    Don't worry snowy, I forgive you for any and all trolling you've done in the past. You are proof that people can have a change of heart.

    Thank you for taking the time to comment on this. I really appreciate your words.

    Thanks man, I really appreciate these kind words today.

    I agree with this, but i feel i went a bit far with my trolling.

    Thank you, that means a lot to me.

    You have mentioned this before but I never thought you trolled that hard. I can't imagine what you could say to people to cause them to cut themselves, personally I think if anyone did that they have got problems too and are probably not very secure with themselves to begin with. Maybe I'm just not easily insulted or riled up, since I have dealt with physical bullying most my life, verbal bullying and especially online bullying hardly make me care.

    I did recently have someone troll my presentation video, with some insulting remarks that offended me. I nearly decided to delete his comment, but I have never deleted a comment before and I respect people's free speech so I just stopped responding to him and ignored any more comments he left.

    I have personally never ever in my whole life gone out of my way to try to make someone else miserable for fun. I take no joy in making other people unhappy and I have never understood people who do. Maybe since I have always been on the receiving end of such cruelty I have become more sensitive to it.

    But you saw the error of your ways and I admire you for that.

    No worries, Snowy. It sounds like you're trying to improve yourself, which I definitely can respect you for. What's done is done, and now we must move on. Here's to a brighter and happier future.

    ...I like how you said that. Pretty much took the words out of my mouth.
    Anyways...
    I also like how you said recited the Brony Oath; which also happens to be in my Sig.
    Anyways (AGAIN)
    All is forgiven. No matter what you did, it is in the past.
    You can't dwell in it forever. If you do, you'll just end up tearing yourself apart from the inside.
    Don't let people's opinions of you or your past actions affect you. You are YOU. NOT what you're PAST makes you.
    Beating yourself up over your past isn't neccesary. You can't go back. In the end, these mistakes make us stronger, and I would never turn back the clock.
    You're trolling ways are over (Mine aren't), and you're trying to redeem yourself. I'm sure, sometime, some of the people will forgive you.
    You're apologizing for something you regret, and I respect you for that.
    I'm glad you were honest and told us about this; this still doesn't change my opinion of you.
    From my experience in this Board, Snowy, you are extremely intelligent and have major potential. You have amazing ideas for many different things, and most importantly, you know right from wrong. These are the qualities of a true friend and the mark of someone who believes firmly in what is right.
    I thank you for this, Snowy. With your level of reasoning, I'm sure you'll go far in life.

    I guess I'm not only a text-wall-stealer but now I steal words out of other bronies' mouths. I better stop doing that. Stealing is wrong, y'know. :p

    As for the Brony Oath and it being in your signature. How about that? What a coincidence! Hee hee hee. :Trollestia:

    Just kidding, I knew of it before hand... er... hoof? I felt it was appropriate.

    I've been trolled so many times on a music site that I THINK is finally closing which believe me, if they ever came on here I'd be sad as some of the trolls I know of were / are seriously nasty, enough they tried to ruin my music career - Tis true

    But I'm still here :grin:

    I wouldn't worry Rain. If anyone trolls here, I'm sure the entire forum would sort them out.

    A lot of people would give up. The best way to combat trolls is to make sure any actions you take don't look like reactions to them.

    Or you could laugh and make a joke out of it. It's not fun for them to make people laugh.

    It is very noble of you to turn the other cheek and even begin to grow into part of the community after seeing that you may have been missing something as a result of ignorance.

    I don't quite understand the concept of trolling - to taunt others for personal gain or to elicit a certain reaction that is found humorous. A fad, a trend, a phase - it speaks shades of insecurity, among other things.

    A playful jest at the expense of one's feelings. When that action becomes destructive of another's well-being, it is something that cannot continue to be allowed.

    I respect your attempt at redemption and I feel whatever has been done will be forgiven - anyone who strives for a second chance should be and is deserving of one.

    Mistakes are made, no one is perfect. It is when one decides to repent for their actions and become absolved of their past ways that one can begin to recover their own sense of respect.

    Never judge a book by its cover, is the lesson we should take away from this. Thank you for being so open about these things, as it might not be the most flattering thing one can declare of themselves.
