Public Apology

The following is a formal apology to a fellow sifter, for the medicine ball toss we engaged in a short time ago-I was pissed at a particular aspect of their budding persona, and the asshole head of the hydra manifested...(good head, good boy!) Don't know if it helped or hurt, but I do know the result inspired mentation, and hopefully inspired us both, and prodded us on down the path of self-conscious awareness-

No names, cept' for mine, I can be a dick sometimes and I whole-heartedly am saying sorry. Better stop here, or I will turn it around into maintaining my position, you were a dick toos, stop yer belly-aching', and shut up, yadda yadda, and it will begin to look more like a stroking than what it is, an "I sorry."

Below is a short list of sift-talk posts which may shed some light, as to the mysterious, self-denigrating
nature of this, most humble, public, apallogy...APOLOGY!!

(I would also like to apologize in public to fedquip again, in case someone missed the part in that one paragraph, from that one thread that time.....)

[the preceding apology may not reflect the views and opinions of the user, administratorial dissection, is advised]

-there are more, dotdude reminded me of one, but I won’t find it.(thanks DD)

And here’s another topic altogether….banning shit is fun and all, but how bout some decorum and style, fer crissakes, and a bit more creativity than riding the dead pun horse ragged, or reminding the boneheads about the BIG RED LETTERS!!! jeez, most of the comments on these threads of bantasm, read like how-to primers for schoolgirl insults...Get clever gawd-damenit!!! (incidentally, we better start saving these ban parties and stop acting embarrassed for the mob-I wanna see the threads of the banned, fer posterity, on all the banned in future, “Who’s with me?!! ARRRRGH!?”)

It takes a big man to make a public apology like this, and an even bigger man to pull that 'big man' platitudinous crap out every time a big man does a big-man thing. So you're all welcome.

Seriously, it's very gracious of you to do this, choggie. I'm pretty sure I know to whom this is directed, but that's beside the point. It's cool that you're willing to stand down to avoid an all-out hater-fest, which is so prevalent in the comments sections of all the major video sites. I hope VideoSift never gets plagued with that kind of shit. I salute you.

I was really hoping the user in question, would bring it out here, so we could all see how unreasonably thick I am....thick and juicy-They were wondering what if anything they had done wrong, and had merely offered my input and offered up some similar medicine-It is up to individual process and perception, to decide whether or not actions on my part were warranted. If some other user wants to put 2 and 2 together and rip into me, they would have to have read the threads which prompted them....and they are private, so Nyaaah! Well, I did let a couple folks see the ravings....why don't y'all chime in, and offer a synopsis....

qruel says...

apology accepted :-) just kidding.

while some of your posts might seem like cryptic indescipherable pot shots from left field in the threads, I will say you do offer a more comprehensible explanation of your thoughts when asked.

Oh man. Choggie, you're a bigger man than I am. I think you may be justified, however, because the guy I think the sifter in question is somewhat difficult to endure. I also could be up here apologizing for the same thing, but I refuse to.

I don't think you need to apologize, man. And, qruel accepts your apology, anyhow. Just kidding, qruel.

blankfist says...

Aw screw this, man. That guy is a real fuckface. Let's just out him and be done with it. What's with all this self-righteous nonsense. Choggie, you're a videosift OG. Let's just say who this guy is and be done with it...

choggie says...

now now blankfist, this is just not like you...Mr. up-vote everything, I don't know who you think I was talking about, but she has not yet returned to either accept my heart-felt mea culpa or defend her position....if you have issues with some user named after an Irish search engine, please, feel free to bring it out elsewhere.....as for the ass-sucking, I think we can leave fettishes out for now....
