When the adjudicator was offended about my landlord/tenant case in 1998, it was partly because of what my landlady had told him and "evidence" she provided at the hearing.... My landlady wasn't completely honest, in my opinion, but it's true that I unintentionally did some things to offend her.... First, I'd gotten angry about the eviction matter and left her a couple phone messages when she was away.... Unfortunately, I spoke in an angry manner.... Second and third, I made some controversial comments about gay people in the messages, which I felt applied to her, and I've discussed them elsewhere in this blog and don't wish to repeat them here.... I've made an effort to apologize for any inappropriateness on my behalf....
Again, I've "explained and apologized" but I'd like to go a step further now and make amends in a practical manner.... I'd like to do something constructive and pro-active.... By the way, my landlady and I haven't been in contact with each other for many years and I wouldn't try to reach her now.... But for her sake, and for the adjudicator's, I'd like to make a donation to an organization called Pflag Canada--which is for the parents, families, and friends of lesbians and gays.... I've done some research on the Internet but am waiting to hear if I can make a donation by cheque, rather than online...? So, I'll make a note in this blog when the donation has been sent.... [If there's any problem, I'll find another gay organization to donate to...?]
As I've said before, I don't think everything was done fairly towards me but I made mistakes also and I'd like to apologize for my part in the problems. I've learned a lot about gays over the years and I'm more knowledgeable now about how to get along with them.... I hope people can forgive me?
