Issue Has Been Resolved. Moving On Now...
Well, that's that. Thank you for everyone's help, and I'm glad justice has been served. One can only help that this would mean that future incidents like these would be less tolerated, if not less frequent.

I Thought Things Over, And...
.:It's Time To Break The Cycle...:.
Tonight, I wanted to write about responsibilities: about how people are responsible for whatever they do or say, whatever medium of expression it is.
Tonight, I wanted to proudly proclaim my being an ethicist and to prove without a doubt that people are responsible for what they have to say in their blogs or journals.
Tonight, I wanted to be a snarky bastard and write another one of those "satires" in a pitiful attempt to have the last word on an issue.
But tonight, I realized, that would be really pointless.
The past few days have seen me turn into quite a big ball of rage, without question. I won't offer any excuses or blame my circumstances for it. I know I am a self-righteous jack@$$ who never knows the meaning of "agreeing to disagree".
As such, I realize that I can be quite pushy at times when I'm trying to explain a point, and for that, I need to apologize to someone I know (I'm not sure if I still have the right to say she's a friend, actually. Or if I ever did.). I want you to know that I was not a "traitor" to anyone, since the other party was fully aware of how I felt about when it came to that other party's actions.
Beyond that, I offer no explanations or excuses. I only offer apologies for ruining your night and pissing you off by being the smarmy prick I can be a lot of the time. I'm sorry. I'm not proud of it. At least, not at this point, since I realized that like I told you, "there could've been a better way to handle things."
And really, I should've handled that better. But I didn't. I'm sorry. I hope you can accept my humblest apologies to you. I'd mention you by name just so you know I'm willing to go out on a limb to set this right, but I'm not so sure if you'd appreciate that.
For now, I just think it's time I stopped going to bed angry at the world and angry at myself, and apologizing to you for being insensitive and bullheaded is the first step towards that.
I'm sorry.

It's Been A Long Time Coming, But...
It may have been months in coming, but I do believe I owe Jill and Ranulf quite an apology.
Jill, when I tried to help you out a few months back, I feel I didn't think it over too well if speaking to you would help you or make things worse. Given the way the situation unfolded, a lot of things got lost in translation, and you ended up getting the wrong idea because I didn't take into account how you felt at the time. Instead of making you feel better, I think I only ended up making you feel worse, and I sincerely apologize for that.
Ranulf, I don't even know where to begin, because when you get down to it, I owe you more than I can ever hope to repay, and what I did definitely didn't go in the way of trying to repay you for your kindness. I should've known better than to take only half an equation as a whole, and simply asked you the minute I heard about this. It was a mistake, and I can't even begin to imagine how frustrating it must've been for you to have to deal with a rumor whose origins you can't even begin to understand.
So yeah, if anyone has heard a nasty thing or two about Ranulf in recent months, let me be the first to tell you that ultimately, the rumor spawned from what I will patently categorize to be a lie. At this point, I don't care why one would lie about something like that, but I refuse to continue being a party to this unfair rumor, and I wish to categorically say that any rumors you hear about Ranulf and his alleged serious involvement with a certain lady are false, and if I mentioned anything regarding this to anyone, I am retracting my statements and assumptions regarding this. In the end, Ranulf was the innocent victim of a very degrading rumor, and the least I can do is to set the record straight on my part. I will not further talk about this rumor with anyone, lest it continues to linger in the minds of people.
For the undue stress this may have caused especially Ranulf, I cannot apologize to him enough. I hope that this gesture would go towards rectifying this serious issue.
