Hey Guys and Gals,
I posted this down the board aways but, I wanted all concerned to see my apology. So, here it is again.
I apologize for my outburst. I wish that I had not done it and perhaps offended everyone with it. I am sure that I only caused more trouble.
I just did not understand why those involved in that little spat of posts did not just pop right up and fix the situation before it sat around like a time bomb. Just waiting to hurt someone's feelings. I get the picture that it would have.
Now that I think about it, I am quite ashamed. I blew my stack. My own post was probably more immature and stupid than any other one I have read on the board. LOL! I guess sometimes I'm just a big old dumbass.
I could have handled it a hundred different ways. But, I did not. I am not ashamed at all for pointing out that that kind of behavior really sucks. I just realize that I could have handled it better.
I don't mind people doing many things, but to attack someone in that particular way, trying to make them feel not welcome and not part of the group and less important than others, when they are just reaching out to others for some fun or discussion, is a goddamn shame and it just made me very mad...
As far as what DEN said, yeah, there is some truth to it. But, I will always be a clusterhead, even if I lose my access to the internet or this board... And I do like DEN. Never had a problem with him either or the rest of you. I just plain out blew my stack.
I have many other stressors in my life and I guess everything culminated in me sitting down at my computer and my little beady eyes turned to slits and flames shot out of my ass and all of that. (I told you guys I looked like that bust which Johhny made!:)
I ashamed but, hell, it ain't the first time I've made an ass of myself. Just the first time I've really done it in front of you guys.
Actually, I am new to 'flaming' and all that. And DJ, I read your post in the post archives concerning the purpose of the board. The one where you had to close it down for awhile. I am sorry, DJ, all. I will not let it happen again.
Love, Michael B (Just another 'Punk Ass' I reckon)
