I just wanted to make a thread to apologize to all the people I said confrontational shit to. I know this is the internet and I don't really know anybody personally, but I still feel like shit when I get into altercations with people because I am generally a really peaceful person. So mainly I apologize to HG. I said some nasty and evil things to you and I am sorry for that. To Geno: I am sorry for calling you a tool. I was pissed because I was fed up with being called out so much. I am sorry. You seem like a really nice and awesome person.
I am not doing this as an attempt to fit in on this board or anything. That would be stupid. It’s not my personal goal to "fit in" in cyber space. I am not that desperate for company. I think I got off on the wrong foot because when I made my first post on this board I didn't understand the personalities or landscape of the board. I didn't have any idea what I was stepping into. So I took everything personally because I wasn't used to all the different jokes, personalities, and humor. I felt like I was being attacked and my pride stepped in the way of my rationality. I apologize. You all seem like really awesome people with a lot of great music knowledge and that always makes for good company.
-SWITCH

I couldn't have worded that better myself:) No hard feelings to any of you guys. Drew and HG, that includes you. I'm sorry if you were offended by anything I said.

I am using my own words. I just summed it up into four sentences. Haha. No really, that is exactly the way I felt. I have nothing to add to it.

Apologies accepted. I did the same thing once upon a time. Hating is over. But don't get uptight if I use some of the funnier things you've said as a meme, hancho - the high drugs thing in particular is irresistible.

Honeybucket Hancho was trying to get people's goat just yesterday in a pretty dispicable way on the Barbs thread. Fuck him for now.

Yeah. I don't have any beef with Hancho because I have never been in an argument with him but I was trying to be sincere and it kind of ruins the whole process if someone jumps on my apology train like its an open boxcar for hobos.

As a former hobo, that's totally disrespectful and not cool. Apology acceptance retracted.

Hey Switch.
Look man, I did the same thing when I was new to this board. Ask anyone, I was... well, pretty much the same as I am now, but I was the new guy and I was really confrontational and disresepectful. People tried to run me off too. It takes a balance, and it takes not being the new guy. You're alright and you're obviously getting a feel for this place. Honestly it took longer for drew to chill out than it took you, so don't beat yourself up about it.
Hancho's a good counterpoint for you; that guy really is... Well, my thoughts on hancho are in the Barbs thread. Suffice to say, hancho, I do not accept your apology. Switch, we're cool. You're the only other person I know who has read The Circus of the Earth and the Air. Thanks for being cool.

I appreciate the gesture. All I ask is that you learn from our criticism and take the suggestions I've given you in other threads. It looks like you've already begun that by posting less frequently. So, good job.

As a former hobo, that's totally disrespectful and not cool. Apology acceptance retracted. It was a metaphor. I have respect for some hobos. I used to work at the Fred Meyer deli in the Lake City district of Seattle. All the homeless people from the neighborhood would come and sit in the dinning area. I used to be their best friend in the whole joint. They would tell me all of their stories, some of them being extremely crazy, but I was the only one that would listen. Then the store manager would come and run them out. If I ever write a novel some of those people will be characters in my novel because they were just fascinating. This one lady would tell me that her son was a prince of some island country and he had many beautiful wives. Just random stories. Some of them were pretty mean though, but thats how it is in all class levels in society. I know you were just joking but I had to make sure you knew that I am not a hobo hater. |

But don't get uptight if I use some of the funnier things you've said as a meme, hancho - the high drugs thing in particular is irresistible. Haha, no offense taken. I can't believe I typed that... When I saw you quote it I was like "Oh, fuck. I set myself up for that one." Anyways, I'm glad the hating is over between me and you. Friendly D, honeybucket hancho has a nice ring to it. Seriously, I think I'm going to use it. Please read up in the barb section that is sort of my deep apology to HG. I don't expect him to like me afterwards. But if I've ever been more sincere about anything on this board its in todays posts. |

I agree, Snorlax - it is just the internet. Hancho crossed a line, though. My reefer is strictly not for hancho.
