A Message from the Feed Jon Foundation

Dear Readers

The Feed Jon Foundation would like to apologise to Cedric and his family on behalf of one of their more enthusiastic writers, namely JonTheMan, for his post "Sitting next to an ADDHD Champion". The article in question has been repealed and JonTheMan truly regrets any hurt caused. In an effort to be humorous and yet factual, the story ended up portraying Cedric in a negative light. This portrayal was never the purpose of the post but merely an unintentional by-product of it. JonTheMan is truly sorry for that.

The post attempted to create a caricature of Cedric, which exaggerates certain characteristics and downplays others, it was never intended to be offensive and JonTheMan apologises for any offense taken.

As a token of the Feed Jon Foundation’s remorse, JonTheMan has retrieved the ADDHD Champion trophy from Cedric and conferred it upon the Ruckster; a truly deserving candidate.

The Feed Jon Foundation is truly regretful about the anguish caused and has taken steps to mitigate against this occurring again. These include employing more stringent peer-review on posts before they are published and the protection of the identities of people mentioned via nom de plums or other socially acceptable means. We believe these mechanisms will protect the relationships which we have built over the years with the friends and family of the Foundation.

The Management Team
