OK, I'll admit that I was in a foul mood last night, that had nothing at all to do with this board.

And while I *thought* that my initial post was meant to provoke discussion, rather than flames; apparently I was wrong. I thought some folk were mis-reading my posts, others thought I was mis-reading theirs.

I fully acknowledge that the initial hostility was on my part.

I hope you'll forgive. If it will help, here's the recitation I learned in school.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

I really have nothing against any of you, and would quite like to become a part of the community here.

Did I start off on the wrong foot? Well, yes, obviously.

What I had meant as an observation, sounded like an attack. And that is my fault, and I accept that.

Was it all my fault? No. I got "gang-banged", clowned, and belittled. Belive me, that isn't my personal kink. When I get attacked, I attack back.

But I DO appologize for my part in starting it. (especially to Cheyenne. I still think she was wrong, but I was far too harsh in my posts to her).

Anyway, this is about the best I can do by way of apology to those I refered to as "hostile, bitter senior members".

I am sorry, and would like to start fresh, if I may.
 
Hmmm...sounds sincere...ok apology is accepted by me for me (not that I had much of anything to do with it all) I can't nor would I offer for anyone else here.

Small piece of advice...get a very thick skin, and realize that some of the stuff thrown at you is in humor.;)

Glam...you know your av's could almost turn this straight guy in another direction completely? Every once in a while...man.
 
Well Good Morning, Merkin!

We are a forgiving group..ummm..for the most part! :D

I do hope you stay, Lit is filled with good people. You will see that one day. I promise.


Have a wonderful day!
 
Cool relaunch attempt, Merkin.

I mean, my respect for not running away and hiding, for not trying to comeback with a new handle.

There's no second chance for a first impression, but this should be accepted even by the clique... :D

Rex :rose: (damn - there is no "friendly handshake" emoticon)

don't you dare :mad:

oops - now my tongue is stucked in my cheek

on the other hand - why don't you come over here and we talk about all the "c" things .... :D
 
Careful Merkin,

If you go around apologising here you'll end up being classed as an attention seeking drama queen.

:)
 
Nice one Merk...

The grumpy old posters were all new meat like us, at one time or another.

Its so much fun to fly thru hear with morning coffee, catch a little turbulence, take a ride on this train of thought-

then-whamo-

RL and all those mountain ranges to cross.

Good morning Lit-its like a Monday on Tuesday-ughhh..

:rose: ;)

My weekend was fucktastic...thanks for asking.:kiss:

Wow. Someone was too sensitive here on Lit???? I'm so shocked!:D
 
I attacked you because I gave that same speech about, what guys, two, three months ago when Hanns began and people kept telling me to shut the fawk up and mind my own business because they though it was fun and other such schiess, so I knew where you were going and wanted to be the FIRST on the bandwagon.

Glad to see you stuck it out...

TROLL!

:D

Just shut the fawk up!!!

:kiss:
 
Cool. Apology accepted.

I'll even cancel my prediction of 2 months, max. You were on such a fast track, I just had that discussion with someone last night. The conclusion was if you made it 2 weeks (not 2 months) without heading for the hills, you'd probably be here on the bb with us a long time. Looks like you might be around for awhile afterall. :)
