An Act of Contrition
To the people I upset, offended or let down .. I'm sorry.
I can make a lot of excuses, but I won't.
I haven't changed my opinion on the matter. The things I called out as wrong were wrong, to me at least, and I would have been a liar to myself if I didn't say something about them .. but I am pretty disgusted with how my anger got the better of me. I said things I shouldn't have. So, I'm apologizing for that to the community that I love.
I do love the Sift and I regret if I hurt it .. or any of you.

Fuck no burdy, whether people agree with you or not, you're just as entitled to your opinion as everyone else. Down with censorship! Glad you came back sugar
*quality humility
Awarding burdturgler with one star point for this contribution to Sift Talk - declared quality by alien_concept.
*manly hug
Let's agree to disagree! We ALL have our moments
You still have quality sifts and I will still upvote them.
We love you anyway, you turd you!
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
Shine on you crazy turgler - all is forgiven.
I was hoping you would return You don't have to apologize for anything imho...
Does this mean you will you renounce the devil and stop the sinful practice of turgling burds? Can I get a witness?
I absolve you of all sift-related sin, my son.
Yay Burdy! It's all good. Happy to have you back.
stop throwing ashes around, can't see a bloody thing in here...
Good to have you back BT.
GROUP HUG!
hey hey hey it's a holi holi day.
Damn. You're all a bunch of weepy nerds. Am gonna go blast my pecs. ICE COLD!
"An Act of Public Relations"
I don't see any real contrition. Nor did I expect to.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, as they say. I never took your actions as anything other than defense of the community. Burgle on!
I agree with what UP said above, but that doesn't really matter. We don't have to get along all of us, and you are certainly a valued member of the sift and it's good that you've calmed down.
The whole incident did more bad than good, imo, but that's that. I can forgive and forget easily.
Burd didn't downvote my comment until you upvoted it, Gwiz. How dare you agree with me!
Fuckin hell, now you're just stirring the pot for shits and giggles woman
BT, you and Mink split a bottle this week? (a hug and blanky for you) It's Prodigal Son Week at VS!
Now if a few banned fellas could come back and apologize...(ok, I won't start that again )
Coincidence? Providence? Who knows. It was a nice post by Mink in any event.
Personally, I don't feel like I need the blanky .. but I could always use more hugs.
I made this apology to people like you Swampgirl. People I sort of know but don't really know. I know you through your comments, your sifts, your promotes and playlists .. that's it.
But .. all of those things, when blended together with the rest of us, and our various quirks and contributions have created a family here. And I love this family. And I've come to have a great deal of respect for that and maybe a bit of a protection instinct for it as well. It's important to me, and so are you and everyone else here.
But families fight and communities will never always agree. So we have polls and siftquisitions and the benevolent yet mad sift gods have left it in our hands to work towards peace or battle to the death for their amusement. Like that one Trek episode .. remember?
At the end of the day, I'm not quite prodigal. Mostly because I never really left and the rest is explained in my reply to UsesProzac now ..
I'm not apologizing to you.
I'm not apologizing for the siftquisition either.
I apologized to the community for my behavior during it. I let my anger get the better of me.
I said some things in an offensive way and I shouldn't have.
It doesn't change the fact that I think you are psychotic, abusive, malicious and bad for the Sift.
You have a history of harassing people at this site which continues even now, as you have been hammering my profile with messages ever since I came back, even though I just delete them without responding.
I care about this site, the community and the friends I've made here. I regretted the way I acted. I expressed that here so that people might understand. Thankfully, a lot of them get it. You, on the other hand, have no remorse and apparently still think it's OK to send profile comments wishing people were raped, etc.
I have no remorse concerning anything I've ever said to you. I can honestly say that I wouldn't pull you from the path of an oncoming bus.
I come from downtown Normal which has different ways from those in Crazyville. Over here it's generally not cool to send pictures of dead babies with recipes on how to cook them along with wishes that the person be raped. But hey, we're just different. That doesn't mean you have some license to fuck with me every day. Please try and learn some respect for that and I will continue to try ignoring you.
Why don't you start looking at your own behavior here and stop worrying about me altogether. The SiftQuisition is over. I have tried to ignore you and get past it. I am getting sick and tired of the constant bullshit in my profile though. Take you're hobbling with dignity and move on.
Did I miss something? I'm unknowingly harassing you?
edit: (oh duh.. I read it again..never mind)
You missed the part where I said "the rest is explained in my reply to UP now"
I'll edit it and spell out her name so there isn't any confusion .. sorry.
You're right burd, UsesProzac could at least try to keep her digni- aww, too late
Not so. I am replying in kind.
I will not bend over and grab my ankles. Not unless Burd asks real, real nice. And he hasn't. In fact, he says that I am harrasing him. I'd really like to understand that!
