I owe the forum an apology.

[madeline_con]

If you were here earlier, you know what I mean. I had no idea the unacceptable portion of my post would be taken as seriously as it was. I was very upset and venting to people I thought would understand the depth of my feelings. Maybe I went a bit overboard. I apologize to those of you I offended, or whose sensibilities I trampled.

1. no idea what you're talking about but do know how it goes.

:hug:

2. I was not on here earlier but...

:hug:

[whistle]

3. Were you censored?

[madeline_con]

6. It was locked.

I was mad and I guess I sounded threatening. But not to nayone here. A random jerk.

[Catch22Dem]

4. No problem here

I didn't see it, but I've been here for over 6 years, and I know how it can get. Some nights I come here and instantly turn into an incorrigible DICK!

5. I didn't see anything wrong with your earlier post, but then again, I feel the same way many times..

... sometimes it's just good to get it out so you don't explode..

7. Maybe we should invite her to the dungeon

Toughen her up a bit? :rofl:

[Ghost in the Machine]

11. LOL!! .... yes, that would be an experience, huh?

From the post she's referencing though, I think she's a pretty tough cookie already...

:hi:

[seemslikeadream]

8. don't you worry about it

:hug:

9. This pot isn't going to call the kettle black.

Sometimes when I log back into DU, I expect to have been locked out, or to find a censure email from the mods in my box. Emotions can run high, but most people here seem to understand. And some of us have really durable sensibilities. :)

10. I have no idea what you may be referring to,

but while I've never been censored or even had a thread I've started locked (but then I start very few) every so often I'll get into an argument with some other DUers that I'm slightly surprised doesn't result in censure. We all have our off days. We all get into arguments or worse. We all have opinions that others might not agree with. It's okay. We still love you.

Although I'm not sure about those who don't use spell check. I might tombstone them.

12. Did I miss a meltdown?

:hi:

[cliffordu]

13. Ah, you're OK - I leave here twice a week feeling like I need to apologize to some

knucklehead or another.....

[Mnemosyne]

14. I read it madeline_con, and understood .

where you were coming from completely.

You needed to blow off some steam, but I guess DU is becoming way too PC these days.

Sure is different than a few years ago, eh?

:hug::hi:

15. well hell... i'm sure i owe the entire board an apology for some post of mine...

but in the spirit of the op...

i too apologize to those of you i offended, or whose sensibilities i trampled.


that said, i can't promise i wont continue to challenge your opinions or ideas.

this is a "discussion" board, right? a bit of the old give and take. a big tent, right? we all have a voice...

[ColbertWatcher]

16. I don't even know what happened, but I would say you don't owe an apology.

You may feel like you should apologize, but this is a message board. People should be able to use language (written words) to voice any disagreement they might have had with you, or simply ignored you.

You've been around since 2005, it's not likely your behavior today would be that drastically different than any of your other 11,000+ posts.

Your apology is indicative of your integrity, but I don't see it as necessary.

:hi:

[Breeze54]

17. Well....

You donated and that's what counts. ;)

[Loudmxr]

18. I have no clue too. It takes courage to say what you did. You did the right thing
