Or you issue a _profuse_ public apology, not just a quick “Oh gee, I’m sorry.” I’m totally disgusted and I have no problem with people seeing you for what you really are inside. I hope you and your God are happy together. ---

The word is Backped **al**. And I’m not backpedaling. I simply thought better of something I said in the heat of frustration and anger. You’d prefer that I stick to my guns and let it stand, of course. That way your straw image of me would be a more fitting target. Eutychus, is it recommended to let personal prejudices dictate the performance of your job as a moderator, or is that just an added bonus that you tacked on yourself? Anyway, that’s fine. I already apologized, as you can see. Take it or leave it. I don’t care. ---

It’s so fucking sad. You must be horrible to live with or even be near for two seconds. Course, since you have a suitable companion, I guess it works itself out. Oh, and whoever made the predictions on page 1, can you take a look at some of these stocks here and tell me what ya think…😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by His4ever \* > You accuse other people of doing the same thing you do. You are the big bullies here, not **jersey or Joe** , but will you ever see that? I hightly doubt it. We’ll see it when you start acting like a Christian, instead of a self-loving, bibliolatrist who, if she didn’t already know it from first grade, would be incapable of assimilating “1+1=2” into her worldview. And once again **Joe** shows us that once upon a time he and **His4ever** attended the same church. ---

> [@](#): > > Anyway, that’s fine. I already apologized, as you can see. Take it or leave it. I don’t care. “Take it or leave it, I don’t care” really lacks the ring of repenatance for saying somethig as horrible as you just did. You have to mean it, you have to be genuinely sorry for what you did. Saying a perfunctory “I’m sorry, take it or leave it” is just an attempt to shut up your critics, not to express sincere remorse. ---

Or an attempt to emulate the mighty gobear and esprix. After all, it’s your calling card. The board crash. Give me a break. ---

I’ll fix coding, I’ll fix grammatical or spelling errors if I have the time. I will NOT, nor will any of the other moderators edit a post to change the fundamental thought of someone’s post. And I bitterly resent the implication that I would do it for just anyone that I agreed with. ---

I missed the Dopefest comment earlier. Do you mean to say that these two pricks have the audacity to spew their hatred on the boards and then show their faces at a Dopefest? Holy fuck. ---

Stop trying to obfuscate by dragging up old arguments which have nothing to do with what you said to **Eve**. What you need to do is send **Eve** an e-mail, a genuinely contrite e-mail to apologize for hurting her feelings in such a heartless manner. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by jarbabyj \* > \*\*WAAAAAAAHHH…Jesus, they’re being MEEEEAAN TO MEEEEEE. \*\* Since it was lost on you, that post was a demonstration of the literary technique known as **irony**. She was demonstrating the absurdity of people in this thread calling her hateful, while in the very same posts, saying unbelievably hateful things. Go back to thinking about sex. You’re better at that. ---

I came in to this thread without any opinion at all on JD, JC, or anyone else involved. But after reading through this thread, and especially this third page, I can assure you, Joe\_Cool, that you are the first poster on this board whom I have formed any real opinion on. You are a fucking heartless moron. ---

Eve, for the love of all humanity, I apologize on the behalf of some of those who refuse to do so themselves. You are truly a beautiful person. Godspeed. ---

If ANYONE needs spiritual guidance, it’s the Self-Martyr Trio. **His4ever** , either piss or get off the pot, and quit WHINING!. I am sick of this, “Oh I’m leaving! Oh wait, no I’m not! Yes I am!” I still want the staff to take a poster at his/her word when he/she threatens to leave and bans the poster. (I had a really nasty, lengthy sermon at **His** , but in the end, why bother? She thinks she’s right. She’s hurtful, but she doesn’t care. It’s sad.) As Huck Finn said, Well, then I’ll go to Hell. Because I cannot show hate and judgment in the name of God. I can’t do it. I simply cannot. _shrugs_ If that sends me to Hell, I accept that. ---
