I want to apologize to anyone I’ve offended with my threads/posts, for lying, making false threads and pretending to be someone i’m clearly not, for being rude and ruining all the fun for everyone with my disrespectful posts. I also want to apologize for making a mockery of the Asians with my inflammatory posts. I have nothing against Asians and was not trying to be racist by any means. What I did was not right and am hoping that you all would be able to forgive me. I’ve done some reflecting and feel so ashamed and am willing to accept full responsibility for my actions. Once again, I am so sorry. ---

Even checking his recent posts gives no clues - either parody or accidental sock outing? ---

It’s indicative of what’s been going on lately that I immediately checked the join date. No idea what the OP is going on about. Entertaining meltdown over [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=662600), though. ---

I feel bad for the OP… not because of what he’s done and his apology, but because no one even cares or knows him! ---

It’s ok. I don’t think anyone believed you are an English teacher. And who said you are ruining all the fun? This whole shebang definitely falls somewhere in between meh and mildly entertaining. ---

Do you know how many posts are made to this board in a day? How many threads are visited by how many posters? You’d have to do something pretty blatant-fucking bad to make even a ripple. Tell us who you were and what you did so we can be mad or whatever and move on to the apology. p.s. I studied Mandarin for a year in college and I’m hoping the Asians hold off on the forgiving until they know more about you. ---
