I want to apologise

[Christopher]

To everybody that has taken offense to my posts, I've received a lot of messages today from people claiming they detest me and one who wants to leave due to my presence. Now I first want to make it clear that there was no malicious behavior on my behalf and this is the first time I've used a forum so have had to adjust the way I post. It appears that for some reason people think I have a vendetta against lesbians, this has come from out of the blue and while I don't want to use my bisexual friend or my gay sister as an example, I'm going to have to. Would somebody that rents his spare room out to a lesbian really be against them? Nope, and I find it upsetting that some of you would think that. It's not true and I don't want to be accused of homophobia again.

However, I realise that I may have made a few jokes I shouldn't and for that I apologise. I have messaged anybody I know that was upset by me but to those that refuse to make themselves known, I am sorry. Hopefully you'll reconsider leaving BB as that is a foolish decision. I do think maybe some prominent forumites could do with relaxing and being a little less uptight and would appreciate it if they put in the effort to chill out a bit and focus less on forum politics and more on discussing Buffy etc, in the same way that I have been attempting to be a little more politically correct in my posts.

Once again I'm sorry, and hopefully everyone can get on a bit better in the future 🙂

Haha you apologised! Pussy! That's a derogatory word for a female. And you don't like us.

Nah I've always liked you.

I must have been gone a long time, I didn't know that language like that was used openly on this board, caitaintdead.

Why is a pussy cat offensive? I don't get it...

You kind of remind me of a guy that was intelligent but kept on overstepping the limits of my patience. I can laugh of lot of things, but after a time, the guy was just not funny anymore, he even made a few rape jokes after I deleted him from Facebook and started not saying hi to him when I was seeing him.

You don't remind me of him because you make rape jokes, because obviously, you don't do any of those. But you had me some times when I was thinking "Really?" or "I'm not sure I can really laugh to that". But, compared to the other guy, you don't always make 'borderline' comments, you balance it with a fair number of clever posts.

My point is: you are sometimes a bit of a jerk, but it doesn't automatically make you the guy to hate, you know what I mean?
I mean that I sometimes get a bit pissed reading what you write but it's not 100% of the time. In other terms, you are like the guy I talked about earlier, unless you are intelligent enough to realise that you sometimes push things a bit far and I reckon you really do try to behave! 🙂

Hmmm how odd is it that the person you are mentioning wanting to leave BB is me. Which seems odd to me because yes I did say that, but I didnt say it anywhere on this board. The only place I did say it though, was on twitter, and my tweets are private. The only way you could have read that, is if I let you follow me (which let's face it, I wouldn't let you at all) or if you read my convo with another forumite. This leads ne to beli e that you are indeed a stalker.

Also, as for your apology, we all know it's bs. Stop with the act already and grow up. I've never seen someone so hungry for attention. It's ridiculous. You claim you aren't doing anything wrong and that you don't know any forum etiquete. It's called morals and common sense. While I myself have said some mildly in appropriate things, I don't think anyone has ever been offended with anything I have said, which is more than I can say for you.

There are young kids on this board. Your overstating statements are bot needed or wanted.

Also, I'm done caring. So this is my last post to you or concerning anything you say. 🙂

Or it could be because Zobo mentioned that a forumite was upset with me and considering leaving, hence me creating my post. I've never used Twitter in my life and wasn't aware it was you that wanted to leave. Calling me a stalker is almost as crazy as calling me a homophobe.

Ok.. this whole sentence is gibberish to me and I'm not going to reply as it would become an argument. This thread isn't meant to antagonise and while I will defend myself and ask for evidence of any of my 'shocking anti-lesbian behavior' I'm not going to fight with anyone. You should probably put me on ignore from now on, I have no problem with that 🙂

I never said that... I considered it but figured Jo wouldn't want me to say anything so I didn't. I mad a conscious decision to NOT say that. Please rumors and gossip is not my thing.

I think it's good that you're apologising. I don't think it's a good idea to be putting people down in the same post you do it in though. You deserve the same respect as everyone else here, but you also need to give that same respect back.

Hope you have a fun and dramafree time here on BB from now on!

Zobo, sorry- it wasn't you who said that it was 'Willowmylove'. My mistake!

 

[StarSlayer]

I appreciate the apology. But right now, I can't accept it because you've said some things to me and others I know on the BB that I found out of line. Maybe in time, but I'll believe it when I see it. 🙂

I'm uptight and most of the time I don't have a problem with it. Some do though but that's life. Some more chilling on my part from time to time wouldn't hurt. Got no trouble admitting that. It bugs me when someone think they can do what ever they want and when people don't like it they just tell them to relax and to be able to take a joke. Maybe everyone need to change a little and not just everyone else.

If people want and try to better themselves they deserve a chance. Just saying they want to but show nothing of the kind annoy the hell out of me. An apology doesn't mean a thing if it isn't followed up by actions. Which one you are? No idea, only time will tell.

I'm far from reading all your posts but I think it's clear that so far we're not on the same level. We obviously don't have the same kind of humour. I can definitely take a joke, just not the ones I think suck. Things can always change though. They don't always do but they can. Once agan, only time will tell.

Yeah, I'm sure that is what you meant given the context of your post.

Just a note not to turn this into a fight thread.

Also if someone does have an issue with another member, of course you can PM that person, but it's probably better to send it to a member of staff, sending a PM to another member saying you don't like them isn't really appropriate, and could be seen as just as mean as someone saying something you take offense to in the open.

It was nice of AA to apologize, and I think it can be agreed that if you see a post from him you probably judge it faster then you would if another member posted it, so I do see what he means by people jumping at him, but he has said he wants to try and change, so lets give him the benefit of the doubt and if not, or there is any further issues, please let a member of staff know, you can PM anyone of us or there is the confidential Members concern forum

Hey thanks for completely calling me out when I was trying to help you.

Joann, I didn't name any names, I just really would hate to see you go. You're one of my favorite people here and I do consider you a friend.

I understand what you're trying to do, and I appreciate the gesture, but I think people are going to have a hard time believing you until you show you mean what you say.

 

[Buffy Summers]

If you are receiving malicious pm's, please report them.

If you follow the rules of the board, you will have no problem here.

Closing this now as this thread is unecessary and as BEG said, talking about each other here is not the kind of behavior we want to see here on the board.
