An Apology

[silver_raccoon]

I am here to apologise for my horrible behavior in the forums in my last thread. I guess I got caught up in the forum game, It is so easy to be an unholy ass to people when hiding behind the keyboard, and I was.

I do appreciate this site, I wouldn't use it if I didn't, not to mention the people who work hard to keep it up. My better judgement was clouded by frustration and high emotions and I should have taken my own advice and slept on it before I made a post, but I didn't. I should have taken into account the weary eye that was probably cast upon that post having seen so many others like it, but I didn't.

I try to make it my goal to be a polite, caring individual. To try with all my might to not be "that guy". It is decidedly an uphill battle, especially with how passioniate I am about my art. But this week I have sorely failed.

For what it is worth, I am sorry. And not sorry because the thread got locked, I will not bring up this matter again. Not sorry because I upset a moderator (if I did) I am sorry because I acted in an incredibly embarrasing manner, something that goes against my personal principles, which are, Treat others as you would like to be treated.

I skipped over most of the posting party, so whatever I missed, I don't care.

One rule of thumb you might try is after posting a reply to a given thread, don't look at it again until your next login (minimum of an hour or two later).

That gives other people chance to respond, so it's not just you vs. the other guy.

Nice to see someone taking responsibility for their own actions. Now just learn from your mistakes and don't let it happen again.

...Who are you?

...Who are you?

I second that.

Posted a thread asking for Meerkats to be added to the Species list for the Mainsite in Site Discussion.

way to take responsibility. look at it this way at least they arent stuffing you into a cop car now. lol

also on a sidenote... with their recent popularity meerkats should be added to the drop-down list.

Apologies generally are insignificant things really. What was done is done.

I disagree. I'd much rather someone do something stupid and apologize than do something stupid and be arrogant about it.

Ohh, meerkat dude.

While apologies can be faked, to be sure, saying "I apologize" is a true act in and of itself. In this environment where we only have textual words to relate to one another, it's a powerful statement. Especially on a board populated by people who are generally whiny and defensive when confronted.

Well as far as that goes, If I apologize, I am being perfectly honest. If I am smiling happily and telling someone they did a good job.... It's about a 50/50 shot that I am being honest.
(and I'll bet I am not the only one here guilty of that)

Well, I seem to have missed something while I was gone. But I'm going to talk anyways! xD

Nah, apologizing is good. I need to do it more often...but usually when I decide to, whoever it is I'm ragging on irritates me again. -_- Yeah, I know. I'm a bitch.

Anywho...I didn't go through the whole thing, but the first page it actually didn't seem like you were the one causing trouble. But, well, I don't know what's on the other pages.

I always wondered about that fucking Apple.
