Apologizing: Neo Art, Poliwannacraca, others...

A few days ago I said thing that was personally and deliberately insulting to Neo Art in a thread about relationships. I felt than as now I was being unfairly heckled about something I posted earlier but I could have done as I usually do and ignored it. However I was in a confrontational mood and Neo provided me with just such the opportunity to get in a confrontation and I jumped on it. I said something pretty cruel, something I didn't actually mean or actually think; just because I find something not to my personal tastes does not mean I find the people involved to be any less a person.

I'm honoring my promise to stay the hell out of that discussion and am posting publicity my apology to you Neo Art, and anyone else I likely offended with my off base and off hand comment and hope you can understand my lack of reasoning; I treat people on NS the way I do in real life and could not feel right about myself by being that rude.

Well, I don't think many generalites actually remember that they have a nation registered, or that there is even a game called nationstates. :p

If we got email notification when we got TGs I'd be more inclined to read them. Or if Jolt let us use their PM system.

Only politicians and other celebrities publicly apologize. The question is: what district do you represent?

To publicly apologize takes a great deal of humility. You have my respect for this.

That's not what it was I said, I inferenced that he doesn't actually care about his girlfriend and that's why he likes dom/sub relationships. Thats what I am trying to apologize for.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to apologise to the poster below me.

I'm sorry I've been neglecting you. I know sometimes it feels like I'm just going through the motions but I do really love you. I drove you away, I know, there's nothing I can do to make it up to you. Anyway, she seduced me... so it's her fault really..

There's not a day that doesn't go by that I don't thank the lord that I don't have a woodpecker in my pants. It's a motto of mine.. " It could be worse! At least I'm not being viciously fellated by a woodpecker!" I say it in the hope it will catch on.. but people back away when they see your crotch area flailing and quacking..

The confusion is unsurprising. After all, only women and gays apologize. The dispute should have been dealt with in the normal manner for a dispute involving real men: a duel to the death, or more conventionally, a naked dance-off to the Numa Numa song, with the video to be posted on NSG for us to judge the winner.

It certainly is comforting to know that at least some people try to uphold our most ancient and sacred traditions. Chapeau! :hail:

Whenever I make a mistake about the gender of a poster, I feel this urge to ask them suspiciously, "Are you sure you're really a (actual gender)?"

Slipped off the page really. Thread is generally unnecessary, but I appreciate the sentiment. I get...a bit defensive on subjects such as that, as I'm sure you understand. It sort of...comes off a bit abrasive when posters, who are usually quite open and accepting of various lifestyle choices, act rather intolerant of my own.

On the other hand, it's not an easy topic for some people to get their head around.

Either way, accepted, moved on.
