Over the past month or so, it has become increasingly clear to me that my complaints, views/opinions, jokes, and interjections are only leading to a bigger rift between me and the rest of the members.  As of now I withdraw all comments/posts that I have put on this forum.  I do not withdraw them from personal shame, or out of apology to those that my posts may have offended.  I do it as an apology to all those in my squadron.  I take some credit for building the squad, but I take all  responsibility for causing any dissatisfaction that may be felt by other members of this website towards the squadron.  As XO, it is my job to lead through example.  This implies that only the very best should come out of me, and that the worst should never see the light of a gaming day.  I'm sure some of you may be thinking, "It's not the squad I dont like; it's you."  Well, to that I say, I have a VF-143 sig, and in that sig it says XO, and that means that I am responsible for my squadrons actions, but they are not responsible for mine, they may however have to endure some sort of negative stereotype, that my words create.  My actions have reflected poorly on the VF-143 name, and for this I am regretful.
