Every once in awhile, people have a crappy day and post something that they probably regret later. But somehow it feels like we treat it as a "will werewolf survive?" topic when it happens here.

Having someone establish a pattern of cheating in games is a black mark for our forum because it damages the integrity of the game.

Having someone step over the line in a thread? It is going to happen. If the parties involved are good people who want to make amends then I'm all for seeing that happen, whether it is a thread like this one, PMs, or buying someone a beer at a meet-and-greet.

Hope to see both of you again in a game in the near future. Maybe (gasp!) even in the same game

I agree with this -- there's no reason to get all "thread-police" in here. If someone wants to apologize for something, or really just say anything in general to the WW community, how else are they supposed to do it? This thread isn't a "black mark" or whatever -- if anything, the game thread itself was, and this thread makes the situation better (that's usually what apologies do).
