Hi Ms. BJ:
Like Ms. Judy, I'm unsure about what you're apologizing for. And I Do understand that being a person of integrity is more important than being popular. Mr Buccheri lets us know that every day. In fact, being an entertainer, he has mentioned many times that having a sense of ethics in all that you do leads to one thing, a calm heart and gentle spirit.
" It will be the very people that you serve who will be your judge and jury if you are found to be creating harm to or within the community where you participate - online or off. So, speak as one voice and speak honestly and allow integrity to be at the helm of your spiritual self when dealing with another - both in friendship and in business." (Revised edtion of LLB)
A while back now, TGAMM had a situation that created an email where someone said that, people on her friends list within the online community they were part of had been told to boycott our radio station. The email was motivated because of something Mr. Buccheri and our news affiliate BCN News had placed all over the Intertnet as a news story. THe outcome was someone replied at one particular forum as if the news story was a personal attack against them, simply because of some involvement they had in the subject matter of the news story. I can say that being privy to all that followed, I was sadden over how this person and a few others joined in and actually thought they had some magical power to destroy someone because they did their job as both friend and licensed broadcaster. As a young adult, I was even more concerned to have seen such a display of poor behavior.
As I was communicating earlier, we Interns, here at TGAMM FM, are reminded constantly that ethics, a true sense of doing what's best to alert others when harm will be the outcome, and in not being concerned about if you'll be looked upon as important for doing your job, or made popular from it - is not even a consideration.
About the CR it's my understanding that they are part of an on line community that settles complaints and are in one of the communities here on line. I have never seen their photos, never heard of anyone being able to communicate to them as individuals and who are friends with them here on the Internet.
By the way, there is one thing about the written word, as we are shown as well by those here at TGAMM, you can't hear the inflection on the word, nor see the face of the person speaking...so it's always our call on how we respond (react ).
To end my reply - in your heart, you were guided by your gentle spirit to create a greater good. So no apology should be needed, other than to express to others that you care.
Stay wonderful,
Helen/Intern on Duty
