I shit in your thread. It was a Dick Move. I’m sorry. My feeble explanation: I was surfin’ The Dope and after an hour or so, I trekked across your thread about Lyft. I saw it had about 200 views with no responses and my curiosity got the best of me and I clicked on it. Never heard of Lyft. Why didn’t anyone have anything to say about it? What the hell? Anyway, I totally failed at the purpose of the thread and responded to about 4 words and missed the point entirely and took a big shit on your thread. I’m sorry. My later replies escalated the shitstorm and derailed the whole goddamn thing. Totally my bad. I like being a member of The Dope community and appreciate the opportunity to contribute (but not enough to pay 😃 , and most of my shit is drive-by witticisms, at least to me ) but will admit when I’ve been an asshole. So, **MeanOldLady** , I’m sorry. And if your ever out here in The Middle of Nowhere, I’d be happy to buy you a beer. And we can talk about shit. I might even understand some of it. 😉 ---

Wow, not a traditional pit thread, but a thread set up to pit the OP. Utter contrition. I at least forgive you. A link to the offense would be sweet. ---

So I for one am glad that the thread was brought to my attention. ---

I was that thread and I wondered if you’d just been stung by a thousand bees or something, OP. Or maybe there was a new grump enhancement pill on the market. ---

MOL should Uber to the bar & the OP should Lyft. Then they can compare notes over a nice cold beer (purchased by the OP since MOL carries no cash). ---
