Apology for Drama

I know the ignore button is my friend in that regard and I had been using it to good effect for some time but that “view post” button is a little too tempting to click sometimes. I wish we had the option to remove the temptation.

I know not everyone will believe this, but I truly don’t enjoy drama and conflict, and when there is legitimate conflict I prefer to handle it privately. I haven’t always done a great job of that myself, I realize, even outside of the troll situations.

What I do enjoy is trying to make this board a more fun, thought-provoking, and helpful place, and interacting positively with a really cool and awesome bunch of people that I never would have met except for this wonderful thing we call the hobby. I realize that engaging in drama promotes the opposite of these things. I’d rather be a guy who gets along with everyone and ignores those who have an agenda to promote discord. Unfortunately the heat of the moment gets the better of me sometimes and I don’t always live up to my best self that I want to be here. Mea culpa.

That was so very sweet of you my dear magnificent friend (just one of the many reasons why you are favored and highly appreciated by many).
We are all guilty of entertaining the wonderful world of drama. Although it's negative, it's needed for balance. (Its when you don't or can't shut it off is when it becomes a problem).
I appreciate your unnecessary apology
Guess whos getting the spankings next time

Hey man, happens to all of us from time to time. As long as you can admit your missteps, take it as a learning experience, and try to be a better person afterwards, most people will forgive you, myself included.

Thanks for the kind words, friends. I do deserve a spanking though, and I do believe Nova is the right person to give it to me...

It was minimal drama so no problemo. Biggest disturbance was all the horrible poetry that now seems never ending.

Yes, that counts as discipline of a sort, but I think I grok your motivation, and I'm very confident it doesn't count as punishment for your transgression.

Cheers,

I just see it as an object lesson in the principle that no good deed goes unpunished.

Cheers,

so essentially all deeds lead to punishment?

No. In my experience bad deeds often go unpunished. (No, not always, just often.)
