    New sunrise, new time.
    Second chances are welcomed like fine wine

    Lets all breathe this mornings fresh air and start anew
    Lets let the fighting subside for a few

    Times are tough, tense and stress flows rampant
    lets start anew and forget about the rampage

    Everyone should be given a second chance
    I'm willing to dance a new dance

    Forgiveness I can do, its true
    But lets not forget, it takes two.

    I'd like to start a new thread, but I won't. It's taking every ounce of my willpower to refrain from doing so but I'll be good. I am one crazy motherfucker!

    I don't think threads like these are working the way you think OB.
    In fact I'll bet you threads like these come across as far from genuine.

    Everyone involved just needs to stop talking to one another for at least a couple days.
    Give Sly a break.

    But that's just my two cents.
    No one really asked for it so I'll just do what I normally do.
    Stop posting on the forum for a bit. Because frankly I've had enough of the toxic community/people pretending to be innocent and the cliques.

    Makes me think of this scene from Sister Act 2. "It's a brand new day, ladies and gentlemen. A brand new day."

    Well that's unfortunate.

    Trying to make light of things, but absolutely genuine. But I cant control others' opinions. :)

    It is unfortunate.
    But there are people in this world who don't appreciate 'olive branches' .
    I myself look at it this way.
    Respect is given freely to any human. But that respect can be lost. When it is, it's near impossible to gain back.
    There are people on this forum who've lost my respect and I want nothing to do with them. Nor do I care what they say.

    I might be off, but I believe there are people on here that see 'olive branches' as an attack because they don't respect you.
    At the end of the day that's what it comes down to. If people on both sides respected others a bit more, the mods wouldn't have to donate as much time as they do to this site.

    To me you seem like a decent dude OB. You own up to things if someone perceives something you said was offensive. Even if you meant it as a joke you more often than not go 'my bad'.
    Others on both sides of this don't do that as often. As frankly, they don't care.

    @Orion Bailey , you can try the olive branch and see if it works. I think it's commendable of you for trying. I've grown to know you as a friend. I can safely say you have good intentions.

    Here's to you trying. :cheers:

    Thanks man. No one is perfect, but its one of the things I was brought up to be. Which is honest. If you make a mistake you own up to it. I've learned that gets much more respect than not being accountable. But mostly, it provides me peace of mind. :)

    Most of us try to be better people I believe. :)

    Remember how I said 90 mins later I forget who I'm in an argument with? It applies here.

    Life is too short to hold onto anger. It's interesting that you used the word "day", because that is the last name of someone I know who is dying of cancer.

    For what its worth, I would like to issue a formal apology to @THE HCP & @CupWizier for anything i've said they have considered offensive or insulting. Ill try to refrain from such behavior moving forward even if I believe i'm not being offensive and/or insulting.

    Take it for what its worth, or leave it. Its genuine and hoping we can just move on and ignore or get along without continuing the back and forth and bringing the drama down.

    My apologies for my partaking in the escalation. Lets all just try to respect on another. :)
