I won't speak for everyone here, but for myself.
I didn't tell you that you are being manipulated into doing something against BD or into telling us the details of your conversation with BD.
My intention is to make you see the situation you are in and make your decisions with knowledge of it.
It is a fact that BD is good at manipulating and influencing people, otherwise he wouldn't have such a solid fan base, yes, more like a cult but that is another topic. The point is that no one can have such a strong following without knowing how to
manipulate and influence the emotions of others. This is not bad in itself, the problem is when you use it for your benefit, then we enter into a moral issue.
So, you see the effort that BD puts into "Apologizing and making you see his situation", and I admit it is a good effort BUT, if you sincerely believe that this effort is only for you, you are being naive, it is clear that BD knew that you would share this, if not with details, then you would make it known and thus influence others, especially in this forum, don't you think so?
You can doubt it but
Better Cock Spock is a good example of going from not giving a cent for BD to giving him the opportunity once again, when he himself has been here long enough to understand that BD does not keep his word.
I will summarize everything in a simple sentence: "
actions speak louder than words"
Let time tell us if BD was sincere or not, I personally predict without fear of being wrong that this does not change anything, he will continue with the same... why change if it works?
