I must apologize as well.
I may not post comments nearly as often as some, but there have been a number of times I should have simply refrained from hitting that Enter key.
Funny how we (err.. I) sometimes assume a persona that is but a small portion of the whole. Yet how would anyone here know that?

Well, since that was wrong, wrong, wrong... (I posted at least seven times in this thread. I stopped counting after the first 8 pages.)
This:
I wrote:It's also the last.
may as well be wrong too.
As long as I'm here though...
I'm sorry I'm such a lazy slouch that has by any standard squandered my life to date. What a horrible thing to waste.
and I'm sorry I am unable to see a way out of our predicament because it makes me ill, very, very ill; in ways I can't even begin to adequately describe. I am sorry we are so fucked and I am sorry that knowledge saps whatever ambition and motivation I might otherwise have. Perhaps I haven't suffered enough yet.
I really hope there is no permanent record of every misdeed large and small I have ever committed. Thankfully, at least in this life, my memory is selective at best and I'm a pro at repressing stuff.

Re: The apology thread.
What an awesome thread, allowing our members the opportunity for reflection.
I possibly would never have noticed it but for BPH and Belle Savants bump.
It kinda reinforces my own personal thinking that there are actually no "coincidences".
I would hereby like to take this opportunity to apologise for any and all of my ignorance and arrogance throughout my stay here.
I look at some of the opiniions that I even recently held much more than any kind of reasonable faith in.
This leaves me subsequently pontificating about what a complete and utter clown I must sound like sometimes.
Ignorance and arrogance in abundance.
So thanks for the cleansing opportunity.
Now for the good news.
We are all a work in progress, at least according to my Dad..
"You live and learn if you live long enough", as he would say.
My point here being that we shouldnt take too long beating ourselves up about our need for apology.
Rather, we should just learn from it.
Big kudos to all of you !

Jerky, old pal, I want to apologize for that one time...my stodgy sensibilities kicked in and I overreacted. I must credit C2W? for helping me realize that, and my apology is overdue.

Bumping this as it might come in handy rather than collecting virtual dust.
