Maybe several of the posters who have been so quick to jump on this incident would like to explain why they remember it so vividly.
I did apologize for being dishonest and trying to play the very same type of game I decried and for engaging in the very same type of behavior I found hurtful to me.
You all can believe this or you can choose not to. That's your choice.
The fact that a person can do something over two years ago, admit that it was wrong and a mistake, apologize for it and then try to be a contributing member and still have this brought up as their one burning legacy speaks to an attitude of judgement.
Maybe you all have never made even one tiny mistake. I certainly admit that I have- in fact more than one. This was a big one. I guess for some that will always be what I'm about. And that's fine.
Luckily some others see me differently. But even if they don't , I'm happy to have a place to post my attempts at creativity. And I'm happy that some people are able to forgive and forget.
Well, I never saw this post before today, but I wouldn't wonder why people who did see it remember it so vividly. It is certainly something that would stay in my memory, not something I'd forget.
As far as asking people to explain why they remember it, well, who is anyone to ask someone else to explain themselves? In fact, it seems you have more of an onus to explain yourself, but I wouldn't ask you to, because it's not that interesting.
Your words are very defensive. You minimize your lie by calling it a tiny mistake, and then jump on the "Maybe no one here has ever made a tiny mistake"....trying to take the focus off of youself, and engage others in an attempt to admit their foibles....keep it on you, be accountable and don't try to slide it onto someone else plate.
Also, a pet peeve of mine, is immediately jumping on the "you're judgemental" wagon. Again, whenever someone starts in with that, I know they're just trying to take the spotlight off themselves.
I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, or mildly popular here, but I can say that if someone wants to judge me, go right ahead. It's not like me calling someone judgemental is going to change what they think.
One thing, I notice you like to go on about how much people in the real world like you, and how nice you are.....So what? What's your point?
This isn't meant as an invitation to argue/discuss....just my viewpoint.
Respond or not, your perogative. But further input will be coming from someone else, if they choose to respond.
