A brief apology

The Hierophant · 09-15-2003, 03:09 AM

Ordinarily I would not attempt to be a premodonna, but I'll make an exception this time. This thread is my apology to the people whose threads I have constantly derailed, whose beliefs I have both directly and indirectly mocked, and whose time I have generally wasted by my incoherant ranting over the past couple of months.
I won't go too deeply into reasons or offer any excuses, yet I shall say that various factors in my 'real' life have lead to increased levels of aggression, stress and irrational behavior. I'm trying to deal with these problems as best I can.
Most of you probably havn't even noticed my posts or have learned to simply ignore them anyway, yet it is for those people whom I have personally offended/distressed that I offer my sincere apologies. I won't be back until I've cleaned myself up.

Take care.
Merci, and adieu.

I've learnt to deal with people far worse than you. Even on IWF where discussions are mostly civilized. The fact that you post this apology now confirms my suspicions that you were only very stressed/in a bad place.
You reminded me a bit of someone who just stopped smoking in your posts.
Rest assured, most people can tell the difference between a nice guy in a bad place (you

) and someone who's always been a complete jerk (doesn't last longer than 50 posts on IWF

)
So [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] for your honesty and be sure to post an "I'm back thread" when you've dealt with your issues which I know you can [img]smile.gif[/img]

What's all this about then? [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] I hadn't noticed anything wrong with you, Aaron, if that helps...just another bloke having his say. I thought you were quite balanced, actually. Just a typical sheepshagging Kiwi.

In any case, good luck with things and hope we'll see you back when you're ready. Don't say adieu, say a demain, or even hasta l'huego...adieu's only for funerals.

Heya Aaron, no worries! [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]smile.gif[/img]
Do stick around, whether here or on Panda, and you know how the PM button works

(yeah, I do too, since I should really be replying to your last, but I've been ill with flu - sowwy!)
Anyway take care mate, hope you can work things out! *hugs*

wellard · 09-15-2003, 05:57 AM

I don't know you or your personal life, but I do read your posts and IMO *for what it's worth* you are being very tough on yourself. Sure you offer a different perspective on things, but alway interesting [img]tongue.gif[/img] and I've never noticed aggression

Anyway, hope to see you back after a little holiday. Are you still going fruit picking in Oz or NZ? Either way, TTFN [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

I hope you clear up whatever is giving you trouble quickly, then. [img]smile.gif[/img] We'll save a spot for you at the next Current Events party.

Obviously this is an excuse to disappear till after the Rugby World Cup to avoid the ribbing I'll be dishingout to all and sundry in the southern hemisphere where men are men and sheep get nervous!!

I can honestly say that I don't know what your're talking about. I don't remember any posts where you have shown agression or mockery. Either I have not read them thoroughly (shame on me), have a thick skin or missed them completely.

In any case I'm sure you know what is best for you. See you around.

Zero Alpha · 09-15-2003, 08:39 AM

IMO the general concencus seems to be your a good guy. not even nit-picky little me noticed aggression in your posts. if you want to know what aggression looks like, there are forums out there that cointains flames such as you would not belive.
