Default An apology to the community.

Okay, I'm not one to usually make threads, but I feel that this had to be addressed. Recently, I've been the target of homophobia over my username. I will let these people remain anonymous, because singling people out is not my style. Honestly, this makes me feel unwelcome on here. You may have noticed that in my most recent posts, I've included a little signature. I realize it is annoying some of you, and I sincerely apologize. It was merely me taking a stand against these individuals and proving a point.

Those who know me should know by now that I rarely ever discuss my orientation, because I feel it is unnecessary on a forum where the main objective is to converse about video games. Anyway, the purpose of this thread is to apologize to anyone I have annoyed and to the community in general for involving you guys in my little dilemma. From now on, I will be posting normally without the use of my signature since it isn't necessary anymore.

I would also like to thank those who have been supportive. I love the community here and won't let anyone push me out.

Mods, if this thread is against the rules in any way, please feel free to lock it. But I want everyone to at least have the chance to read this. Thank you.

You're fine to me. At first I thought your signature had to do with your posts, like "I'd love that game. By the way I'm gay".

Keep the signature up, you are a kick-ass guy, and who cares if you are gay or not. Its not like people are going to drop dead seeing it.

The world is just full of close-minded people.

You shouldn't have let their homophobia get to you.

I must say man, this was really humble.

You were the one being harassed about all this, and you were humble enough to apologize for what you think you have done wrong. You are a great person.

The signature never bothered me, but you are humble to take it down because of the people who are offended by it (for some reason I'll never get). Keep being awesome.

And never let the homophobe's get to you

Oh, you're apologizing for your signature?
You can have a signature?
Hm...
It's all good.
