the olive branch

i'm in a bit of a conundrum and am not sure how to word this. but here goes.

i feel badly that our class is no longer complete. it's sad. it's a shame that a falling-out should occur so near the end of the year. it's also unfortunate that some facts have been confused through several people retelling several stories. it stinks that personal problems came out over the internet, but it seems only appropriate that problems that were exacerbated on the internet be brought to a close on the internet.

i don't expect comments on this post, but this is me concluding my involvement in this situation. if you're involved, please accept my sympathy that this has happened. however, please do not confuse sympathy with an acceptance of blame.

i hope that what has happened can be resolved and that some sort of reconciliation can occur. i'm open. my hand is extended. the olive branch is hanging there. its acceptance is an entirely different matter.
