To apologize to member bobby

Granted by Heroes:
I feel really bad about about something that happened and need to apologize to this member for any hard feelings I have caused him. He recently made a wish from the heart for cards with $1.00 for his father. Being that I am a veteran member on here, I try to do my best to help other members on here, especially new members who are unaware of the rules. He put up a personal address on his wish and I wrote a comment that he should contact admin and ask to have the address removed. It is always advised that members don't post personal info on the wish, to only give it to those who offer to grant the wish. There are too many crazy people out in the world. I was only concerned for his family's safety. He feels my comment did damage for his wish being granted and told me so in a P.M. I tried to explain to him but he blocked me from contacting him. Can someone please give him my message? I have no intentions of hurting anyone on here and my heart was in the right place. Also, his wish does not have an offer to grant button, which would be why he is not getting offers on his wish. He needs to edit his wish so it has a grant button. Bobby, please accept my apology. If you do, I will gladly put in an offer to help your father but I won't be able to if I am still blocked.

Thank you, bobby for allowing me the opportunity to work out this unfortunate misunderstanding with you. I would never want to cause hard feelings with anyone on here and I accept your apology as well.

I wanted to edit this wish so it had an offer to grant button but it kept going back to wishes from the heart since there were no other catergories for this wish.

Sarahshope, you can review the rules by checking the link at the top or bottom of the page, Rules & Netiquette. Also look at the FAQ, where you'll find answers to a lot of your questions. If I can help with any others, just PM me. I'm still learning too (does that ever end?) but would be glad to share what I know.

Sorry for the errors in my message. I was so excited about find some answers; I didn't proofread it.

Monica, you are a very kind person. Don't change over this. Since there are several long time members here, could I please ask a few questions? If you know of specific place on here where I can find the rules, please share the information with me. I remember reading the rules when I started my account but I want to review them. Feel free to tell me I am breaking a rule now -- if I am. 1. How do you know a wish is legitimate? 2. If you grant a wish when is the person supposed to acknowledge it as "granted"? 3. I read something about responding in 7 days. If someone's birthday is further out or if I am waiting on something I ordered for someone - how would I handle this? (if there is a 7 day time frame? If I know someone has received what I promised, what happens if they don't acknowledge it? I think this is an amazing site. I'm so happy I found it. I just wish I had a little more information. I appreciate any comments. Please tell me if I should make this into a wish. Thank you

Monica, you are a caring hero who was just trying to look out for this person, not imply he did something BAD by posting his address. You have apologized---now it's time to move on, for your own sake.

I did find his wish and see that the personal info has been removed, but the wish still doesn't have an offer to grant button. It seems he thought the suggestion implied that HIS address was unsafe to SEND to, not that posting it might be a danger for his family. Misunderstanding!

I think this apology is a wonderful, sensitive way to try to remedy the confusion and hard feelings. Hope he sees it and accepts the apology. Also, that he "fixes" his wish so members CAN offer to grant. It would be great to see LOTS of cards sent for his father.
