tntgoodwin Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) I just wanted to offer a sincere apology to anyone and everyone I may have offended. Specifically anyone who I offended enough to put me on the ignore list. And anyone who removed me from their friends lists. Good day.

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 You realize that if you're on anyone's ignore list, they won't see this, right? Unless they are the curious sort. You weren't on my ignore list but I was mildly peeved. I accept your apology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Yeah, but I can't think of a topic that has not been covered. It wasn't one topic, one comment, one post - that made me do this face: :001_rolleyes: It was the culmination of 4(?) threads all at once (not sure on the number and I'm not interested enough to go and count). But I actually make that face enough that my kids say my eyes will stick that way. Not a huge biggie but it did offend some people enough to make them use the ignore feature and apparently unfriend him. And TNT was bothered by that enough to make this thread. I think it speaks in TNT's favor that he does care how he comes across on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gailmegan Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I skimmed the threads. I didn't feel like getting into anything controversial, so I moved on. No big deal.

JudoMom Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I thought he was just bored. :D I was rather bored yesterday so I was having fun with it. I did wonder if his wife was out for the day, or maybe on a women's retreat :lol:. But I really don't think he meant any harm; I figured he just finally had some spare moments to ask some questions that he'd been thinking about.

8circles Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I'm always amazed at the things that offend people here & the things that others post that are actually offensive but nobody says a word. I mean I've not appreciated some of the threads & have found some in bad taste but they've not offended me - those almost always seem to be apologized for later. The ones that are actually rude, insulting & intending to be offensive to people are almost never even acknowledged as rude. I'm sure I'm not being clear because I'm posting in between cleaning the house before having guests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachin'Mine Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 You are not now, nor have ever been, on my ignore list. I made this face :confused: on a couple of your threads because it wasn't just one or two, but it was several questionable threads all in one day. To be honest, I was doubting your intentions here as this is primarily an education board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it makes me a bit nervous to post something. I don't want to offend. And I don't want someone to be upset with me, especially if I'm just trying to be funny. ETA: I need to emphasize trying to be funny. The only time I am really funny to people is when I'm trying to be serious! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelwydd Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 TNT, while you are pretty much the definition of my political nemesis (and I say that with amusement), I didn't take any offense at your threads. I do feel quite strongly about the positions I take on pro-choice, circumcision, etc., but that doesn't translate into me being angry or offended by you asking about it, or even choosing to debate it. The only thing that gets my ire up is personal attacks. Attack my argument all you want, but once you resort to ad hominem, the game's no fun anymore. That said, I understand that these topics are sensitive spots for a lot of posters. I'm sorry to read that your posts stirred up bad feelings from others and that you are getting read the riot act for it. If it makes you feel any better, I haven't ignored you and, having gotten to "know" you a little better from your posts, don't expect I would have to. Your posts may seem to lean really far right to my liberal eyes, but you tend to amuse me, not offend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
