a public apology

As many of you might know, yesterday my friend (gkeeper1993) and I got caught doing something REALLY stupid--rating a coaster we worked on together. He was banned from the site, and so we drafted an apology to everybody. On behalf of myself and him, here it is:

To whom it may concern:
We can't express how deeply embarrassed and sorry we are for what happened earlier. It was a big mistake and we promise you that it will never happen again. We hope that you can find it in your hearts to forgive us and move on. We especially apologize to everybody who was directly affected by what we did.

***What happened was I had my friend (gkeeper1993) rate all of my coasters really high because most of them had pretty poor ratings and I felt bad. However I forgot to use common sense. I know I was wrong in doing that and that I crossed the line because one of the ratings made my coaster 3rd ranked in top rated for last week. I'm sorry; it will never happen again, and I hope you all can forgive me (and my friend too). Thanks for your time and again, my friend and I are really, really sorry and I hope that we can put this all behind us now [;)]

once again we are deeply and sincerely sorry
