An Apology From "Goatshead"

[Jordan Opalanie]

This is a long time coming. About 11 years ago this month, I signed up
as "Goatshead" on Bolt.com and created many enemies, one of the boards I
used to troll was the LGBTIQ issues board and would regularly write
extremely vile, nasty, shit on the board. As many people know, back
then, the technology for "denial-of-service" control was horrible and I
would regularly flood that board, among others.

I was 14 at the time and made numerous other mistakes which I won't get into here. Back
then, I was a sad anti-social youth that would sometimes yearn for
acceptance and other times become very destructive and was dragged into
the dark world of Satanism and other extreme ideologies, even making
racist and sexist comments.

I stopped using Bolt.com around 2000/2001, Since then, I have come to terms with my sexual orientation
and gender identity. I would like to say that now, I am a proud
polyamorous, bisexual, transwoman; and I would like to sincerely
apologize for the behaviour I exhibited on the website at the time, and
know that I was a sad, insecure youth then. If anybody was on Bolt
during the turn of the millenium and were privy to my prejudice
behaviour, I would like to make peace with you, if at all possible!!!

I have traded in my heavy metal t-shirts, ball fitting jeans and nazi
jackboots for skirts and blouses and makeup, and I have never felt
happier (though I wish I could get some transition services), and want
to distance myself from my past. "Goatshead" is long dead, let's keep it
that way.

I was on primarily in 1999/2000 and I don't remember you, but I think it's pretty honorable that you came back to admit you were wrong.

[Jordan Opalanie]

I was on around that time

I remember you vaguely and think it is very brave of you to come back and atone...well done!
