Actually, I prefer the term 'snarkylicous' if I must be labeled...
But seriously, what kind of person starts a thread, then about the first page from what I read, just stops posting. Starts with an L, ends with an R...
My daddy always told me don't start something unless you intend to finish it. He also taught me an apology goes a long way, when it is sincere. Like I said earlier, Matt, you started this thread wanting public opinion of the situation, and according to the count, it looks like your opinion is in the vast minority. Not saying the majority always rules, but in this case, well, I am saying just that. You've got a lot of nerve opening up a bad-guy thread on the owner of this site, then not following through and knowing when to bow out, doing so graciously. Even if by some stretch of the imagination you could come up with a plausible defense, it would do you no good in this forum to embark on a summation when you have not defended your position now for so long. Just admit it buddy - you screwed up, ask for forgiveness, and take some lumps until your reputation hopefully improves in maybe two or three generations...
The alternative is do exactly what you are doing, and not say a thing - I've seen rats play that role when they were thrown into a big tub full of hungry savannah monitors.
One would hug the wall of the tub and seemed to be saying "I am a piece of pinebark, I am a piece of pinebark", only to be eaten anyway. If you are going to go out, at least shoot the lizard a bird or something. Otherwise, try the apology approach. Trust me, crow is better served piping hot than cold as a leftover.
Here, I'll get you started where all you have to do is copy and paste:
Dear Webslave,
I don't know how it got to this point, but I sure wish it hadn't. I could go on about how unfair life has been to me at this point, how my dog got pregnant and miscarried, how my car threw a rod when I thought the 100k-mile service plan meant I didn't have to change oil for that long, but I won't. Just suffice it to say I screwed up. I don't know what I was thinking when I started this thread. Seemed like a good idea at the time, and I think listening to Rob Zombi telling me 'There's only one way to bring the giant down' might have had something to do with it. Either that, or maybe I have a gas leak somewhere in the kitchen I don't know about. Anyway, please accept my most humble apology for calling you out, as it were, on your own forum. It will not happen again sir, at least not without you actually being very snarky indeed.
Best Regards,
Matthew Cossman
