankind. Whatever fights break out on this forum, in no way will I be involved. You will see. I will change my ways. Cuddlefish never meant anything more seriously than every word in this post.
