I swear, I am not intending to be a troll.

Please, read these posts:

and you will see that I am not trying to be a troll at all and am very hurt
that people are seeing me as such. I do not like this negative attention at
all, I came here to be a part of the coco family as you guys call it, to
help out when possible and learn the remainder of the time. Some posts I
made were worded such that people were able to make conclusions about the
meaning that I did not intend, those conclusions then eventually spread
throughout the list and has resulted in this. If I was given the time to
properly explain myself and my position on these issues this would never
have happened. I would like to please request everyone to please with an
open mind read the above posts so that everyone can see that I really mean
no harm. This has all been one big misunderstanding, I by no means mean to
be a troll and am very hurt by the fact that some people see me as such.
Please, read the above posts so that we can reverse this nastyness before
it's too late. I honestly mean no harm and want people to see that, I want
everyone to get past the bad conclusions that were spread throughout this
list by a select few members. Please, I honestly mean no harm at all and
most definetly do not mean to be a troll by any means. :(
