OT A Formal Apology

[RipCityDSCPL]

I think we should just have one big official Apology Thread. We already have the Meltdown Thread. Seems like the two kind of go hand in hand.

BNM

Or call this thread what it really is; @Orion Bailey's sneaky little attempt at making his own Appreciation Thread and disguising it as an 'Apology to the Forum'.

It is pretty impressive on how many you got to heap praise on you and compliment you.

I was gonna tell him he's just not good at being a funny asshole. I didn't tell him, does that count as praise?

 

[julius]

Jeesh, I go away and apparently miss something big?

You should do what I do. Have horrible short term memory and barely remember who said what or why you would be upset with them about something. That way you can barely hold grudges or give a shit about stuff.

That said...

Why can't I see this thread?

Was @Orion Bailey wearing a tuxedo when making this apology? If not then it really wasn't formal.

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

Does a track suit count?

Ok, 3 things.

@Orion Bailey Hey man I've never seen you post anything that you should apologize for (unless I'm blind). IMO, you're one of the classy posters here, w/ good emotional IQ. Carry on...

 

[kjironman1]

I honestly think everyone just got a crappy attitude after the team didn't do well. Then we took it out on each other.
As soon as OKC lost things started to lighten up a bit.
Now if Chris Paul can just lose again in the second round that would be awesome!

OB is Daddy Warbucks! The resemblance is uncanny!

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

Yay!!! You're going!!!!

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I'd like to apologize to everyone I've ever offended, except for PapaG (the former poster, not the current player). That guy was a dick.

BNM

I’d edit this to say , “that guy’s posts are dicks”, but no, you had it right the first time.

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.

I only read the first post, but...when did you turn into a pussy?

Shit. At first glance i thought that was some ass cream. I had this whole nice story joke. Then i saw teeth whitening.
Oh man how my joke would have gone bad going from ass cream to the mouth

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.

You use to work for the post office?

Because just below you say tou never did. Are you playing me @Lanny

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.

I guess "Going Postal" is starting to lose significance.

 

[Orion Bailey]

So ya big jerk, when you’re done groveling (nicely done BTW) when are we gonna hook up for a beer to celebrate the new crib?? I’m just basically down the road.......and the Backstop Pub on N.Grant in Canby is a good place for a cold one.....

Soon. Im a bit overwhelmed with the house at the moment. Having an apartment built in the basement and flooring on the main And upstairs.

That is just down the street though. Maybe next weekend. Ill hit you up.

Trying to get the house done in time for a draft party. This time no basement. Much more room for more people.

Give me a few drinks and I'll knock down any walls you want knocked down and even some you don't want knocked down. The additional knocked down walls are kind of a free bonus.

demolition is great therapy!

 

[Lanny]

Yeah, but you get to wait until either you're ready or you have enough money for the project to do stuff. I refuse to do like I did in college and live off my credit card. Haven't paid any interest on a credit account in nearly 45 years. I've even owned my last home before I sold it and now own my new home. The only person I owe is the tax man. Well, I guess I'll always owe my wife for one thing or another. You'll have to get the details from her.

 

[Lanny]

I'll knock down any walls for the price of a few alcoholic beverages. It's a win win deal for me. Free therapy and a few alcoholic beverages. Good deal, huh.

 

[Lanny]

It has come to my attention that your apology has resulted in a plethora of different sub threads. I look forward to your next apology.

I'll be there again this year if I'm invited and can get time off work.
