I believe cancelling the campaign is the right thing to do, and it’s my hope that this decision will begin to mend any fractures that have emerged in our community as a result of the campaign. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported me throughout the years, and although some of the comments were not only very personal and hurtful, I want to especially thank those who took the time to share their positive and supportive thoughts about the campaign.

Your passion for the Amiga scene is what makes this community so special, and I’m sorry if my actions have in any way overshadowed that.

I remain as committed as ever to the Amiga community, and I’ll continue to participate and contribute in the ways that I can. I hope we can all learn from this experience and continue to share in our love for C=/Amiga. I welcome any critics to meet up with me at events and I’ll gladly talk to them over a drink or two. We’re never too old to learn.

Thank you for understanding, and once again, I’m truly sorry for any distress caused.

Yours sincerely, David John Pleasance
