I had an unfortunately bad day due to some local politics yesterday and was quite the angry person last night, which you might have noticed due tot he fact that I was still awake at 2:30 in the morning and hurling insults at fellow members. That DOES NOT give me the right to be insensitive or arrogant. I, especially me, being a moderator, should have held myself to a higher standard of behavior, but I failed last night. I failed miserably[V][B)]

Nothing justifies my unwarranted personal attack on you in light of our spirited discussion yesterday. I am completely in the wrong in that vein and take full responsibility for my actions. What I said was hurtful and no doubt very upsetting to you and your family. I will remove my comments from the post and am placing this here as my formal apology for being an azzhole of the highest order.

You have no doubt been through some very hard times and I will not attempt to say that I understand your hardships. Please accept my sincerest apologies for my poor behavior, I woke up this morning and felt quite like the jerk that I was. I knew damn good and well I was wrong, and have been trying to figure out just what to say to right my wrongs. This isn't coming out in superfluous form as I would have hoped, but it is heart felt and 100% the truth.

Once again, I sincerely apologize for being a *. You did not deserve my unwarranted attack. I am very sorry for my actions, I could not have been more wrong.

If you are ever coming through here, I would like the chance to buy you a cup of coffee or a beer. I would like to think that would be possible, but I completely understand if you wish to write me off, as it would be well deserved.

Humbly Yours,
JustC

    We all have our moments, and while I didn't see, nor was the brunt of any of your comments, this sounds like a sincere apology to me. Good form![:)]
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Wow!
    You are a Man! That is one heck of a nice apology. It takes a real man to do what you did.
    I wish BSR would buy a dash cam!! stir, stir...........[:D]
    Happy weekend to all of you,

    Sometimes our emotions get the better of us.It's not uncommon at all for a member of any forum,to take out their angst on other members of the forum.
    I missed the entire ordeal(thankfully) but,I also know that you are a good person.
    What U have posted here,is about all a man can do to try to right an obvious wrong.
    I would imagine that you are, at this time, feeling worse about yourself than BSR is.I hope so anyway...
    Their is a reason all newbies here are warned,right away,to thicken their skin,don hip boots and get ready to be hammered.
    BSR has been around this forum for a good while.I believe he's man enough to accept your apologies and let bygones be bygones...
    NOW: Put yourself in a 7-DAY time out and I will REALLY respect you!![8D]

    Nice enough apology, & probably heart-felt, but to me, a man doesn't need to start it out with (hey, look at me) "here I am being a man..." not looking to start an argument, just sayin'

    That was a pretty good one. Have to say, John Cleese still holds the top spot though. He did his while hanging upside down out a window.

    Hard to beat that score...

    [Otto dangling Archie out of a window]
    Archie: All right, all right, I apologize.

    Otto: You're really sorry?

    Archie: I'm really really sorry. I apologize unreservedly.

    Otto: You take it back?

    Archie: I do. I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.

    Otto: [thinks a moment] Okay.

    Been an azzhole a few times my self and had to apologize on here. Sometimes we just get caught up in something so stupid and make a fool of ourselves, by saying something we didn't mean. Hell, we are family here so we are going to say stupid things and get pissed at each other. If we didn't, we wouldn't be human. I think you manned up and did a nice apology. I just got done apologizing to burpfire for being an * towards him. I was just in a bad mood one day and took it out on him. We all do it. Time to move on and I am sure BSR is not going to stay mad, he is not that kind of guy. Oakie

    Thanks JustC and thanks for the call today, like I said on the phone sometimes the conversations here are just words and sometimes they are not. I've become friends off the forums with several people here and I like to keep it that way. We all have one thing in common but aside from that many of us are different and thats what makes this place nice. Yeah, I like to agitate sometimes and I lile to take certain things that happen to me and see how others react, in the end ut us usualy fun. Also lile I said, this forum changed my life forever, it took one email from a forum member to start a chain of events that not only changed my life but changed me as well. Not all of that change was good, a divorce, seperates children, some heartache and while I hate to admit this, a battle with PTSD and nitemares. This all happened from bein a member here, if it wasnt for this place who knows where I would be or have done. Some things however are sacred to me, while some of you only see dysfunction when it comes to my children I love them more than life and would do anything for them. Dorothy tried to alienate Ashlee, Robert and Kenny, told them lies and pulled a disapearing act hiding Kenny from me. That has been a long emotional battle that is still ongoing and when someone puts my battle and emotions in a negative manner whether in person or words on a screen it hits me like a punch to the face. Again, thank you.

    Now, gearheaddad I do have a dashcam but it sucks and erases video even if I hit protect, worst $39 at Walmart I ever spent!

    Lonnie, let me know if I can help with the custody situation. My father is a very intelligent person versed in many things (finance, legal matters, religion, etc). He can provide a lot of help, and if nothing else, he has a way of screwing peoples heads on straight, in very short order. He has a calming way of interpreting and understanding a person's thoughts, that is uncanny. He can literally make you feel better about life, in only a few minutes. One of the benefits of his study of Buddhism. I used to think it was corny, until he worked his magic on me during a very harrowing time in my life.

    I have you saved as a contact in my phone, and you have my number now. Call me anytime you want, even if you just need to vent. I am here for you[8]

    Find a reason to smoke through here, and you have a bed to sleep in and a dinner on the table.

    Well handled all around. [^][^]

    I know I have gone off half cocked a time or two. I think we all need to just remember that as much as we are a family, we are also on the InterWeb and so don't necessarily know all that is going on in someone's life outside the GB Forum. Some care taken to keep that in mind will probably help us avoid stepping in it too often.

    Thanks for getting things ironed out, Gentlemen.

    BSR is much nicer on the phone than he is on here [;)] It's been about 6 or 7 years since our last conversation that lasted a few hours about the sand box and I am patiently waiting for the day he has a load to minnesota and we get the chance to grab a beer at Hooters.

    Right now, I can't think of anything that can piss me off more than local politics.

    I was chided by many for being against our cities school district separating from the county and forming an independent school district {ISD}. I opposed vehemently and was vocal about it saying property taxes would have to be raised significantly to support an ISD.

    Mayor and Aldermen etc said taxes would remain the same and promised they could go independent without raising taxes.

    Despite my opposition, We have an ISD. It has now been one year and the Mayor an Aldermen are now saying we must raise property taxes significantly to support the new ISD.

    Wasn't on last night. Felt like crap and I'm just a tad better today.

    We ALL have our moments... You're human not a machine.
    The fact that you recognized your err'd ways, speaks volumes.

    KUDOS to you JustC... !

    Have a GREAT Day! [;)]
