@Ittermat I see what you mean? He pointed out all of the things he does to show his... 'integrity' (not being sarcastic or anything, i just don't know a better word) and to 'better' himself in comparison or to show that 'hey, i'm not that kind of person because of these things i've done/am doing.' Which is fine?
I have nothing against either people, least of all cpvr whose contributed to the community and a pretty chill dude.
To silver, it's okay to make mistakes! You're young (I'm 18 so I can't really talk but...
) and you'll just move on and learn from this experience.
