First up, christ on a mother-fucking crutch people, really? Yes, yes, **Bone** used pretty words but could you please not prove my point for me every 30 seconds. It’s not a contest.

He apologized to me in a PM. I don’t know if he apologized in any threads. As with others who have changed their points of view during conversations on the topic, I chose to take him at his word.

You’re going to make me start the Pit thread aren’t you? You know what happens when I start Pit threads about posters:

If anyone want’s anything more than that, someone else better do it.

I don’t think it’s a sock. I do think school just let out for summer, and you have spotted the first migrating university student. Note the “capitalization.” This one may mature into a troll, or it may simply linger and observe. The rest of his brethern are close behind him.

Incoming!

Well, you shouldn’t take him at his word. He is pretty clearly an asshole.

Eta: and yes, wtf at those gross responses you quoted. How the fuck can people be so fucking tone deaf?

You know, your association with and defence of an unrelenting asshole doesn’t reflect well on you. So he apologised to you for being a misogynistic prick? I’m glad you were there to accept on behalf of all women, otherwise he wouldn’t have had a flimsy facade of feminism to cloak his dickishness in.

I flinched when I read that post, too.  
M’stern also apologized to me in a PM.

How and when you forgive someone is up to you, natch. But when someone just keeps choosing new targets to be super-shitty to, it casts their apologies to old targets in a certain light.

If we’re to be a good community, it can’t suffice for folks just to be non-shitty to you. They need to be non-shitty to other folks as well.

I agree.  
But who am I to say these things? People can and do change. I am a glass half full person. So I am optimistic to a fault. Sorry. Just how I roll.  
ETA I am responding to Left hand.

Honest question: are you seeing a change of character, or a change of target?

Apologized about what? Something completely different than what I was talking about clearly, because it happened before you joined.

I couldn’t disagree with Sunny Daze more. This is an adult board. The posts are in an appropriate thread and they are not directed at any female poster. I’d rather not party like its 1899.

And, as noted above, (although I may have missed), she had nothing to say about vile personal attacks in this thread. Perspective, please.

A bit of trivia: someone’s first 6 contributions to the Male Centrism thread were as follows. This is unabridged. Which poster was it?

I just wanted to state that he apologized to me to show he’s not a monster. No I have no first hand knowledge of that problem you have with him. I am just saying. This is my experience.

While this phrase may bring disdain, we’re kind of trying to raise the level of the discourse on the boards vis a vis gender issues. Teen pregnancy and whore jokes probably need a more firm setup to be funny, atm.

Well I have lso apologized to people in PM. Now you know I’m not a monster too.

I’m not sure about his not being a monster but I hope I am wrong. He really enjoys hurting people; getting as personal as he possibly can get. He rarely shows his true self and by his own admission ‘finds out which way the wind is blowing’ before joining a conversation. He hasn’t made any public apologies to those he attacked and he doesn’t seem to learn from his mistakes. Lets hope he learns from all this and comes back a better person.

Well if you end up deciding he is a monster, seriously, please do not start a pit thread about him. He really would savor that kind of attention. You saw how much **octopus** loved his.

In any other place than The Pit I agree. In any other thread than one that calls out other posters and widens the in group/out group dichotomy.
