The prize question is why it took the OP 7 years to listen to LoyceV and start this topic.
He clearly stated in the PM that he was not going to create a topic about it because he was afraid no one would support him and it would end badly for him (I believe he has finally found the courage to do so now). We can't blame him for not doing it 7 years ago; our focus as a community is whether the red is justified or not. This is the aim of this thread isn't it?
It would be much better for OP to start a reputation thread back then to admit his mistakes instead of sending LoyceV those private messages. Let's say if we believe for a second that OP wasn't intending to ask for a positive trust feedback then why he said that Drop a positive?
Still there's nothing wrong with sending PM asking for forgiveness and attempting to settle situations amicably without involving the community and as I said previously, the "drop me a positive " might imply so many things in this case. We both don't know
