Astro, I was merely trying to make light of a silly mistake made by me, i.e. saying anything at all about stp pic! let me set the record straight please. I personally thought it was funny as hell, i just also thought it should stay in stevos gallery not the forums, because i still think it was a little questionable re: being seen by kids[ANYONES KIDS, OK] what i actually spat the dummy at was not stevos pic but the whinging, sarcasm and general nastiness that goes on, on a site that afterall is about reptiles. Somehow my timing was off or i just shouldnt have mentioned the two together in the same post because it seems nearly everyone thought i was spitting about the silly nude pic. The point is we all make mistakes of judgment, and sometimes annoy the piss out of others etc, it is then natural human behaviour to get all selfrighteous and upset when the finger is pointing at you. As Slatey said
none of us are getting younger, life is too short! This is a good site but a site is only as good as its members make it, right? so how about a general truce? I officially apologise to anyone I have upset in any way at any time, sorry for calling you a pain astro, i think i have upset you the most ,my apologies, also my apologies to the slates, i honestly meant no harm or disrespect by posting the booby pic, i geuinly forgot about kids, forum rules, the stp pic fiasco the lot, i just saw this funny pic and whacked it on withjout thinking at all. Sorry. I did intentionally delay removing it, to wind people up, for that im sorry too, i sometimes have a warped sense of humour, what can i say? im a product of my upbringing. sorry Stevo and pop, you were justified in your outrage because you didnt know it was a geuine error of judgement and thats because I didnt tell you till you had me tied to the stake, so to speak. I also want to point out that I left a link to the pic, not to antagonise you all further but because i didnt take the time to read the forum rules, which no doubt rule out links to nude pics aswell. Had I known the link was unacceptable i would have removed that aswell. again my apologies to all. This whole silly thing has blown out to nitemare proportions and you all no doubt now have a much distorted negative opinion of me as some kind of a**hole, seen through the red tinted glasses of anger and outrage, which honestly couldnt be further from the truth. Some of you met me and thats the person i really am, I dont make a habit of rubbing people the wrong way, in real life Ive met very few people i didnt like and very few that didnt like me. Its very easy to become someone your not on the internet, your just typing away and those people are just names on the screen.there is no sense of reality or emotional control that is natural in company in the flesh, hence limited prohibitions and a tendancy to sometimes behave contrary to real life. its too easy to beleive that unlike real people[in the flesh] that these names on a computer screen have feelings, or a right opinion, even if its contrary to your own. you cant see there faces, you cant tell how there feeling, you cant read body language. those of you that i have met personally, i want to apologise especially, in the flesh i would shake your hand ansd apologise most sincerly. words on a screen have little impact as i said, you cant see my face, you cant tell that i really mean it, but i do, this is how i mean that its easy to be a different person online. as for coming back the next day, i guess that just shows what a good site it is and how entertaining you all are, even if your cranky as hell at me. anyway im tired of this stuff and id much rather be cheerful and freindly to all, regardless your opinion of me, so i will be making a big effort to remember that even though your not physically present , i should treat you as though you were. ~ Dan
