I just want to explain myself before I get run off the ML, okay??
Is that alright with you?? Hmmm?

I never *specifically* said the KTF was an Akane faction.
I admittedly thought you had to "devote" yourself to her--in other words,
consider her as fav character. Let me clerify myself on this before I send
anyone else off on a tangent against me.
Okay, as I stated in my last post, (which I know you didn't recieve when you
wrote your memo to me, but I hope you've read by now) I went to the
*website* Arnold provided for me and there it said "the Knighthood is a
group of loyal defenders of Akane Tendo", and that they are "sworn to fight
for her honor of Akane Tendo against all of her sworn enemies."
I was basing my reply to Bradster based on what I had read there, *not* the
FAQ, which I *have* read thank you, in which it says that the "KTF have
sworn to defend (or protect, forgive me that I can't remember it verbatim)
Akane's engagement to Ranma (which I have no problem with), and as a result,
Akane reself." I *mistakenly* (you know, as in *human*?) took these
statements to mean Akane had to be your favorite character. And yes I *know*
that it said the only critereia was to believe in the relationship, but I
was looking at both of my reference points and the words "value the life of
Akane above your own" stuck in my head. I'm *so* sorry for taking this a
little too (okay maybe a lot too) seriously and making the statement I did.
I'm sure everyone or at least most people on this list was a newbie at one
point, and made a mistake similar to mine somewhere in the beginning.

A very nice Arnold corrected me on these points (about Akane being fav
character) without getting too terribly defensive and upset. I then admitted
I was wrong (ironically in the very same post your flame towards me was in),
and I take back my earlier statement. Everything else you said I considered
unnessarily harsh and cruel without seeing my whole case through. You didn't
need to take the name calling that far, although I give you credit for not
cussing me outright.

I don't expect you to apolgize, hell, I don't even ask you to give me
another chance. All I'm saying is just give me credit (now or later) for
apolgizing about my totally human mistake and leave it at that. We don't
need to waste the list's space by squabbling.

Finally, I truly apologize to the rest of the list for *my* mistake. I hope
noone else feels the need to berate me tonight or tomorrow, of couse that's
the *vets* privilage to harrass at will, eh? So, okay? I stand corrected,
amended my ways, and I won't say another word about it. I'm sorry.
