An apology to the server...

Dear Shire,
I wanted to take a moment to apologize to the members of the server for my poor behavioral choices in the past few days. I no way intended to offend or make any individual feel uncomfortable. In that regard, I have decided that may behavior is a direct result of poor adult decisions and a lack of judgment.
Such is a judgmental error, and such is a breech of trust, I feel that it is only fair that I leave the server. I made comments, in jest, that were very much taken out of context. Many of such comments were made whereas the context could not be otherwise insinuated as to the original statement. Meaning, "it sounded like I'm a complete perverse human". Thus, the harm is my foul.
I do feel remorse for my actions. Unfortunately, I also, as an adult, do not feel shame. Exposure to such behavior is inevitable. Granted, it should not be in such an environment as this. This is why I have chosen to exclude myself from this community from this point on. I would like to extend a personal apology to those that were affected. In addition, I want to apologize to the community as a whole for my lack of behavioral control. Please...do not let me represent anything other than respect and commitment to the game and the ideals of the server...I have had a great deal of fun taking part in activities on the server over the time I have been a member.
Again, I apologize and wish you all well.
(For those that have no idea what I'm talking about)
I genuinely like this server. I have spent a great deal of time here. Over the course of that time I have grown to know a lot of individuals. I, unlike them, have a few years to my credit. I made some ill-likened jokes. I broke their trust and their friendship. I can honestly say I am not representative of this server and they are great people.
1000 apologies.

Henry! It's been great to have you here. For what its worth, you and I are the same age - you're definitely not the only 'adult' on here, and we all say off-color things now and then, but like you said, this just isn't the right venue. The ages here can be as young as 8 - though even if everyone here was 40, I still don't think those 'jokes' would have been appropriate.You're always welcome here so long as it means you'll be contributing to a positive experience for everyone- Forest Meadows will be waiting for you should you ever decide to return.2

^^Well said!Henry, before that long time period between us playing together before and when you recently started coming on again, I had a genuine respect for you, you were cool and calm yet still funny at the same time. This is why I was so shocked and dismissive of your behaviour more recently which has been as you said a little off taste, the fact that you've acknowledged that is great, and if you improved on it you are more than welcome in The Shire!I used to have a big deal of respect for you, a good portion of that's been restored by this post, I wish you the best regardless of whether you return or not.All the best,Ben1
