I'VE MADE ANOTHER DISCOVERY!
 
In our own minds we are invariably the hero. We see ourselves as imbued with logic, and the people surrounding us as needing the benefit of it. In fact, we are more like animals than we care to admit. When complimented or given the opportunity we will puff up with pride and attempt to manufacture similar circumstances where we can be the hero again. A victory is a victory, be it large or small. When confronted we lash out and attack.

I have been reading a lot of my old posts. To my own horror, for the most part. I have been a giant dick. A giant, glistening cock who aimed to destroy who ever came in my sights with my superior intellect. Unfortunately, my intellect isn't so superior. I'm closing in on 30, working in an industry that I never had the slightest bit of interest in, with no room to advance. I have advanced as far as I can go. I am on the board of directors in a company that does something I could give a shit less about. I have half assed my way through almost everything and the only reason I have succeeded at this is the fact that people of even moderate intelligence don't even attempt my job. They have better things in store. And through all of this I have still considered myself to be better than you. I am not. I'm a fuck up and I never should have treated most of you the way I have. Were I not a fuck up I still should never have acted the way I did.

I apologize.
There are quite a few of you, so don't be upset if I miss you. However, I will attempt to name the people I can most remember being unbearable to.
Mudling
Spirrow
Jordan
Max
Mojo
Havoc
Splat
Rich
Alcar
Zozo
Patrick

I'm drawing a blank. I know there are more. Anyhow, this isn't an attempt to get attention and it isn't a cry for help. It's an old fashioned apology. I can't promise to be an angel. I'm still me and I have a strange sense of humor but I can say that I won't go out of my way to hurt anyones feelings.

I do believe this calls for :tard:

Leto 12-01-2008 06:00 PM

as sincere as that post was, it didn't contain the word 'cunt'.

chin up

Mac Sirloin 12-01-2008 06:16 PM

Very modest.

I didn't expect that from someone from Jersey.

Bullet Magnet 12-01-2008 06:19 PM

No no, we like the cock!



...er

You've made a certain someone's dreams come true!

And OANST; I think it's probably a bigger complement that I'm not on that list than if I were. Cheers.

Daxter King 12-01-2008 07:51 PM

You always seemed so happy being a dick to people.



lol no Cullen Heath apology....

Jordan 12-01-2008 11:23 PM

You were mean to me!?

Nemo 12-02-2008 12:00 AM

I like being a dick.

I seem to remember something from when you first came here. I don't know. It all sort of runs together.

Havoc 12-02-2008 07:05 AM

Takes a man to admit his mistakes and wrongs. Go you. yet you still misspell my name...

Fixed it.

Bullet Magnet 12-02-2008 07:15 AM

You had an image, man. Then you went and grew up!

Havoc 12-02-2008 10:05 AM

He had to grow up sometime. And for a man, 30 is the perfect age to finally grow up :p.

I am not 30. I am approaching it.

Havoc 12-02-2008 11:13 AM

Same difference.

Same difference.

The closer you get to 30 the more important the difference.

Next you're going to tell me Tiger fucker is spelled wrong?

fixed?

Havoc 12-02-2008 01:58 PM

Well no because if that's a name it should be Tiger Fucker, with a capital F.

DOUCHE

Anyways, lifestyle-affecting revelations are always satisfying. Is this an all-encompassing philosophy, or does it apply just to the forums?

Or maybe the forums are the only place where it's legitimately applicable.

It's legitimately only applicable to my online persona. I for some reason cultivated this personality here that I have never really had in real life. I mean, I have the same sense of humor but I am always careful to avoid making people feel bad about themselves. But then I come here and I'm like "Hey, you're a fucking moron". I think it has more to do with the facelessness of the internet than with a fear of reprisal. I have little to fear in the way of bodily harm from most people. It's just that I didn't really see most of you as real people. You were merely the means to me feeling better about myself. And I don't feel good about that. I think I always knew it. I just didn't let myself see it.

Strike Witch 12-02-2008 03:40 PM

I think it's a good thing made even more respectable by the fact that you really didn't need to for us, because we put up with you like that anyway.

To righteousness. *toasts*

Anonyman! 12-02-2008 05:03 PM

I believe I deserve multiple apologies due to the abuse you put me through.

Maybe I just arrived a little late, but you never seemed to be that offensive. Then again, I read the Cullen Heath thread and... wow. I did laugh though. Still do.

Oddsville 12-02-2008 08:42 PM

Don't beat yourself up. Everyone has had moments in their lives when they were complete dicks to people that didn't really deserve it *although everyone here dose*. It happens, but you were man enough to come on here and admit that you were wrong and that takes alot.

So yes, I forgive you for that time you drove to my house, spit in my face, held my family hostage, and had me preform various acts for their freedom. I forgive..

Zozo the Zrilufet 12-03-2008 07:11 AM

Err, thanks:p, I have the memory of a goldfish anyway, I was bugged at some points but nowadays I'm not really bugged.

Strike Witch 12-16-2008 02:33 AM

So what is your job, anyway, OANST?

OANST 12-16-2008 06:52 AM

I am Director of Leads at a home improvement company. It means that I am in charge of handling and finding prospective clients.

Leto 12-16-2008 11:59 PM

See, I just thought you were a professional cunt.

used:) 12-17-2008 04:41 PM

You certainly climbed the corporate ladder quite quickly, at least it seems that way. I mean, last time you informed me of your job situation you were at front desk browsing OWF instead of helping customers.
