Re: if you do unit improvements do you compensate other unit owners?

Dear JimmyT,

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to apologise to the Flat Chat community for my masquerade.

I am so sorry everyone, I really am. I honestly didn’t mean to offend, or show any disrespect. Please forgive me?

I truly, honestly did it to put myself in the shoes of the other person – the one with the exclusive-use access. My initial question was straightforward (about compensating other unit owners for renovations), but the thread quickly developed into more complex issues – and the responses have been incredibly helpful. So thank you all again.

But once I’d misled everyone about my identity, I was too ashamed to come clean… Until one of the contributors implied I was going to do something underhand, which was getting completely out of hand! So I privately messaged them to ‘fess up, explain my masquerade and ask for forgiveness – I understand they felt deceived and disappointed. But they dobbed on me – which hurts a little – but I do understand they had no choice in the interests of maintaining the high standards of a professional forum.

I give you my word of honour Flat Chatters that I will never displease the Flat Chat community again. And JimmyT, I guess as a positive, you’ve been able to use my bad example as a cautionary tale and an opportunity to reinforce Flat Chat’s impeccable modus operandi? I hope so. Please have me back?

With love, gratitude and contriteness,

Libbylou

PS I am female, but my name isn’t Libbylou (is it a little bit funny that you can have a fake name but not a fake identity? No disrespect intended! But JimmyT, you would find that slightly amusing, too?)
