The GD boys had their little prank, the LBBB’s retaliated, David B made an apology, why is the thread still open?
To any of the Left Behind folks still here, and to their administration, I offer my apology for my participation in this mess. It was never our intention to attack or to spam or anything like that. As others have noted, this was an attempt to enlighten, misguided as that attempt may have been. I participated in this without the knowledge of any member of the SDMB administration – today was the first they’d heard of any of this, and they were not happy about it, to put it mildly. As a moderator here, I should
have considered that my participation would reflect poorly on this message board, The Straight Dope, and The Chicago Reader. I did not really think about it. As has been noted by others, I went in as an individual, representing nobody but myself. Still, I apologize for any poor reflection on others that this may have caused.
I will do my best to make sure nothing like this ever happens again, and I certainly will not participate in anything like it in the future.
That said, I think the new year is a good time to put this behind us and move on.
Seems like closing the thread would be a first step in moving on.
Oh, I’m gonna keep using these #%@&* codes 'til I get 'em right.
