It was recently brought to my attention of some of my wrong actions recently. I am sure you all who fall under this fandom can understand my excitement for the last chapter. But, we can not allow that excitement turn into mocking, unkindness, or bashing of the other fandom or its characters.

I know many of you may say that "they did it to us, so this is our time to get back at them" or something like that. Even if we feel that they are in the wrong, we should not shove it in their faces. Even if we feel that they are not being logical, explain our side with kindness and understanding. Don't call them idiots or stupid.

We have a history of taking the higher road in all of this...well at least our better members. Let's continue in that tradition. If NaruSaku ends as a result of these chapters, I beg all of you to empathize with them and not mock them. We all know how it feels to be mocked. There will be a lot of anger going around these next couple of weeks, so I beg all of you to not give into it or make it grow. We are all Naruto lovers who all want the best for the characters. Please remember this and please treat others as how you wish to be treated. Jesus knew what he was talking about.

Here is a note of apology that I made to someone that I wronged. I wish to make it public now.

"I am so sorry for any offense that I gave to you personally. That is not my intention. That is never my intention.

So forgive me for what I said here that offended you. I could have been more kind here, now that I look back. Thank you for speaking up. I don't want to continue this.

My original purpose in getting into the pairing war debate was to help the other fandom at least understand how Hinata could be with Naruto. So, when this time comes when the choice will be made by Kishimoto, if it goes to my side, then at least I helped people at least understand why it happened so anger is minimized and possible acceptance happens sooner. People don't have to like the pairing, but I want them to at least understand why it happens and be happy for Naruto in the end.

So according to you, I deviated from my original purpose, and I seriously apologize. I am not going to argue now who is right or wrong or if my work was truly offensive in nature. The most important part of this was that I offended you. With just that...I failed.

I do ask that you would be now more patient with my fellow fandom though. We are people who have held on to hope way too long and have endured much from our hope. Especially for the characters Hinata and Sasuke. We never expected that Kishimoto would play things out like this. We never wanted Sakura to endure all of this. But, now that it is has happened, our interpretation of events has released our pent up anger and frustration. It does not excuse our actions, but for most people, we do not intend to play the cards that we have been dealt.

But many of us have. So I apologize for all us now. I will try to make light of our actions to my side of the fandom."

So hopefully, I hope this helps to wake all of us up. I know I was.

I plan on releasing another note soon with some more thoughts about the pairing issue.
