Apologies For Writing A Dumb Thing

I let emotions and sleep deprivation get the better of me and wrote a dumb thing in the comments to BiTurbo228's F1 noses posts yesterday. After a day of sleeping on it, I realize it was dumb. My apologies to all who read it. I'd delete it, but you can't actually do that on Kinja, so instead I present a formal, public apology.

I stand by the point I made but I made it in a hilariously over-reactive way that came off as arrogant, selfish and motivated by a false sense of superiority. I've avoided doing this in the past and will after this mistake avoid this in the future.

I'm not going to link the comment here, but it's still up in that article if you'd like to go have a laugh at what an obnoxious ass I can be when I've only slept 3 hours in a 48 hour period.

I'm not sure what else to put here, so !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , which has been stuck in my head since Thursday.

I approve of this. A forum owner whom abides by rules that are set for everyone, and doens`t make his own little dictatorship. You are a pro.

Allegedly Shirley Manson was asked why they chose the name "Garbage", and said "Hootie and the Blowfish was already taken." By which I *think* she meant it was synonymous with garbage, but it was slightly inscrutable.

We all do stupid (read in Jeremy Clarcksons voice) sometimes, but the bigger man is the one who says sorry when he's done something dumb :)

So, no worries mate.

The band Pain ( the punk band that did the theme music for Jabberjaw not the Swedish hardcore "musical project" ) wrote in one of their songs that they chose the name Pain because "a life without pain is long string of errors repeated again and again."

As they say, shit happens.

We're all allowed a level of shit happening.

Because we got together and voted that time you were out of town. The thread was erased, so don't look for it, but you won the election.

Congrats.

If it's any consolation, I was unaware of your (or anyone else's) race or ethnicity here. I can't say the same for archduk max, though.

I heard he's Klan.

Its all fun and games till you vote someone off the island.

I don't even know what I'm saying anymore.

We didn't vote you off the island; we voted you as our involuntary role model citizen.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this, either, so...

Role model?

Does that mean no more blackjack and hookers?

:(

BlackJack is cool.

Hookers... Just make sure they are the classy kind. Not the junky meth head/strung out ones.
