Why does everybody take it so hard on this guy ?
He realized what he've done wrong by HIMSELF, and he choosed to confess from his own heart.
Can you expect a better apologize?
He might have lost your respect for now, and in the near furture, but I think he will do what ever he can, to gain as much as he can back.
It was a wrong thing you did Swift, but I'm damn sure that you made the right decession by telling us, don't ever regret making such topic!!
I dont know what the admins deceide, or if they even start a discussion about this, but I know there will come a day for you, where everybody will look at you as an Argonath Hero!
Thanks for telling the truth, and hopefully good luck on your effort, for making people belive in you again.  
Don't give up!
