Hey guys, recently Duke sent me an apology he wanted me to pass along to you all. I held off on posting it until things settled down (his timing was terrible, lol). But anyway he's had a couple years to think and I don't see anything wrong with letting a guy apologize. This is not an indication that his ban will be lifted, or that lifting the ban is even being considered right now.
Please refrain from replying with negative comments, the dude is trying to apologize, no need for snark
To those in the XHF Network, you all know me as Duke Kosloff, but that's not me. My name is Danny, and I want to start off by apologizing for my actions when I was a member of the XHF. When I was banned almost two years ago, yes I was upset, I loved the XHF Network and had what I thought were some great friends in it, so yes it was a huge blow for me. But I did not run and try to get the Network banned, or talk trash about any of the XHF members or about the XHF instead I spent the last two years thinking about what truly happened and why I lost my efed home.
What it came down to was, "Me", I lost it because I couldn't handle things, I took on too many characters, I tried to help too many feds, and I wanted to run my own fed as well as be in every fed. Some would say I was an efed junkie, but the truth is I plagiarized those roleplays so I could compete with the talents of guys like Caffrey, Hype, and the others, but mostly because I wanted to be friends with them and not just someone they talked trash about or talked down too, so I copied other writings to make Dukes stuff better, in essence making myself seem better than I truly was.
So, I made the biggest mistakes of my efed life, and not only once or twice but multiple times I used parts of other people's writings to boost Duke's lifespan. When I should have just did my best or retired him. Yet, I didn't because Duke was my first character and I wanted to hold onto him.
I should have owned up to what I did long ago and just admitted it and stopped, instead I lied to those who I considered friends and continued to plagiarize, I want to apologize not only to them but to the entire XHF Network for the disrespect I showed when I was apart of the roster. I know probably 99.99% of the XHF Roster hates me and has been talking trash about me since I left and hell I deserved it for what I did. But like I said the last two years I have had time to think and when I look back at the characters I ran or created, I can see where some of them may have been poor choices.
Even though none of them were meant to be offensive, racist, or demeaning to anyone I do want to apologize for a certain tag team that I ran as I can now clearly see where someone could have gotten the wrong impression from them, "The Ganja Connection" even though they were simply meant to be nothing more than a couple of high flying weed-smoking, mary jane loving wrestlers, they came off as racist to some or ignorant to others. So I apologize for that as well, if any of my others offended anyone I apologize for them as well.
The one thing I always loved about the XHF Network was the family feel of the whole place, even when people argued or fought in character or out of character, or if someone from the outside would start something with a member of the Network everyone would have each other's back. And if one person hated or liked someone the whole place pretty much followed and supported that just like family does. All families fight, laugh, and deal with every situation that comes their way, I do miss that and I believe that's part of the reason the XHF has been around for so long.
I am not perfect, never claimed to be, I'm not saying any of this to make excuses for what I did, because there's no excuse for my actions, I simply wanted the XHF Network to know I understand what I did was wrong and I understand why I was banned. I just hope one day I will find another fed that's as cool as the XHF is. Once again to everyone I am truly sorry for what I did.
