<center><h1>My Apology to @aggroed, @gmuxx and the MSP Community</h1></center>
First and foremost, the comments made were 100% my own. Don't blame the people who upvoted the post and supported me in the comments. I take full responsibility.

In my latest post, I brazenly attacked @minnowsupport based on some faulty truths I held. I accused them of being a ponzi scheme, a get rich quick scheme, and abusing the reward pool under the guise of a minnow support project. All these accusations are completely WRONG.

Being a bot user myself, and an entrant to @aggroed's contest, this was an unfair and hypocritical accusation. I attacked one of the most promising and active minnow support communities making myself look like a douche, a fool, and honestly a real ass.

**So why did I write this post? What possibly could have been my intentions?**

The post was not written as an insult, to attack them because I lost the contest (I dropped out of the contest and congratulated all the winners so there are no hard feelings there). The post was supposed to be written to highlight the abuse of bots recently on Steemit. Unfortunately, I had an inaccurate conception of MSP in my head and went completely over board with false over generalizations and inaccurate info. 

**What am I going to do?**

1) Delete the content from my original post
2) Donate all the rewards from that post to MSP
3) Made private apologies to @aggroed and @gmuxx
4) Write a public apology (this)
5) Donate all rewards from this post

**The future**

I have started to become a very active person in the Steemit community and made many friends. I have also started a few projects of my own and have plans to possibly attend SteemFest. I have come to love this community and don't wish to ruin my relationship with those I respect based on one stupid post. I will work on being more respectful to the Steemit community, especially those such as @aggroed and @gmuxx who put so much time into helping newcomers find their way around.

I hope @aggroed, @gmuxx, @swelker101, @minnowsupport and the rest of MSP accept this apology. My actions were unacceptable and will not be repeated.

Sincerely,
@robertdurst10
