:Swallows Pride:

After being forced to take yet another break, I can say that I finally get it and I apologize for my part in derailing topics and starting flame wars. I have been particpating in a different forum and I see the difference in substantial debate versus all out flame wars. So I apologize and look forward to participating in better discussions. So, publically, I would like to especially apologize to theolin, angocoq, eklipse, logic, lbk, Sphericharlot, and anyone else who I may have offended (if I mispelled your name, I am sorry too).

I am still an a$$hole, that will never change...and my opinions will not differ, but I will make an effort to positively contribute to this forum versus what I did in the past.

Dan Brown

Oh yeah, I can't forget to apologize to Demonhood and lerkfish.

Can I ask which thread made you change your mind? Might be an interesting read.

You even sound sincere!!

There can be a political lounge that is not full of hatred and intolerance. All it takes is all of us doing what dcolton just did.

Now we'll see if you can hold up your end of the bargain, and if it will have any effect on others.

Deomacius,

Just a comparison between MacNN and another discussion board. When I first came to macnn, there seemed to be a bit more substance and less personal abuse.

I suppose it's easy to get caught up in slinging mud. Especially when you don't have to face that person. Maybe things will lighten up around here. Could be fun.

dcolton,

That's perfectly alright.

Looking forward to share and discuss different opinions, and hopefully, we might both learn something positive and constructive from our previous experiences.

Welcome back!

For that, I'll take you off of my ignore list.

(not that I've ever really ignored anyone who was on it

)

I never had an ignore list but just for dcolton I'll create one, add him too it, then remove him.

Well, you made the liberals happy.

They taught you a lesson, huh?

Logic · Jul 10, 2004, 04:40 AM

All is forgiven and I also apologise for my outbursts towards you.

Good to have you back

If you're not with us . . . you're against us. Good to see where you guys stand.

dcolton, keep being an a$$hole if that's who you are.
But, be an a$$hole who is thoughtful, engaging, and makes a damn good **logical** argument.
You will earn people's respect every time, regardless of where they fall in the debate.
(Those that don't respect you because of the viewpoints you hold will never do so, so just forget about them.)

i have one for you: post something of substance instead of your "smackdowns" and mudslinging.
