I want to apologize (OT)

I didn't want to put this as as a FanPost because it's off-topic, so I put it as a "Chat" FanShot. I just want to apologize for some of my actions and some of the stupid/offensive/borderline racist things I've said here. Sometimes I speak without thinking about what I've said, on sheer impulse. This especially happens online to me. When I have the ability to post something instantly, I often abuse that capability and post without thinking. Also, sometimes when I'm angry, I post general bullshit online. I'm working hard to stop both of these things. If I say stupid shit, just ignore it, or get one of the admins to temporarily ban me or something. I'll do my part too, I'll step away from the computer when I get angry. I'll try to think before I speak. Sometimes things will slip through though, and I want to apologize in advance for that stuff. It's really a wonderful community here, and I don't want to turn into a pox for your site. I'll be trying my best to become a helpful member of the community here from now on.

ballsy post

i’d personally have preferred it more if you remained the punchline of almost every joke on this site, but it seems you’ve shown some semblance of dignity now.

Best of luck to you.

Twitter was founded in 2006

But if he’s actually 14 then I haven’t been his age since before facebook.

i.e the neolithic era of the internet.

When I was his age Al Gore hadn't invented the internet yet.

I don’t know that this thing would have handled it anyway…

Hola, Amiga!

I kinda miss the click-whirr of old disk drives. It was like, “Hold on, I’m processing over here.”

Not that far off.

Had never heard of it until this year, or maybe last year. I haven’t been 14 since before there was a Google, or even a Napster. I didn’t even have a computer when I was 14.

by BobbyV_Incognito on Dec 20, 2009 2:52 PM EST up reply actions

When I was 14...

Computers took up half a room…

Disco was king…

The Pirates (THE PIRATES!) were World Champs…

Billy Martin had only had 2 tenures as Yankee skipper…

Joe Torre was in his 2nd full year as Met manager…

good to see you're willing to take the high road

I have no problem with anyone willing to argue from a rational perspective. As long as your intention is to do so, you’re ok in my book.

by KeithsMoustache on Dec 20, 2009 2:08 AM EST reply actions

Nice job

I for one never wanted to drive you away, just wanted you to understand the virtue of thinking before posting.

by Endys Game on Dec 20, 2009 12:03 PM EST reply actions

Remember this...

there’s basically zero value in posting first (or second, or third) since you can reply directly to any comment.

So, hold that thought long enough to get up go get a glass of water and drink it. Then type it out.
