I owe an apology to Alarandiia for my post in the karaoke contest thread. I posted that she had a rule violation and I made it look as though I would have voted for her had she not done that version of the song. I also posted it without going back and reading the thread that announced the song selection, I read it the day that it was posted and only then. Well, when I thought that Alarandiia had a rule infraction I did vote for someone else and I stated this, however I did not say that it only made it easier for me to choose between Alarandiia and the person I thought basically "tied" with her. Also, I apologize for stating the rule violation and my choice in a more harsh manner than I intended it to. I forget that what I say has the tendency to come out more bluntly and therefore can be seen as more aggressive than I intend it to. That is one of the failings of the internet people cannot hear tone, and sometimes even when they can people misunderstand my intentions.

So to Alarandiia I apologize for what I said and the way that I stated it. I did not see it so much as cheating as I did something that puzzled me as to why we were not hearing about it and now that I know that I could have read the explanation had I read the whole thread before posting I really do feel badly about that. Luckily it looks as though I am the only person who had not read that thread. Again, I am really sorry about that.
