In this thread, I admit that I was a bit quick to trounce The Asbestos Mango. While I stand behind my belief that Mango’s story was a more complicated and sarcastic than I personally would have made it, I should’ve taken a few moments to rephrase my opinion instead of immediately jumping down her throat. To her credit, she could’ve taken a cheap shot at me while the rest of the posters were ridiculing me for being a snotty, humorless jerk. Yet she didn’t.
This comes after a few days of thought on the matter. I do have quite a good sense of humor, but more importantly, I can admit when I’m wrong. To The Asbestos Mango, I humbly apologize.
Hey, good for you! Takes a big man to admit when he made a mistake.
Erm, you might want to e-mail The Mango to let her know you’re apologizing to her. Assuming you haven’t already done so, of course. It’s a big board, and not everyone checks all the forums regularly: she might not see this.
Alternatively, you could put a link in the other thread.
See, this is why people should stop changing their usernames! Had I known someone was ripping on Thea Logica, I could have used the years of positive associations I have with that name to immediately know that I should work myself into a Hulk-like frothing rage and snap my keyboard in half. Since I don’t know The Asbestos Mango from The Porcelin Gravyboat, I did nothing. My keyboard sits here intact, mocking me with its wholeness.
Actually I’m not a grandmother at all. I did have another handle for a while, but it was too close to my real name. It was before the last big crash, so it’s gone now anyway.
I miss your old sig about the prehensile tongues of giraffes, Giraffe.
Well, I would have done it for Thea Logica. I’m not so sure about this new mango persona…
[sub]Aw, shucks, who am I kidding? Next time someone gives you grief that keyboard is toast. Tabs and Caps lock flying everywhere.[/sub]
