I'm sorry. I
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
I'm sorry. I
I'm sorry. I was the impersonator.
I'm not going to reveal myself, but I'm really sorry. I know that what I did was very wrong. And I'm never going to do it again. Ever.
But it's not what you think. I was only Cho's impersonator. Cho, I'm really sorry. You didn't deserve this, but something came over me. I'm sorry again.
If you ask me to, I will leave. I know so many of you so will, and if I leave, I will reveal myself.
I'm so sorry.
I love all of you. ❤❤
Signed,
The Impersonator

WE DO NOT WANT YOU TO LEAVE!!!!!!!!!! Whoever you are... Let's just make sure it doesn't happen again.
(December 26, 2016 - 10:26 am)
Don't leave. You realize what you did is wrong. We can smooth this over.

Is Cho Chang staying
(December 26, 2016 - 10:27 am)
No she is not. She's confirmed it multiple times. :(

Up!

Wow. That took guts, owning up to impersonating Cho. I honestly don't know many people who would do that. Holy cow, I don't know if I would have had the guts to own up to that. And just for that, even though IDK who you really are, I believe that you are a good person who just did something and didn't realize what would happen. I think you are really brave for telling the truth.

Impersonator, thanks for apologizing. And for being honest...if it really only was Cho. (If you say you didn't impersonate me or Abi, okay. I'm going to believe that.) I don't know about Cho, but I forgive you.
(December 26, 2016 - 12:17 pm)
Okay.
I forgive you. Thank you for being brave and telling us that you did it.
Don't leave. Too many people have left already. Just.... Just don't do it again. And I know you won't.
I believe you when you say that you only impersonated Cho. I actually didn't see her impersonation, but I think if you impersonated other people, too, you would tell us.
We love you too.

Yes, please don't leave.

Hey, thanks for living up to an honest personality. Coming up and admitting you were at fault, admitting what you did, takes a lot of courage. Thank you for doing that, and for realizing your mistake. And please don't leave, no matter who you are, you are a valuable family member of the CB.

"A long, passionate post sometimes is squelched by a few, powerful words spoken sincerely from the heart." -Me, trying to sound fancy.
I would do it too, personally.
I would impersonate her, say she was coming back, maybe hope it would light a spark inside of her that would make her really decide to come back.
But I didn't have the time.
You aren't a horrible person, with a dark stain on you; you're a new person now. You said sorry. And you weren't even that bad.
You didn't destroy threads like the other impersonator did. You weren't awful and mean like they were. You did it with grace in your mind, and you don't deserve to leave.
We know you won't impersonate anybody again.
Nobody deserves to leave, to feel like they're being kicked out.

Exactly, Icy. I forgot to add about the fact that what was done this time was not nearly as bad as the first impersonator. It was done with good intentions. So well stated, Icy.
(December 27, 2016 - 12:34 am)
I don't agree that I would impersonate somebody--I just couldn't--but I definitely understand your position, and I agree with Icy on everything else.
I really feel strongly that you should not live in guilt.
Sure, you made a mistake. We all do. Seriously, we do. I could name a bunch of mistakes I've made on the CB. I can if you want, but not right now, because this isn't about me.
First of all, it wasn't that bad. I know I made a strong post about it on Cho's leaving thread, but that was my initial reaction to impersonation in general...not exactly the specific situation. I believe I miscommunicated. You didn't destroy a thread. You weren't being awful or mean or discrimitory. You weren't trying to remove somebody from the CB. I think it was trying to spark a little hope. It seemed to be something you did for people other than yourself. The motive seemed pretty pure.
But even that isn't the important part of this. By that I mean your mistake. Hear me out, because this is important:
What you did....that's not what matters the most.
The reason you did it, your motive...that's not even what matters the most.
What matters the most is how you handled it. What you did after. What you did about your mistake, if you owned up to it, if you apologized, if you considered our feelings. Because you can't erase a mistake, but heck, you can certainly do something about it. If you have the heart and the courage to. Which you did.
The important part is you were brave enough to confess. Just let that sink in. You were brave. You felt guilt, and you had the courage to actually come up, and apologize. You told us you were sorry and that you wouldn';t do it again.That's what really, really, counts. That tells us more about you as a person than you impersonating somebody. It takes guts to not only face something you've done with yourself, but with others? That's hard. And you did it. You should be proud of that.
You shouldn't leave. I don't believe you deserve to leave. I don't want you to be kicked out. Because you are someone who cares, and I would really truly hate for you to leave.
(December 27, 2016 - 11:24 am)
Agreed. I know a lot of adults who wouldn't be able to own up to something like this.
(December 27, 2016 - 7:01 pm)
Thank you for apologizing. I can't imagine which CBer you are. You have learned a lesson on a writing website for kids that will hopefully stick with you in the real world.
