I've been a member of Steamgifts for somewhere between 366 and 729 days. I'm in a good mood today and this is my confession ...

2013 was a crazy year. In Steamgifts alone, I got into arguments (sorry), was dismissive (sorry again), wrote gay snuff porn (sorry again), was reprimanded for being a misogynist (sorry again), gave horrible personal advice (sorry again), and was falsely suspended (sorry again).

But to me, the most memorable thing of 2013 was in getting to know and interacting with fellow chat group members. I know people sometimes view groups with cynicism, but there are a number out there that are truly communal at heart.

With much love, I just wanted to throw a little shout-out to my groups; in the interest of space, I can't name them all. And because I'm doing this from memory, I'll definitely miss names, so sorry in advance. But know that you're all great, completely weird, and add beautiful color to the world.

Even if we don't see eye-to-eye, I appreciate that the world wouldn't be nearly as interesting a place if you were all perfect like me.
