English: I feel like I've been existing in a parallel universe for the past 15 minutes, Llywydd. What I would say - . What I'm about to say has no bearing on the previous debate, in my mind. I'm reflecting upon my experience and what I would like to say with regard to my views and this particular standards commissioner's report. It is my view - and I know, from what's just been said, that it's not the view of some people in the Chamber - that, when you are found in breach of the rules, it is right to apologise for breaching those rules. And I endorse therefore what, particularly, Andrew R.T. Davies said when he was speaking in his position as a member of the standards committee. The decision of the standards committee should be respected, and, if you don't respect it, it can have the effect, and will have the effect, of undermining the standards process in this place, and one which was set up by this Assembly in order to manage and measure standards that we would expect to meet. [ Interruption.] No, I'd rather not give way, thank you; I'd rather complete what I'd like to say. Before I get to my response, I'd like to reflect upon what it is like to be on social media as a politician. And I can only speak from the point of view of being a male on social media. I expressed a view, and what has caused the abuse I received - I expressed a view about independence for Wales. And it wasn't a particularly massively anti-view, it was a skeptical view, but a view that was open to future debate in this Chamber and other places. I received a torrent of abuse, from people of both genders, some anonymous, some not, and some of it was horrific - some of it was horrific. I received a direct message - and I gave my word to Adam Price I wouldn't name the person, but I received a direct message from a young Plaid member that drew attention to my appearance and was in the strongest possible language that you could imagine. And it was dealt with properly and appropriately by Adam Price, quickly, and I received a direct apology the next day. But it was an awful thing to receive. I've also had my mental health questioned, and my appearance questioned, on Twitter, and my friends at home have remarked upon the abuse that I've received. It's an incredibly difficult thing to do, when you're receiving a torrent of abuse simply for expressing a view - and seeing a constituent being abused for expressing a view - not to respond. I responded in the heat of the moment. I responded in the language that you've seen. I even managed to try out my Welsh in my response. And I was then reported for doing so. What I do regret is responding in that moment. And that is why, Llywydd, I've issued that apology to you for unparliamentary language. That apology is issued only to you and only for that breach of the rules, and only because I believe it is appropriate to do so with respect to the standards committee.
Welsh: Rwy'n teimlo fel pe bawn wedi bod yn bodoli mewn bydysawd cyfochrog am y 15 munud diwethaf, Lywydd. Yr hyn y buaswn yn ei ddweud - . Nid yw'r hyn rwyf ar fin ei ddweud yn berthnasol i'r ddadl flaenorol, yn fy marn i. Rwy'n myfyrio ar fy mhrofiad a'r hyn yr hoffwn ei ddweud am fy safbwyntiau ac am yr adroddiad penodol hwn gan y comisiynydd safonau. Yn fy marn i - a gwn, o'r hyn sydd newydd gael ei ddweud, nad dyma farn rhai o'r bobl yn y Siambr - pan fyddwch yn torri'r rheolau, y peth cywir i'w wneud yw ymddiheuro am dorri'r rheolau hynny. Ac rwy'n cymeradwyo, felly, yr hyn a ddywedodd Andrew R.T. Davies, yn arbennig, pan oedd yn siarad yn rhinwedd ei swydd fel aelod o'r pwyllgor safonau. Dylid parchu penderfyniad y pwyllgor safonau, ac os na fyddwch yn ei barchu, fe all, ac fe fydd, yn tanseilio'r broses safonau yn y lle hwn, ac un a sefydlwyd gan y Cynulliad hwn er mwyn rheoli a mesur safonau y byddem yn disgwyl eu cyrraedd. [ Torri ar draws.] Na, byddai'n well gennyf beidio ag ildio, diolch; byddai'n well gennyf orffen yr hyn yr hoffwn ei ddweud. Cyn i mi ymateb, hoffwn fyfyrio ar sut deimlad yw bod yn wleidydd ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol. Ac ni allaf ond siarad o safbwynt bod yn wryw ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol. Mynegais farn, a'r hyn sydd wedi achosi'r gamdriniaeth a brofais - mynegais farn ynglŷn ag annibyniaeth i Gymru. Ac nid oedd yn farn arbennig o wrthwynebus, roedd yn farn amheus, ond yn farn a oedd yn agored i ddadl yn y Siambr hon a lleoedd eraill yn y dyfodol. Profais lif o gam-drin geiriol, gan bobl o'r ddau ryw, rhai yn ddienw, rhai heb fod yn ddienw, ac roedd peth ohono'n erchyll - roedd peth ohono'n erchyll. Cefais neges uniongyrchol - a rhoddais fy ngair i Adam Price na fyddwn yn enwi'r person, ond derbyniais neges uniongyrchol gan aelod ifanc o Blaid Cymru a dynnodd sylw at fy ymddangosiad a gwneud hynny yn yr iaith gryfaf bosibl y gallech ei dychmygu. Ac aeth Adam Price i'r afael â'r mater yn briodol, yn gyflym, a chefais ymddiheuriad uniongyrchol y diwrnod wedyn. Ond roedd yn beth ofnadwy i'w dderbyn. Cwestiynwyd fy iechyd meddwl hefyd, a chwestiynwyd fy ymddangosiad ar Twitter, ac mae fy ffrindiau gartref wedi gwneud sylwadau am y cam-drin a gefais. Mae'n beth anhygoel o anodd i'w wneud, pan fyddwch yn cael llif o gam-drin geiriol am fynegi barn - a gweld etholwr yn cael ei gam-drin am fynegi barn - i beidio ag ymateb. Ymatebais yn fyrbwyll. Ymatebais yn yr iaith a welsoch. Llwyddais i roi cynnig ar fy Nghymraeg yn fy ymateb hyd yn oed. Ac fe gafodd cwyn ei wneud yn fy erbyn wedyn am wneud hynny. Yr hyn rwy'n edifar amdano yw ymateb yn y foment honno. A dyna pam, Lywydd, fy mod wedi ymddiheuro i chi am ddefnyddio iaith anseneddol. I chi yn unig y gwneuthum yr ymddiheuriad hwnnw, a hynny am dorri'r rheolau'n unig, a dim ond am fy mod yn credu ei bod yn briodol gwneud hynny o barch i'r pwyllgor safonau.
