> And that’s the whole point of this thread? To get an apology of some kind? Wow. Try harder next time because it won’t work. You’ll be banned, should you prove to be a troll. You’ll likely come back with a new name. You’ll be banned again. Repeat. Over and over and over. How entertaining. Really though, I’m sorry you’re so pathetic. Is that good enough for you? \*\*

You raised a point that has puzzled me watching these things play out.  
What _is_ the answer to breaking the cycle, do you suppose?😕  
Doesn’t seem to me an apology is actually the goal.  
And I guess nobody else on this thread has a specific goal either.  
I have to admit it takes a lot of people to keep a thread going, and I’m one of them, but that doesn’t tell me how the cycle is supposed to end. I guess it may be like Ireland, and go on from generation to generation. :eek:

I, on behalf of all dopers everywhere, am truly truly sorry for everything that has happened to you? I especially apologize for the wrongs that certain individuals have caused you.

Happy? Content? Got a hard on yet? Gooood.

Now can you leave?

Then stop squandering your life (such as it is) by posting on a board that you don’t like and doesn’t like you.

Piss off.
