To my fellow community members,
Here I am freshly sprung from community jail.....a ban from the community as I have been accused of being xenophobic. As a result I will apologise to anyone from the community including @Tiana_V @Alan_K and @Oana_S who felt my comments to @agai11nst were xenophobic or racist in anyway. This was not my intent in any way shape or form. I constantly comment on the need for inclusiveness in the community and the diversity that stems from it. I was raised to believe in multiculturalism being the backbone of canadian society. My family actively helps sponsor and resettle refugee families in smaller communities in this country. To be accused of this was quite the shock but as i try to choose my words very carefully when i post i do recognize the mistake i made in my post.
After reading several posts by this member that were disparaging, insulting and generally nasty towards public mobile, it's customers, the community and its members and accused us of being in on the corporate greed of the big three and basically the entire canadian mobile provider industry. I felt the need to defend the community and public mobile. In my comment I suggested if @agai11nst was that unhappy with public mobiles prices they could switch to another canadian mobile provider. Since they had complained they were all the same I suggested.....this was my mistake.....they move to another country that have much cheaper mobile data rates......i don't know anything about this member so I was not suggesting anything other than an over the top suggestion on how to get a mobile data plan that would be cheap enough (since public mobiles plans were still to expensive) to satisfy this members needs. I chose the country with the cheapest mobile data rates in the world instead I probably should left above graph and let them choose from the list so as to be inclusive of all nations offering cheaper mobile data rates than Canada.
I understand that @agai11nst was upset and venting and after cooling down apologised the next day and that happens on the community a lot and we understand. I hope the community can understand that in defending public mobile my intent was misunderstood and I apologise for that. Going forward I will triple check my posts for any possibility that it may offend anyone for any reason because as we all know the community is inclusive and we must be as pc and pg as possible. I hope the community can understand my original intent and not see me as being xenophobic individual as that is far from who I am.
