I dare to offer you forgiveness from the conservation community. Deborah Deborah Phillips ACR Sr. Archive Conservator Devon County Council Devon Heritage Centre Great Moor House Bittern Road, Sowton Exeter EX2 7NL Tel: 01392 384317 From: Gavin Maitland [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 25 June 2014 15:25 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: STATEMENT Dear, the entire archives and records management profession, After my very drunken attempt at joviality it has come to my attention that I might have caused some offense and I apologise to any and all that may have been affected by my actions. Clearly a professionally based listserv such as this is not the place to enter into the game of trolling such as that in question and attempting to take a stand against a bully is obviously best not made in this context and I apologise for such an ill-judged attempt. Expressing one's personal dissatisfaction is best not made with such crude comments or in such a ribald display of expletives and I again apologise for any offense caused. Making light of or questioning a person's mental health is best not made in such a public forum especially when one's own is in such a current state of disarray and I apologise to all for any offense caused. I am more than willing to accept any disciplinary action brought against me and again I urge the owners of this listserv to remove me from it.
