Reply #92: I've had many occasions in my life to make amends for having done something wrong.

[Stinky The Clown]

This includes actions and words that I have to own.

I always saw my doing the reaching out to the one(s) I've wronged as the correct place to start. Asking them to contact me somehow seems counter to a posture of contrition - or even of sincerity.

As a matter of curiosity, why limit amnesty to certain dates? Over time, the DU LGBTQ community has been disproportionately affected by bannings, some on the dates you cite, but far more on other dates before then, and more to the point, since then. Meanwhile the members who incited a fair bit of this remain, whole and active.
