And thanks for the support everyone.

Honestly. It took being called a liar that got under my skin. Once I realized that I was actually pissed, and then realized that Cup doesn't know me, It dawned on me how others might be getting pissed at me.

I really had no idea, because I really don't care overall. But once I saw the light that I was like... "whoa... IF I feel this way, then maybe others feel this way about me."

That's when I realized I needed to fix this. My humor wont go away, it will just be channeled in a more constructive manner moving forward. :)

Best post I've seen in a long time. Which begs the question, why is he still here? I think it's to torture us until we reach our breaking points. I don't know about you, but I'm mighty close to breaking. And don't forget, I use to work for the Post Office.

So did my father. 22 years in and I can tell you, the talk about going Postal is legit. He was his offices union rep and the stories Ive heard.

Plus, my father was bit by a dog on the job and it took out his achilles tendon, and he has never been able to walk the same. They tried to fire him because he couldn't perform his duties. In the 80's and 90's the post office was run like a prison ward.

I am sure you have a few horror stories about the PO.

FYI, I'm completely calm whilst delivering snark...

I'm an engineer. I never worked for the post office. I had a buddy who use to tell that to people when we worked at Boeing so they'd lay off us. Boeing could be a brutal place to work.

By the way, I was an Area Representative at Tektronix which had no union plus at Boeing which had a union, SPEEA, for both the technicians and the engineers.

When I last lived in Lake Oswego in the late 70s, the mailman used to have a walking route. You could chat with him as he handed you your mail. Now, it's all done by delivery vehicle and I get a whole lot more mail delivered to the wrong address. I miss the old days.

The guy who owned the dog that crippled your dad ought to be spending the rest of his life on the wrong side of some iron bars and wearing stripes, perhaps even breaking large rocks into small rocks. That story really pissed me off.

When I was a boy, we had an extremely large German Shepard. From a puppy we trained that dog to NEVER growl, bark or charge at any human being. You could come over to our house and reached in his mouth and pulled a raw beef bone out and he would have chased after it with his tongue licking at it. Had he shown any aggression, my dad would have done away with it. All that dog knew was love.

I've gotta get off this subject 'cause the more I think about it the more I want to take it out on Sly. You know, kind of like a whac-a-mole.

So, see, Sly is good for something.

You know what this means right? You’re going to sensitivity training with me

I don't think there's a sensitivity trainer alive who could handle the both of you at once.

Plus, I'm sure you are both thinking of 'skiing' when I said that last bit. And no, that's not what sensitivity training involves.

It has become apparent to me that my behavior on this forum has really painted me in a corner and made it near impossible to tell whether I am serious or not.
In my fun and games over the years I have played roles in an attempt to provide entertainment and humor to this forum.

It has come to light that I have played these games far too long and far too hard and am at a point where I am mostly misunderstood.

This is 100% on me. I own it. Unfortunately, I was blind and ignorant to this growing issue until I actually found something in this forum that truly got under my skin and brought out actual emotions.
In my attempt to explain it, I realized that there is no way for me to show how serious I am because I have played games acting serious about so many things on here and cried wolf far too many times.

With so many new members, I could see people digging through the history and painting a picture of how they view me based on how I am act on this forum and form an inaccurate opinion of me.

Sometimes it is easy to just chug along playing games you find fun, not realizing how serious others are taking it because you don't take it serious yourself.

My ignorance on this has gotten the better of me and I apologize for this.


I finally took a post serious, being called a liar, and realized that this defamation of my character, regardless of whether it is true or not, is of my own doing.

Though I do believe it to be very serious when discussing another persons honesty and that shouldn't be joked with (all we really have in life is our word), I have no one to blame for this but myself.

I apologize to all for my behavior, thinking everyone else was having fun, just because I was.

I will always be a jokester and take very little serious. This is me and if you have met me in person, you know this. However, on this forum, I will no longer try to be the forum comedian, and will work on improving my communication with other members to help provide a lighter atmosphere.

Again, If you are one who has been annoyed by my antics and not entertained, I apologize. That was not my intent.

Sometimes its best to just take the high road and apologize whether it was intentional or not. Sometimes it goes a long ways in the other entity understanding you. Sometimes without an apology, the misunderstanding continues.

I no longer want this misunderstanding to continue. Will I lose my humor? Hell no. Will I continue to direct my humor at people in a narcissistic, condescending way around here? Hell no.

If I am going to insult someone for comedy sake, it will only be people I know they know I am joking, or it will just be myself.

Really this mostly has to do with how long I chased HCP around here. Did I have any ill intent? No. Did I go way over board and let to go way too long? Yes. Many people over time have voiced their annoyance with it, and I dismissed it because I was having fun. That isn't fair to the forum.

You're a good poster and I enjoy you being yourself. Sometimes it's just easier and better to push the "ignore" button for certain individuals.

There's two things about me that are sensitive. Only one of which I'm worried about. FORTUNATELY I FOUND A SOLUTION
