I did attempt to apologize to anyone here that I offended, indirectly, though I apparently failed.
I hope you can understand that it was never my intention to put this person under the spotlight any more than I could possibly avoid. I saw and filmed things that no other person has been willing to review -- I no longer wish them to, and I'll be destroying them.
My fear was the scenario. He was dancing backstage, neither his presence nor identity known to anyone; but his behavior was extremely erratic.
Yes, I'm ashamed for not having listened to several people regarding my approach. Toward the end, I was trying all approaches at once, including a continuation of the phone calls and emails I'd begun with.
But, by my own definition of integrity, I'm willing to face that shame, and outside of this particular forum, where I've reluctantly exposed this man, I do not intend to mention his involvement again. I assure you, if you review what happened, you'll understand that my motivations were in no way "racially" motivated.
If anyone would like to meet with me, I'm willing to arrange it. In person, by phone.... just please let me know whether I should put some beer on ice, or whether my Wife & Children need to sleep elsewhere tonight.
To ALL: I'm truly sorry. I hope that you'll agree that the final outcome was of some good.
You'll find that here:
