Mr. The Joint. I don't suppose you caught the Fight Club reference? In this forum you've been given an opportunity to face the pain, release your ego, and humbly and honestly apologize. On your road to adulthood you will have other, but not likely as easy, opportunities, but why not take responsibility now rather than waiting to somehow grow up? |

On your road to adulthood you will have other, but not likely as easy, opportunities, but why not take responsibility now rather than waiting to somehow grow up? Netrin, you've been cool. That was the problem. I couldn't honestly apologize to the community. There's a problem when you apologize and then you feel guilty for apologizing. I felt more happy and comfortable with myself before the apology. I have regret for doing it in the first place. It is, as I said, undeserved. I think it's more adult to stand up for what you think and know is right than to preach social graces while being subtly -- or, as in the case of most responses, not-so-subtly -- graceless. |

I don't think I was offended, it's just, obviously you are realizing how silly you looked to everyone else the whole time, just a little too late.
it reminds me of the time Matthew N. Wright got into some dispute over 1 BTC he refused to pay an artist who completed the job he asked for, simply because the artist had made his demand for payment public because it wasn't getting anywhere. I have always viewed him as being in junior high ever since, though maybe he really is.
Your biggest mistake had nothing to do with UTC, it was that you felt (and probably still feel) that "the law" or "morals" or "ethics" entitled you to receive a gift from somebody who didn't choose to give it to you. The fact that you added "I think" makes no difference - we understand it's what "you think" - it's just, well, you paint yourself precisely as the moochers (Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand, 1957) that many of us abhor. All moochers think that people have an obligation to give them things in exchange for nothing. (I bet if you go read the book and convince us you actually read it, you'll gain back much of the respect you lost in that thread! lol...google for the cliff's notes if the length is a problem)
+1 on all counts... |

ALWAYS! joking aside... i don't think individuals should say talk for the community, without at least a great majority agrees. it was just to say that i disagree with his statement, and i do not wish to get included in his "everyone". |

Ok...you are good at math. Cool story. Pretty much everyone has something they are good at. That would be the exception, not the rule. |
