Statement

I’m pleased to see that my guestbook is being used so actively. It provides an open forum for messages that are accessible to everyone, and this post illustrates that purpose well.

I don’t want the time I spent with Kathi and Kerstin to be recorded here in any way, because they weren’t real relationships. Besides, you have no right to publicly expose any assumptions about people who may have ‘expressed interest’ in others. This is a topic that can make you a lot of enemies, or has already done so. John.

You are correct in pointing out that publishing intimate assumptions about others was inappropriate, and I apologize for doing so. I did not fully understand the potential negative impact, and I assure you it will not happen again. At the same time, it is important to differentiate between speculation and fact.

I don’t believe it is wrong to document truthful aspects of past relationships that were official and by no means private. Nevertheless, I respect your request and have made the necessary changes to the post in question.

It’s impossible to satisfy everyone, and that has never been my goal. If any of my posts have caused offense or hurt, that was never my intention, and I sincerely apologize. I hope you will continue to visit my website, and I remain grateful for your engagement. Yours, Marcel.
