Well I guess I still care this much

Yes, I care 
. And I mean I care about Shireroth, in a very specific manner.
OK, so, think back to the reign of Leto III (aka Jonas). Or, more accurately, to that coup that was instigated on #micronations, having been initiated by Harvey. I didn't like the coup's plan of making Erik kaiser (by now I've forgotten the precise reason why), so I reached Jonas with logs of the discussion and a fat wad of money, and politely asked him to make me Kaiser. So, that happened, and I had a thoroughly average reign. Harvey, in response to this, retracted his plans to start a nifty project for Shireroth (IIRC a tour a la the Jasonian one), as he'd seen that you can't put work into Shireroth without the danger that someone will take it and run.
Harvey, I want to find a way to make up for my mistake. I thought I was just having fun playing politics as usual and did not expect you'd take it so hard. I've already tried to get us to get over this. I tried to give you credit for the coup and you firmly denied your contribution had actually amounted to anything. I tried to make a "you change yourself and I change myself" bargain and you said that I hadn't stepped on just your toes but on half of Shireroth's.
What can I do? I can't change the past. I personally believe you overreacted, but I know I'm not very good at communicating what's basically emotional content, so I expect we'd just get into a huge multi-page argument if I tried to reason you out of anything. I'm not concerned about your opinion about me. I just want you to realise that I did not know I was making a mistake, and that I do now know that I made a mistake.
Harvey, is there anything I can do to get you to forgive Shireroth my mistake?
