> [@SuntanLotion](#): > > You’re a _modist_ It’s not easy, being green. Or at least, having an avatar that registers as green at a glance. Apologies to both @Chronos and @Miller, and I doubt this will be the last time I confuse the two. At least, I don’t think that’s too insulting to either of them. ---

I don’t like being called a liar. You’re being a jerk. For no reason. I’ve never done anything to you. I get it. You don’t like me. ETA. I’ve been called lots of nasty names here. Asshole might have been one. I meant in my RL. No one has ever called me ugly names. I think some one flipped me off once. Couldn’t be sure. ---

I haven’t been here 15 years. But ok It’s _exasperating_. That’s the word you’re looking for. Now I have been called that. Before. In RL. ---

Miller, I know where I went off. Oh I do know it. It was well, reasons. I don’t care if you don’t believe me. I can’t change that. I’ve apologized and apologized for my bad behavior. I can’t make a thread about it. It will be blasted. You know this. There are people who will pick everything I try to say, apart. It would be futile. But the people I thought I hurt, from reading back(may have missed some,) I’ve privately messaged. If anyone who took my opinions to be offensive and really hurtful, I’m sorry. I do not like to hurt folks. I don’t intend to hurt folks. I did it, I don’t why I did it. It was thing that got blown out of proportion about no one on this board. If it triggered you, I do wish I could take it back. But, I can’t. What more can I say about it? ---

> [@Miller](#): > > You were misrepresenting what happened, and trying to cast yourself as the victim when you were, in fact, the offender. Interesting. I had suspicions that she was misrepresenting what happened, and you’ve got a helluva lot more credibility than she has. Beck, you told me repeatedly you wanted everyone to let this shit go. So _let this shit go_. Or don’t–but I don’t plan to take you seriously if you keep dredging it up, indirectly or directly. It’s gonna look to me like you want to keep acting like a dumbass and not get called on it, and that’s very different from wanting to let things drop. Fuck around, find out. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > I certainly didn’t bring this up. I was lamenting about someone wishing death on someone. Bullshit. But illuminating bullshit. Looks like you intend to keep making your snide passive-aggressive references to what happened. If you’re not gonna let it go, I have no intention to honor your wishes to let it drop, either. You make your bed, you lie in it.\* \*Southernism for FAFO ---
