Hi everyone, I’ll more than admit I’ve been letting frustration and anger get the better of me the last few months, whether it’s related to broadcasting, current events and issues or whatever. This has been happening not just on Big Yella or anywhere else online, but in my personal life and, to an extent, my professional life as a freelancer, and I’m feeling an insane amount of remorse. Yes, there are some rather frustrating things happening these days, including in radio & TV, but I have seriously overreacted for sure.

I’m not sure what is at the root of me being so angry, hair-triggered/short-fused and overreacting so often, but either way, I know I need help, and I have set up an appointment with my family physician to get started, whether it’s meds or counselling or whatever is necessary to break the cycle and get Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde out of me. I am not a generally angry or mean person, it’s just that I’ve been overreacting (and then some) to some things, sometimes faster than I can nip in the bud.

To everyone here, I sincerely apologize for all the times I’ve overreacted or “blown up” on the big yellow board, and I am now doing everything in my power to ensure that these will not happen again. Consider this a pact - I will, effective immediately, limit my posts and comments/replies to calm, non-aggressive content, all related to radio, television and music, primarily around my home base in eastern Ontario. If I need to let my frustration out, I’ll write something to myself on my computer’s text editor and not in my browser at all, let alone on SOWNY.

Thank you for your understanding,

FP
