Author Topic: pimpjoe and all the others--response to "uncalled for" (Read 348 times)

I responded to the "uncalled for" post but I wanted to a thread so that it would get seen. I apologize for my response to the rook pony, I was a little heated and had a few beers in me. I am fairly new to the game, only been here since AW went down and I generally keep to myself, and try and help newbs when I can. I have also been hitting these boards trying to help out with anything network related. I earn a living as an Enterprise Network Consultant. I don't want a bad rep for 1 instance of language. Accept this apology and lets put my childish act behind us.

Takes a big man to apologize, thx rounder

I think we've all cussed in the text buffer on one occasion if not more, I know I have. There's alot of emotion in this game and sometimes it's hard to contain them when you feel something wasn't "right".
The difference between the good players who are liked and the dweebs is that the good players know when sit back, relax, and make ammends.

Too late. The picture has been taken and posted. Your actions have been deemed reprehensable by the morally concerned individuals on this forum. There can be no retribution.

Most of the rest of us understand that these things happen from time to time. We accept your apology and realize this is a pretty cool thing to acknowledge in this manner. But to be honest... we weren't really THAT offended in the first place.

Maybe the moral of this story is that you should find more edifying ways to tell someone to perform that particular function. If its well said, the moral majority seems to back off. A term that seems to be acceptable is to ask the individual to peform auto-self-felatio.

It should also be noted that people will continue to shoot you while you are in your chute. The reason is quite simple: its fun and can illicit the response generated by yourself.

The only thing more fun than a witch hunt is illiciting the response that necessetates it:D

Plus the fact that bailers sometimes hang around on the ground and give check-6 calls to their buddies.

Cool beans, it takes some big balls to apologize the way you did.

Now jot down all the names of those who just *had* to post their high-and-mighty opinions....and when they slip up and do as you did, post a little screenshot

That little ditty about living in glass houses comes to mind

Muhahaha

rounder..........welcome to the community, bud! We all get bent out of shape from time to time, 'specially when we let the things that affect us in RL carryover into our "game mood". I fly this game to have fun and let off stress. Only times I really fail to accomplish that is when I drag my RL baggage with me........then I only make things worse, not only for me, but for all who encounter me online.

this wasnt meant to be a witch hunt like it turned out to be. thats why i covered your name up. and it wasnt meant just towards you. i've seen TONS of it lately and that one was the last straw. i really dont have a problem with the language myself...heh ask the guys on the assassins RW...im horrible. its just that i know that there is a lot of players that have either quit or just plain wont play AH because of stuff like that.

Rounder:

Thanks but, in a sense, you're not the kind of person I am most concerned about

You are a man who stands up and faces things head on, there are others who do not, IMO.
Thanks for doing this, IMO it speaks well of you and what you are about
