It has become apparent to me that my behavior on this forum has really painted me in a corner and made it near impossible to tell whether I am serious or not. In my fun and games over the years I have played roles in an attempt to provide entertainment and humor to this forum. It has come to light that I have played these games far too long and far too hard and am at a point where I am mostly misunderstood. This is 100% on me. I own it. Unfortunately, I was blind and ignorant to this growing issue until I actually found something in this forum that truly got under my skin and brought out actual emotions. In my attempt to explain it, I realized that there is no way for me to show how serious I am because I have played games acting serious about so many things on here and cried wolf far too many times. With so many new members, I could see people digging through the history and painting a picture of how they view me based on how I am act on this forum and form an inaccurate opinion of me. Sometimes it is easy to just chug along playing games you find fun, not realizing how serious others are taking it because you don't take it serious yourself. My ignorance on this has gotten the better of me and I apologize for this. I finally took a post serious, being called a liar, and realized that this defamation of my character, regardless of whether it is true or not, is of my own doing. Though I do believe it to be very serious when discussing another persons honesty and that shouldn't be joked with (all we really have in life is our word), I have no one to blame for this but myself. I apologize to all for my behavior, thinking everyone else was having fun, just because I was. I will always be a jokester and take very little serious. This is me and if you have met me in person, you know this. However, on this forum, I will no longer try to be the forum comedian, and will work on improving my communication with other members to help provide a lighter atmosphere. Again, If you are one who has been annoyed by my antics and not entertained, I apologize. That was not my intent.
This was/is very big of you! To be honest, I was going to mention something to you lately but just haven't yet. It did seem like it was getting worse. But, I don't want it to change you so much that you aren't the same type of poster you were up until a month or so ago.
I'd like to apologize to everyone I've ever offended, except for PapaG (the former poster, not the current player). That guy was a dick. BNM
Seriously, I've noticed a lot of infighting and personal feuds around here lately. I kind of stepped into the middle of one yesterday without realizing what I'd done. So, to everyone: lighten up, stop holding grudges and play nice with others. We're all Blazers fans and want what's best for the team. We just happen to disagree from time to time on exactly what's "best". Big deal, disagree and move on. It's not like any of us are the ones making the trades, firing the coach, etc. Speak your mind, but let others do so as well. BNM
Who the hell are you to tell me to lighten up, huh? What if don't want to lighten up? What if I wanna darken down? What do you got to say to that, huh buddy? You got a problem with that? Well then I've got a problem with you. Yeah, that's right, you read me cupcake! I'm not out of order--you're out of order. This whole SYSTEM'S out of order!!
I kind of think you are hilarious.... But yes duly noted. And quit being such a whiny B.... Oh someone already got that. Okay Okay i know how to use the green font.
Well done and appreciate the honesty as I have also apologized a few times as it's easy to get carried away and in a forum where it is just written words emotions and meanings can often be lost in translation. I know you and I have had our feuds recently and take responsibility for my end of it but we should be able to rise above our pettiness and let bygones be bygones and move forward.
So ya big jerk, when you’re done groveling (nicely done BTW) when are we gonna hook up for a beer to celebrate the new crib?? I’m just basically down the road.......and the Backstop Pub on N.Grant in Canby is a good place for a cold one.....
