The word is Backpedal. 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.
I have never seen anyone on these boards who had more hate than you, Joe. 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…
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.
“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.
My job as a moderator is NOT to edit posts that you suddenly decided were inappropriate. 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.
Yeah, well, at least I just misspell things in the “heat of frustration and anger”, I don’t type out hateful missives and then expect it to be forgotten.
And again a tu quoque response. Joe, your words are right here, in black and white for all to see. 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.
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.
It will be in the mail as soon as my wife receives your profuse apology for all the hateful comments you’ve made towards her. I don’t give a damn what you think of me, though. I see through your facade of feigned reason and intelligence to the spoiled child who is really controlling your keyboard.
I would. 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
Wow, you are a textbook case of projection, aren’t you? Read carefully: This has nothing to do with you, me, or your wife’s past. This has ONLY to do with what you and your wife said to Eve.
I repeat: Eve is owed an apology. It should not be contingent on anything else. What did Eve ever do to you to deserve your cruelty?
