I would say either dont write to home addys or just own it... People like honesty and saying you are sorry sounds pathetic and fake.

Exactly what I tried and failed to say. I don't think my letter is bothering them as otherwise they'd never open it would they?

I agree... If u are actually sorry u would leave them alone lol Own it or dont bother...gains more respect in the end if u are honest.

If you are really sorry you wouldnt send to their private addy in the first place lol I have only wrote to one home addy and i didnt apoligize because if i was actually sorry i wouldnt have written...sounds phoney to say sorry and guess what i got my items back signed too...

Yeah it doesn't bother me, pretty much stopped moderating when Ian left.

Sorry to hear about that. The forums are not what they used to be any way.

n did you lose your mod status?

I still mod this forum. But I lost my global mod status when i accidently deleted the old ufc thread when I meant to just lock it. There was fighting galore in the thread and I kept warning I was gonna lock it. When the time came I wasnt paying much attention and clicked the wrong tab. When I finally noticed it was too late. Admin demoted me for months for it. But he gave me back the mod status but took my ornge color away. I have asked him why but never got an answer. So if you ever find out why, I would love to know. LOL

Oh. I've lost all my mod powers without being told, but still have the orange name and access to the mod forum. But can't move/lock/delete anything these days. :neutral:

I've only written PA once, to Stephen Chbosky... I wrote a really long letter (about 4 A4 pages) explaining how much I liked his work and how much it had meant to me etc. (which it did, and does). And by starting the letter off by saying "Sorry to bother you but here is my life story sign my stuff", I thought that he would think oh I'm just writing for an autograph (which I wasn't I really do love Stephen Chbosky's work)


I don't know, I think it's a matter of who the person is. But still, I don't think I would apologise at the beginning of a letter. If they don't want to read it, then they will throw it in the bin without even opening it. If they wanted to read their fanmail, then it wouldn't bother them, would it?


I've only done private once though so.. yeah. And I'm relatively new to the scene so.............................................
take my words how you will
