How Do You Admit You Were Wrong? Or Do you Ever?
Semi-recently, I wrote someone an apology pm on an alternative message board about something that I wrote 4 years ago, that I now feel bad about for I was wrong for 1.) the way I went about writing it in such abrasive fashion and 2.) the opinion I had in the matter...my judgment/opinion was wrong. I didn't think so until now, but after thinking about it I retrospect and after viewing the wrestling match I ranted about... I was 100% dead wrong about the way the match was called and especially the way I called the situation out (publicly, disrespectfully, in it's own thread).

This guy (fan of the opposing school) wrote back and initially acted like he was not going accept my apology, for he began his response by ranting about how ignorant I was for posting what I did...basically restating what I did in the apology letter. However, he concluded with something along the lines of, "I do appreciate that you are willing to be a man and own up to your lack of judgment in that situation."

It got me thinking about how good, bad, consistent, inconsistent, etc. I am at admitting I am wrong. It took me 4 years to not only admit I was wrong about this situation, but to realize it. I don't think it was due to not WANTING to admit I was wrong or due to the fact that I never really personally liked the poster I was interacting with, but it just took me that long to realize I was wrong.

It made me wonder if I would have realized I was wrong sooner if I had a better opinion of the person I interacted with in that situation. It made me question my biases in regards to admitting being wrong...and how often or how heavily they come in to play in realizing you were wrong.

I also wondered why, after 4 years I felt obliged to write this guy a pm, admitting my mistake and lack of judgment... I mean, 4 years had passed...I'm assuming plenty of people who read it probably forgot about it...yet, I still felt the urge to acknowledge, after all these years, randomly and out of nowhere, that I was a total jackass.

I don't know...I'm having a tough time wrapping my head around this and was wondering if any of you have had similar situations. Do you guys admit you are wrong? If so, is it tough for you to do? Do you ever think you are wrong to begin with? Is it easier for you to admit to someone you respect that you were wrong opposed to someone you don't get along with? Is it difficult for you to admit publicly that you were wrong about something? If so, what makes it difficult? Is it an ego thing? Would any of you have went out of your way to apologize about something you wrote/said that was wrong, 4 years later or would you have just let it go?

Seriously. Must have been some epic shit that actually had consequence to merit even thinking about four years after the fact.
My brother wrestled this kid for 3rd and 4th at state... At the time, I didn't like the way the opponent wrestled when they were not on their feet...I thought he stalled. I was ticked at the time and started a thread where I detailed my personal thoughts about the match, that kid's style and how he was coached to wrestle. This kid and my bro were in 7th freaking grade at the time (seriously, the youth forum on the Iowa wrestling forum is the most rabid...it's crazy). Along with this kid being just a 7th grader, he is also one of the nicest, classiest kids you'll ever meet. To add onto it, I re-watched the video semi-recently and the kid was not stalling...he was getting off to the side trying to work pinning combinations. I was wrong in every facet of that thread...not only my opinion of how the kid wrestled the match, but especially the demeaning, disrespectful and public way I called this kid and the coaching staff out..in it's own thread. I've never been more disgusted with myself due to a message board experience.

I don't really think you are wrong too often. In fact, I can't recall ever disagreeing with anything you've written. Marriage made you wrong about yourself.

You know, despite your past transgressions against humanity and your amazing lack of football knowledge, you are a borderline okay dude.

At least on this board.

It's easier to apologize than to get permission.

Thanks man!

I'm awesome on one board...the board I made the apology in. I know my shit there. There was a forum a few years ago that I posted at (blog catalog), but I sucked there....whenever I'd join a discussion there, I'd feel like I not only interrupted their stupid little tea party, but proceeded to climb on top of their table, pull my pants down, spread my cheeks and take a shit on their table, while no one acknowledged it other than the ultra-positive aphorism blogger who would come up with something to break the silence that indicated that he was trying to make sense of my buffoonery. Yeah, I didn't last long at that gay place. Like a decade ago, I'd post on the IMDB boards and would do nothing, but troll those feels...so whether I sucked or not there is 100% dependent on how you feel about trolls.

Did you pick up a skank?!?! If so, she must have been the type that doesn't like to waste time...which is awesome! It's a bonus if you don't have to waste time on a skank that you likely won't have any future with besides maybe going to Poundtown on occasion. Props in advance, big guy...taking care of business!!!

No, no skank.

I missed my chance on Friday night when a bunch of us from work went out to see a band and our receptionist (who one of our other gals calls an R rated Disney Princess) started grabbing my ass and fell in front of me and pulled herself up by attaching her lips to my neck.

That was going to be a bad deal all the way around.

I'm just getting towards the end of my celibacy cycle. Don't know if I'm quite ready yet, but I'm getting there.

Thanks for the encouragement though.

I like your positivitiness.
