I don’t know what my problem is, but I do know I’m being a real shit. Sorry for the stinging words and sarcasm. I had to put this in the pit so I could accurately describe myself using the appropriate language. To make this a useful thread (instead of a self-indulgent one) maybe anyone else with residual guilt over being a prick or asshole can also come forth and prostrate themselves. Or you can just chew my ass out, if you’d rather. ---

Aw, come on. That’s what the Pit is for! Still, I haven’t noticed you being especially bitchy. But if it will make you feel better… **Cranky** , I chastise you! ---

I bitched in one of the “Maggot” threads. I’ve been unusually confrontational in the Richard Gere thread. I just snapped at gobear in the Elton John thread, after previously going off on no one in particular in an earlier post, same thread. I reneged on a blowjob offer. And was so overwrought, I misspelled “Fucking” in this thread and PUT AN APOSTROPHE IN A POSSESSIVE “ITS” in a reply to Sauron. For that alone I loathe myself. But yeah, I usually don’t live up to my name. I’m being a cunt lately, though, fulfilling my moniker nicely. ---

[…shrug…] Oh, well. Whatever it was, it looks like you’ve figured it out and fixed yourself. To me, that’s cause for commendation, not condemnation. ---

Hell, **Cranky** , I bitched in one of the “maggot” threads myself. You should have joined **iampunha** and me in the hijack that followed. It was fun! (although I felt bad about the pile-on later, hence the “puppy-kicking” comment) And I saw your stance in the Richard Gere thread as nothing but honorable. You were standing up for your principles (which I happen to agree with, by the way) in the face of near-total opposition. Brava! And I don’t think anyone, even **UncleBeer** , thought you were being serious with the blowjob offer. So don’t worry about it. Chances are you’re just feeling down because of something else, and are taking it out on yourself here. I do that sometimes too. You’ve got to know how well-respected and liked you are here, right? Love ya! ---

**Cranky** , I for one can _never forgive_ such outrageously inflammatory posts as you’ve lately been perpetrating! Your puny, self-indulgent, self-serving, self-contained attempt at self-effacement **fails entirely** to obliterate the stain which now mars your name on these boards. Such lack of restraint and moral fiber should FOREVER BRAND YOU as a hothead and a _ **blind partisan** _, not to be trusted with the earnest work of fighting ignora---- \<_kaff, kaff -HACK!_\> Sorry… can’t continue… choking… on own… irony… \ ---

\<_…sound of wind driving tumbleweeds through abandoned thread…_\> OK, OK. Jeez. Also, I apologize for being a mean-spirited prick in a Pit thread several weeks ago. (What? No, I won’t link to it. Think I’m proud of it?) There. ---

Some have mentioned I’ve been harsher and less tolerant than usual, but, unlike you, **Cranky** , I’m not sorry for it. 😃 Still, if anyone was offended when you weren’t the target of my offense, then I apologize. Some have also mentioned in chat (and yes, I know who you are) that I’m an egomaniac. This is news? Fortunately, 98% of the people I meet are quite amused by my personality, so I shan’t be pandering to your accusations that “it’s all about me.” 😛 I do know for a fact, however, that some of my flirting has made people uncomfortable, so that I will be keeping in check in the future. Flirting should not be about making people uncomfortable. Esprix ---
