QED - an apology

[leander]

Ok, this is between me and QED. To all the shitstains who want to paint me with a simple brush, fuck off. This isn't about you.

QED, I owe you an apology. You have obviously done some very good things helping set up this message board, and I applaud that. I teased and taunted you and that was wrong. I was acting like an ass and I apologise.

I sincerely hope that you will take this mea culpa at face value and continue to give back to this community. Don't stop posting here just because of me.

And if you all want to know why I'm posting this, it's because of the attitude of CSRP. Simply put, his leadership is enough.

That's a start. Keep it up.

Oh, thanks for handing us that simple brush. Couldn't have done it without your help.

Sincerely,

A Shitstain

[leander]

Ok, that made me laugh. Keep it coming -- I'm sure I deserve it...

[Vinyl Turnip]

Sir, you are to be commended for your willingness to reach around and treat a colleague as you'd want him to treat you.


Side Note: What the fuck happened to this place? I check back after a couple of weeks and it's gone all Animal Farm.

[CRSP]

Watch it, Boxer.

[leander]

Watch it, Boxer.

I don't get it.

[CRSP]

Boxer was the horse from Animal Farm.

Ah, fair enough. It's been a long time since I've read it.

God, what a passive-aggressive sicko. You don't even have the balls to claim your own "apology", blaming it on the Captain insted. If QED were to accept your lame offering, it would be only a matter of time before you snipe at him again. I don't think he's a fool.

Fuck off. I posted this thread as an apology. Clear and simple. I made a mistake and I regret it.

You're threadshitting. Go fuck off.

Come on, let's give the guy a chance to show he's sincere.

Like I said elsewhere, it's not that we're feeding the troll; it's that the troll is eating us. And we have to endure it until someone who both cares about the board and has the power does something about it.

[Liberal]

Come on, let's give the guy a chance to show he's sincere.

As of this writing, he has 56 posts. Why don't you wade through them and come back with statistics on the probability of his sincerity.

Holy crap! I'm trying to apologise to QED and you're trying to make this thread about you. How fucking pathetic are you, Lib?

[Liberal]

Here is your sincerity.

You posted it in the Thunderdome and dropped your own little FU in the OP. I don't think you can claim threadshitting.

Liberal, you already have your own thread and Shirley's to bash Leander in, it might be politer to leave this one be.

[Liberal]

So in which threads is Leander permitted to bash people?

(Aside from every thread on the board...)

What was my "FU"?

[Liberal]

What was my "FU"?

Why don't you ask the "shitstains".

As far as I can tell, you both can do it anywhere you like in the T'Dome, I was hoping that maybe both of you could calm down a bit.

What was my "FU"?

This part literally included one.

... To all the shitstains who want to paint me with a simple brush, fuck off. ...

[leander]

I'm trying to apologise to QED. Liblab is hijacking this thread.

Can we please ban him?

Leander, I think this was a good post. There's no reason you or anyone has to act like everything's lovey dovey and we're all friends. To me, your apology sounds sincere since it doesn't go over the top and claim things that are simply unlikely.

I'm not QED, but thank you for offering this nonetheless.

[Myrnalene]

Leander, I am surprised and impressed that you chose to apologize to Q.E.D. It speaks well of you.

But you're still a nasty shit for your low blow attacks on both Pixiesnix and Liberal, using personal information you yanked in Pixie's case from another thread and in Lib's case from another board. If I had my way I'd like to see you apologize for that, too and us all just drop it.

I'd also like to win the Powerball and marry Christian Bale.

[hatesfreedom]

I'm all about Clive Owen

[ivan astikov]

Is that a euphemism?

[Myrnalene]

His face looks a bit too much like he has acromegaly for me.

ETA: Clive Owen. Damn you ivan with your interloping post!

[Exy]

look, it is drama on the internet

[ivan astikov]

His face looks a bit too much like he has acromegaly for me.

So, Mickey Rourke's off your "To Woo Or Do" list?

ETA: Clive Owen. Damn you ivan with your interloping post!

I'm just too nippy for ya!

[Exy]

ps: clive owen is HOTT

[Liberal]

I'd also like to win the Powerball and marry Christian Bale.

Powerball I can understand. But Bale? I hate to tell ya, but American Psycho was his autobiography.

[featherlou]

Here is your sincerity.

Anyone else expect this link to go to a picture of Liberal mooning us? :mrgreen:

[Liberal]

Okay, featherlou. Here's a big one for you!

[Chimera]

OH MY GOD!!

IT'S HIDEOUS!

Those are the bed sores.

I can accept your apology, if you'll explain the part I bolded. As written, it sounds like a condition. Perhaps you meant something else, but I can't take this to mean anything other than you're only apologizing because you believe CRSP's attitude and his good leadership qualities (a point I don't dispute, BTW). The problem I have with that is that either you believe you owe me an apology or you don't. If you do, nothing else is of consequence; simply retract that last sentence and we can move on. If you don't, I'd rather you simply withdraw your apology altogether and, again, we can move on.

I rather suspect you meant it (which I find pleasantly surprising) but I just want clarification.

No, I'm apologising because I went over the line. You've done a lot of good things for this place, and I was needlessly harrassing you. And I'm sincerely sorry for that.

The last sentence was merely to point out that it is in the spirit of CRSP that I apologise. He's trying to make this place different from the dope, and so I wanted to acknowledge that. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Liberal]

That's pretty good, Leander. Tip o' the hat to you, sir.

[Q.E.D.]

No, I'm apologising because I went over the line. You've done a lot of good things for this place, and I was needlessly harrassing you. And I'm sincerely sorry for that.

In that case, I unreservedly accept your apology. Thank you, it's greatly appreciated.

I won't apologise for getting on your case a little, but I'd like to say I respect your effort to make reparations.

[Liberal]

Way cool!

It makes me feel a sort of ping right in the center of my taint. From that spot, a quantum event not unlike the Big Bang erupts. The whole of my being is consumed at once by an electromagnetic surge. My feet throb and my brain sizzles as my muscles convulse. My heart races and my face contorts. I cannot breathe and yet I must exhale. A primal scream arises from my solar plexis and escapes in puffs of spit as growls and curses hiss through my clenched teeth. I shiver from the spasms that move over me in waves. I am now reeling with dizziness as the disorientation of reality begins to reemerge. I am drooling, and my breathless panting sprays a mist as I stare through droopy lids. Tiny firecrackers pop all over me as I tingle in a helpless state of aftershocks and relief. Now I am relaxed and fully spent. I wrestle mentally between lighting a cigarette and falling asleep. I decide I need a shower.

[Q.E.D.]

I feel a little dirty now.

[eleanorigby]

I miss all the drama. I don't even know what happened (that's ok--I don't need to know!).



Glad all the little birds in the nest agree once more....

[ShelliBean]

No, the best thing is that they probably don't agree but can move on and accept this apology as it stands. And I {heart} you for it and all that shit.

I'd also like to win the Powerball and marry Christian Bale.

Powerball I can understand. But Bale? I hate to tell ya, but American Psycho was his autobiography.

Lib - that only makes him hotter to me. Yeah, I got issues. Especially with cats that mess with fucking ATMs!

[Liberal]

After some time, I think the apology is bullshit. Just a lull between the passive and the aggressive. I've already gotten one PM from a good contributor who's leaving because of Leander. That's Leander's goal: to drive away as many good people as he can before our leadership finds the courage of its convictions. He will push all the buttons he can until people call for his banning, and then he will back off and apologize. There will be at least one 'Hey, give him a chance' moron each time. He will do this repeatedly. Our leaders are choosing a worthless agitator and troll over good contributors. This will be the downfall of the board.

[beebs]

Now I remember you. You're the guy who coined the phrase "For what is that which we call evil but the absence of good?"

If we were required to choose a side after a line was drawn in the sand, over who was "right" and "wrong" in the argument I would probably have to choose your side in this leander vs. Lib thing. But you're not helping me by not just letting this thing go.

[leander]

Lib, can you please take your crazy somewhere else?

To all others, I appreciate your kind words. And I'm glad that QED has taken my apology in the spirit in which it was intended. That's pretty much all that matters.

[Q.E.D.]

Would you like this thread to be closed now?
