> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Anthracite \* > \*\*All other things aside, bitching about the “sockpuppet” is lame. The language used in the mistaken “bowpepe” posts seems right in line with his normal language (i.e., no attempt to hide persona), refers blatantly to posting earlier, was immediately owned up to as being a mistake, and has a logical explanation with precedent. \*\* Agreed, but if a spouse is jumping into the fray to defend a loved one, the honest and right way would be if that spouse started out with “I know **Clint** in real life, and what he means is…” I have no reason to believe that **bowpepe** is not Clint’s wife, but if so, why the lie of curious innocence. My main problem with this thread, however, is that **Clint** cannot quit taking shots at others, complaining about other’s bitching and referring to “class” as if this board has none. ---

Just curious, whats the deal with calling us ‘mudda fukkas’? I’ve seen a million pit threads with “\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ you godamn shit eating fucknugget!!!” Why would that possibly be a bannable offense? I thought **Clint** said it in jest, but even if he didn’t, aside of possibly voiding his apology, I don’t see the harm. Am I missing something? ---

One reason I used the “goofy” spelling of “mudda fuggas” was to make it more like a poke in the ribs than saying “You mother fuckers!” I understand that everything I type will be scrutinized. No problem. ---

I’ll take the apology as is, with the understanding that “I won’t do it again” is the focus. ---

mudda fuggas is a joke and a damn obvious one. Apology or sorts given and accepted by some and not by others. Fair enough but some people in this thread just seem to be grasping at anything to be offended about. ---

I ain’t buying it Clint. You wife just happens to join the SDMB at a time when you are proving yourself to be the asshole we accused you of being? The two of you seem to share the same love of overused commas? Did she not say anything to you after she happened to run across this post? Did she tell you she was going to sign up for the SDMB and post in your defense? She didn’t mention it at all? After all, you said that you **“just realized”** right after you posted under the “bowpepe” screen name. That’s convenient. Are you saying that she registered, wrote her post, left the computer still not mentioning anything to you, and then within 40 minutes you come back to the computer, took the time to read posts entries that were new to you then wrote another post that included a bit of coding? Within a 40 minute period? You were playing musical computer chair but didn’t have any conversation about the SDMB? Just call me overly suspicious (I blame it on my obsession with True Detective magazine when I was a kid and my continued love of true crime books), but that just seems odd to me. I also don’t think you will be around much longer. Your so called apology was sarcastic and lacked any sincerity. You continue to act like an asshole and admitted to troll and jerkish like behavior. You have also (at least in my opinion) used a sock. I don’t care if you stay or go but my suggestion is that if you really enjoy this board and want to continue participating, you get your shit together and make it work. Otherwise I will lay odds that you are heading our the door. ---

Guys and gals. Looking to pluck the feathers from the half baked apology is pointless. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that it was his wife who registered. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that he exaggerated his opinions. but it will take more than this thread to accept an apology. Prove it with actions Clint. ---

Regarding your apology, some with take it others will not. I really haven’t been involved with you enough to feel strong enough to accept it or not accept it. It’s neutral to me. I’m just giving you my unsolicted advice that you might want to get your shit together if you want to stick around. That and the fact that your “wife” act didn’t fly with some of us. Ahhh well, happy posting. ---

Otherwise I will lay odds that you are heading our the door. \*\* Diane, here’s what happened: We have one computer, one desk and one chair. I was reading through this thread when my wife (Bowpepe) reminded me that it was time to round up my son and begin his bath. I got up and walked away from the computer with this thread still showing. Like every other night, she stayed downstairs to unwind while I gave my son a bath. By the time he’s done playing, splashing me with water, etc., at least 30 minutes have passed. Then I have to put his PJs on, brush his teeth…you get the idea. Anyway, once my half of the nighttime ritual is complete, my wife lays with him until he falls asleep. Nothing was said about her registering. During this time, I head downstairs for some unwinding of my own. I sit in front of the computer, and this thread is still showing. Only after posting a reply do I realize that I’ve posted under the name “Bowpepe”. I asked my wife if she registered under that name, and she said that she had. I immediately logged in under my name to explain what had happened. That’s how it happened, take it or leave it. ---

We will see I guess. As to you “tolerating many personal insults” and “eating a sh\_t sandwich” over “this” don’t try to act like you are some kind of victim here, as I doubt anyone is buying it. Well, maybe “bowpepe” Time will tell whether you are going the AceofSwords / Joe\_Cool route or not. Up to you, many people have gotten off to rocky starts and rebounded. Still, many more have gotten off to rocky starts, then melted down. ---
