The apology thread.

[Alaya]

I'm sorry for saying this:

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

to Metric Pringle after he posted his Bach pipe poem.

Sorry, MP.
Maybe you didn't notice but I did.

[barracuda]

Sorry to all and every and especially to you.

[Laodicean]

Sorry, B. I didn't meant what I said to you in the Oslo thread. The weight of the world's troubles (and the death of Amy Winehouse too, especially) has me down lately. Sorry to take it out on you. Hope you know I respect you very much. You're a good guy, with good taste in music too, BTW. You are on my list, in that regard.



Peace be with you. And all the RI'ers. Thanks for being here.

[barracuda]

Thanks, man. And also with you.

Just a quick apology for some erratic posting recently on my part. I've been editing quite a lot of posts recently, sometimes I post something and later on just think it sounds stupid and embarrassing, so I sometimes take bits out.

Sorry about that. I'll try not to edit so many posts in future, it might be a bit confusing if folk quote it back to me quickly. I don't suppose anybody minds really. I've been feeling a little tired and down lately, so I'm sorry if some of my posts have seemed a little confused.

I might post less or not at all for a while. I need a break.

Not to worry. Your enthusiasm is ....lovely.

Hammer of Los, if you want to get all Blake-y lamb-y, it causes me no pain, rather the opposite.

I would not chase you from my door.

[Project Willow]

And to Hammer, I was going to say, exuberance is not a sin, not in my world.

You DO all LOVE me! I never believed it before.

Hallelujah!

I am truly sorry for all the crazy stuff I post and write.

I don't know what I am saying half the time.

Please forgive me everyone. That's all.

I make a lot of mistakes.

Join the club! You, me and about 7 billion members... : )

Well then, you're in good company.

I apologize for not posting more in Publius's threads. I feel like that as a southerner who hates the federal government I have a duty to tell him or her that, if you can't discuss racism as well and at length and with great morality and sensitivity and so forth and so on, then you've gone seriously wrong somewhere. I don't know where but he or she has. Not saying anymore than I did was cowardly and dishonorable. I'm always a sniveling coward but that thread made me CRAZY and about noon eastern standard time yesterday I couldn't take it anymore and haven't read it since. I was obsessing about what all I needed to say to him or her. I woke up this morning still obsessing. Now I'm at work, I'm behind, and I'm STILL obsessing. If I had the courage life demands, I'd be in there cussing Publius but trying to love him or her too. But how the hell do you do that? I can't figure it out. How do you love your neighbor via words on a screen? (Cross the state line tribalism - he or she is a Kentuckian and I am a Tennessean. That's the craziest making part - my people are screwing up again! They're totally not noticing that their neighbors are human, god damn it, AGAIN! I can't go whining to Joe Bageant in an email now and the whole thing -- the whole ISOLATION AND COWARDICE thing -- is making me seriously nuts.)

As it is, I'm apologizing here to all people of common decency and then I'm going to stop reading RI for a while. It has become an extremely unhealthy obsession again. Even if someone PMs me that Publius found Jesus around 10 last night, I can't cope with that either. The fact that my ex-husband has found me again isn't helping my nerves. (It's okay - my coworkers and my husband are taking turns guarding me.) Is it plain cowardice or is it PTSD? Whatever. Can Not Cope.

Sorry, folks. I apologize. I have failed again, but thanks for letting me apologize.

Peace you'uns.

I feel your pain Cedars. Thinking of you.
