Most of you here today are probably here because of one thing: The Avatar Portal. I was shocked to discover this afternoon someone had used my account on my computer to send fraudulent emails claiming they were Margie Cohn from Nickelodeon. Apparently last night Littlerain (the admin from the Avatar Portal, who received the emails) discovered the emails came from my account and charged me and automatically made me guilty to the general public. Though I believe she acted rashly, I still must offer an apology.

The emails were sent by my younger brother, who is actually very bright but also very immature.  I am totally shocked over this whole issue, but I can assure you I was not the cause of it. When I found out about this, I did not find it funny like my brother did, because it is not funny, it's disgusting and low of a person to do. Frankly I'm appauled someone from my own family even had something to do with it.

I can not offer any evidence that what I am saying is true, unfortunately. I really wish I had some, then I could clear my name, but for now it's just my word. I want to extend a huge apology to everyone from that site who was hurt by this, though. It really is a shame it happened, and I know many people, including Littlerain, were hurt greatly by it. The Avatar Portal is a really good site for Avatar info and fan works. With Youtube taking down all the Avatar episodes recently, I have found them as a good site for rewatching the episodes if I need a quote or have to check some info I received. In no way would I want the site taken down. The whole thing makes me sick.

I know many of you will still think I'm guilty even after reading this. But I assure you with the greatest amount of certainty that I did not commit the fact and I wish I could prove it to all of you. And as a matter of character and morality, I would wise up to something if I did it, not run and hide from it. That's not who I am. If you talk to the people online in the community who know me, they will tell you the same thing, that I would not commit such a hurtful and childish act. I am truly devastated and hope everyone can forgive me, especially Littlerain and the staff at The Avatar Portal site. No one should have to go through so much as they did these past couple days, but I admire their courage. They fought through to the end, and although they came to the wrong conclusion, still they solved the case and my brother will be dealt with later tonight.

Now I hope you all can accept my sincerest apologies, and will not splurge any more comments or emails to me saying I am a despicable person, because I truly am not. If you don't believe me, I am sorry, and I really wish there was a way I could make you believe me, as I am not a bad person at all. I would not stoop to this low of a level and risk ruining my reputation I have worked so hard to obtain. This is truly a tragic day, and I cannot explain in words to you how sick and disgusted I am at all that has been going on. It was intended as a joke on me by my brother, but unfortunately turned into so much more, and hurt a lot of people in the process. You do not know how sorry I am right now. And I don't feel right knowing people think I am a person I'm really not. Accept my apologies kind people, I am begging you. I am not the horrible person you believe me to be.
