I apologize for my posts and conduct, I apologize if I was offensive and abrassive. It was not my intent to start anything, and I am not playing victim. This is my final post, and will be temporary.
I sent pvt. messages of apology to those I thought deserved it. once I finish removing my posts, I will leave. Again, I do apologize to you all.
I doubt anyone's feelings were hurt (outside of your own possibly). No need to leave. If you're gonna be that open about your life, and follow it with jokes and sarcasm, then you should expect jokes and sarcasm to come back.
I doubt anyone would have thrown out those jokes and barbs if you hadn't readily joked about everything.
This.
Just grow some thicker skin, CRH. These guys in here are brutal, even to me and GTS. Your politics are welcome here and that topic does come up every now and then. Dude, hold your own. As for your sex life, it was just an observation. I really have never seen someone be so open about it in a political board. Saying "I'm gay" is fine. We get it. My opinion? Fine, so what do you think about "_____"?
i agree. you just can't be too open on a board like this. this place can be brutal
I suppose, though, that I'm the only one who though the AIDS joke was way out of line, and that THEN publishing what was said in a PVT message as an apology, and an attempt to understand, being trashed again is perfectly alright. I stand by my apologies to the people who got them, and I'll ask GTS to deactivate my account.
I have a thick skin, and yea, I was far too open, but certain people were on the attack from the get go, and I'm sorry, they don't get to play victim. When there is only one gay person in here, and each message has something directed at said person, then yes, that message is a directed at that person.
And defending someone who fails to see anything wrong with making a joke like that, then playing the victim, like it's my fault... no, I want no part of it anymore. I was as least kidding about myself... but it's fine to see a white chick simulating felatio on a black dude with a sprite bottle, and a bunch of chicks nearly naked...
But I forget, when I overstep the line, I get nailed to the wall for it... like thinking that it was value voter summit FredPhelps wanna be...that is being defended.
"I find it funny that you would defend and advocate a lifestyle that gave you a disease that will kill you."
HIV/AIDS effects straight people too. It's not a homo-disease. But I guess could be wrong about that.
Now, tear that statement apart, and show how I'm out of line for that thought process.
God bless you, everyone.
