I am pleased to state that following Kisco's letter for acceptance, I too shall toss in the hat. I am writing in concern that I am truely turning a page for my future here on Furcadia. "Coexist" she writes. Wynd's right. Let's coexist as we are and keep it that way. I encourage all of you to join in my shows at Oregon Farms. I encourage anyone who wants it, to have a relationship with me.
Following: is the letter I wrote Wyndlily.

Ignorance is bliss.

I was signing up for the Jumping Extravaganza, glanced over your forums for any new stuff and... *blink* found Kisco giving you a letter of apology. Rather, a statement for common ground to be found.
I'll begin this with a hand extended and a friendly, "Hello there."
Perhaps to understand why we do the things we do (me in particularly) is to glance back to the beginning of it all. Cloudy Kisses, I think was the horse alt. I made and boarded her here at Top Rail Equestrian Center. I had to make a website and everything for her because that's what you required. Might I compliment you on how cool your dream is? Yea, o'kay you know it.
I met Ginny Putt and was friends with her for a while before a friend and I started dinking around with the dream editor ourselves. I was there when 40 some people were in the dream all trying to use the riding ds... using and abusing it. (There was some white horse and another grey one, I think trying to ride each other and you were getting pissed off because it just wasn't realistic or the sense past the OOC point.) I really respected how you ran your dream. It was orderly, neat and extremely pleasant to look at.
I made I.F.S. on a blind streak and in the process was hit twice with the troubles dream-owners face. I think saying 'I'm sorry' is lying to myself and you. I said what I said in the beginning... and I meant it. There is no perfection that comes with new dream owners, that I am now positively sure of. I'm not going to sit here and point fingers at you Wynd nor suggest anything negative.
You say I'm full of shit. Ah. I guess we all are. =/ And in a sense, yea, I am at times. I get cocky, just as I am sure you do too when you have friends standing behind you holding you up. Happens to me too? I threw back the punch that you're just jealous because my numbers were sky'high as opposed to yours. Egh... that was a little wrong to say. For you did say 'quality over quantity', I can't help but agree. I find my role-play goes best when I'm alone in an empty barn grooming my mare or washing my stallion -- (as I'm sure you can agree as well.)
How do you accept an apology from ignorance? For even at the time, ignorance is bliss. I was a shitty dream owner back at the beginning of I.F.S's days, I will openly admit to anyone you put in front of me. I got rid of I.F.S. simply because it held with it too many baggages. I gave it to Scarz who eventually was its downfall. But, I don't mind. Dreams come and go, it seems. TREC has one hell of a name behind it and I truely do respect that.
So, in essense, I guess what I'm trying to say... is that I've seen humility amongst this Community. I've seen how Kisco turns around despite such lavish words she said and found the ability to apologize. My father says that "Humility makes you human." What... the HELL was I during all of this was going on?
I, truely, don't know what you'll do with this. Burn it, post it for humiliating me, I don't know. I will be able to say though, that I tried. I want common ground. I've actually smiled the other day when you posted your sign-ups' for Oregon Farm's jumping show that's coming up (which btw, is on the 1'st of March in your calender thingy. e.e). It really did fuzz me up inside thinking that "Hey, perhaps Wyndlily... is turning the tide?"
Being a witch doesn't suit you, Wyndlily. And I'll be the first one to now stand up and punch someone's face if it be said about you. Why, just the other day, a visitor came in talking something or other of how stark TREC is or of the like. Feeling flustered as I'm trying to shed bad skin and take on new, punished their attitude for going that direction in my new dream that now discourages such behavior.
I've learned from my mistakes. You, unfortunately, were dead-smack in the middle as I was learning them and ultimately, got fired at multiple times as being overly aggressive. When now, I see, you were basically just... there. I think it'd be o'kay for me to say that, egh... I like you, Wynd. =/ There's just a lot of hurtles to jump before you'd even think about feeling the same about me I would think. (Just the kind of person I am.) I truely just like to be friends. Have that mutual ground so that if I see you at an event, I can atleast say 'hi' without thinking the negatively obvious.
I've done, said, acted a lot of ways towards you. And in the end, found that it truely doesn't pay to be an ass. I'll take what I get from you in stride. Right now, I wont worry about your friends as I'm sure they don't like me what-so-ever. This isn't for them. This is for you.
Thanks for your time, Wyndlily. I hope to hear back from you.

Quinn. I don't really know you. =/ I don't know much about you nor your standings on what all happened in the past. (I have a horrible memory.) But for whatever did happen... whatever seemed to have pissed you off, etc., I apologize and hope you'll join in my competitions for dreams' to come in the future.
Audrey and Sasha. I... don't really know you guys' either. *rubs head* To me, you seem to be at the peak next to Wyndlily. From what I can gather, each dream has a social group, per say as to whom is better friends' than the other. If not better friends, just a very tightly woven together netting of extremely good friends. It's only understandable that if you piss off one; 15 others will come back to bite. That being said; if there was anything that I said or did to upset you, instill hard feelings, I apologize... for it was never my basic intention to spray the friends with ignorance -- it was to hit Wyndlily directly.
A wish to bury long-dead skeletons. To some, it will be easier than others depending on how deeply involved you were. All I ask, in conclusion, is for acceptance. Acceptance of past bull-crap between all of us and simply put; Move On. Outside of Furcadia, I am very consciously aware of my relationships with others... what can I say about the internet? 6 years before in Chatrooms makes anyone -- a hard person.
I would like to see responses from any number of you guys'. Let's talk about it, if you have questions or immediate concerns. Let's talk through the differences if you just can't see eye-to-eye but feel it would be best if we did.
Thanks for reading.
