Apparently, moments before I lost a friend.
No way!
I didn’t mean to be offensive, and if I was I am truly and sincerely sorry.
I may have spoken without thinking, or posted or whatever.
I didn’t mean it as an attack against you, though it may have sounded that way.
I previewed my post, and read through it carefully to make sure that what I said would be seen as mild jesting, at most.
I didn’t mean to literally say that you are “a nut-bar.”
I am really very sorry, and I hope that there is something that I can do to adequately express how deeply I would regret losing you as a friend, and to win your respect back again.
You should know that I hold you in the highest regard, and respect you and your opinions.
Again, if my apparent lack of guile came off as a slap in the face, allow me to retract my statement and submit myself to your mercy.
I am sorry.

No, don’t let a post come between you two, please?
You both are my friends and I hate to see anything come between you.

Welcome to the Colorado Dopers’ thread!
You’re all nuttier than fruitcake. A big freaking fruitcake. With LOTS of nuts.
Kiss and make up, or I shall be forced to make you share the responsibility of paying for my beers at the next Denver Debauch.
Incidentally, June 17th is a BAD day for me. I will be in Glenwood Springs, eating strawberries ALL DAY LONG.
Carry on. I’ll be in the area all evening.

Shit, Lex, good thing you didn’t call him a “stew-bum.”
People really hate it when you call them a “stew-bum.”
Burn my soul, I meant no disrespect.
Peace be on you, SingleDad, I did speak without thinking.
Time for a group hug!

Oh, you guys… I LOVE YOU ALL!! ::sniff sniff::
Can I borrow $20?
Okay, okay… c’mon, guys, mistakes happen, y’know?
Umm… this is the Pit, so I have to add… ::ahem::… “fuckers”.
Geesh, now I’ve seen it all. Two guys getting mushy on the board, and in the Pit at that. Come on, kiss and make up.
I like Spoofe. What’s the $20 worth to ya?
Uke:
Well, I certainly don’t. Of course, I’m quite a stickler for truth in advertising.
Waste
Flick Lives!
A quick bump, to make sure that singledad sees this one.
Ultress:
I’ll strip down to my underwear and sing “Chantilly Lace”… twice.
If we give you the $20, will you promise not to do that? Like, ever?
Ouch.
And fuck off, mo-fo.
No, you fuck off, pimple-tuchas.
Oh My Gawd! This is The PIT, guys!
Lexicon, you need to tell SingleDad that if he can’t take a fucking joke, to bite you! Sheesh! Get with the program here, fellas!

(in case anyone doesn’t know there’s humor behind this post)
My ears always prick up whenever “nuts,” “fruit,” “$20,” “underwear” and “Matt_mcl” all appear in the same thread.
(Oh, and “prick,” too. ;))
