Can't seem to find any better venue to post this, so this will have to be a kind of awkward open/public apology. Simply put: A long time back, I said some pretty hurtful things to several of you at Paizo. Those remarks were unjustified, and I want to own up to it.
Some context: Years ago, when PF2 first entered public playtesting, I got into some pretty heated exchanges with many of you, and some PF2 developers in particular. At the time, I stormed off the forums and presumed I would (perhaps justifiably) be banned; figured I'd never return. Today, I wanted to archive some old PDF purchases and discovered I can still log in. That offers a chance to set things right.
Most of my posts from that discussion have rightly been deleted by moderators, and the passage of time has dulled my memory. This means I can't find or remember exact names, only that I wrongly lashed out at various Paizo staff / PF2 devs. Forgive me for addressing this apology so broadly, when it SHOULD be directed to specific people; I truly don't recall who was in that discussion.
With this context laid out... I am sorry for tearing into you like that. While some of my critiques may have been valid, they weren't expressed appropriately. That wasn't fair to you, and from here on I will do my best to be more reasonable and respectful. All of this was years ago, but an apology is still called for given how harsh my remarks were.
Thank you for hearing me out.

I wasn't part of the original discussion you're referencing here, but I wanted to drop in and say that it takes a person with strong self reflection and considerable growth to notice this and it takes strength and humility to make an apology like this—an actual apology (not just an "I'm sorry." So thank you and I hope your return to the community is a positive one for you and the people you interact with.
