An open apology

AmericanHero · 03-03-2003, 02:57 PM

I apologize. For everything.

I have clearly misunderstood how seriously some people take this stuff.

To me, this was harmless fun, an exchange of insults among fans of different teams. We don't know each other and these are just words typed on a message board. I didn't intend to hurt anyone.

But now I have been hurt. Badly. My employment status has been affected.

So I am sorry. I truly didn't mean for it to come to this.

Care to compare standardized test scores between Philly and KC?

Ignorance and stupidity abound in the city of brotherly love.

By the way, when was the last time a team from Philly won a title in anything? Sixers in 1983 is all that comes to mind.

I would be merciful and let this go. But that's just me.

03-03-2003, 03:01 PM

Who's France Now?

I'm sorry if your employment was affected, but you're the one who bent over, spread your pretty city cheeks and dared the entire board to fist you.

Smack is fine, but what you did was an out and out challenge.

Apology accepted.

**CosmicPal** · 03-03-2003, 03:02 PM

Man, I feel sorry for you- I really do...

You insulted the integrity and the intelligence of Chief's fans, football fans, and Kansas Citiens everywhere.

I will personally accept your apologies, but let it be known Kansas City, it's people, and it's fans our the best in the world- and they will always, if not courageously, be so in devotion.

03-03-2003, 03:02 PM

Very good. We've all learned a lesson today. Are you ready to discover how forgiving midwesterners can be? I accept your apology and will take administrative action on the threads in question immediately.

Are you ready to talk some football now?

One Arrowhead Dave · 03-03-2003, 03:02 PM

Merci beaucoup

Infidel Goat · 03-03-2003, 03:02 PM

I think people ought to accept his apology and move on.

And, yes, I do have a sense of humor.

Let me see, I'm just a little ol' native Kansas Citian, but that sounds to me like he's blaming us for something, like it's our fault that our board--which has a proven record for being hospitable to fans of other teams, including the establishment of a Patriots' fan board--doesn't tolerate classless nonsense.

I second the motion...talking smack is one thing...spamming and trolling are another and are dealt with 'harshly' here.

Serious or not, you dont walk up to people you dont know and start calling them 'bundle of stickss' or 'douchebags' w/o getting to know them first.

Taco John · 03-03-2003, 03:06 PM

It's a public board dude...

It's like everybody is sitting at Starbucks, you run in and piss on the table while slapping the coffee out of everybody's hands "in good fun," and then running off accidentally dropping a business card...

I guess you've learned a lesson here... If you're going to be a jackass, you'd better not do it while using the company's computer...

or, more appropriately...

If you're going to be a jackass, know where the line is, and don't cross it... because the further you cross, the deeper the line on your side will get crossed.

Chiefnj · 03-03-2003, 03:08 PM

I think some people on this board should be grateful that the administrators of the Eagles board didn't take the same approach that people did here.

Braincase · 03-03-2003, 03:08 PM

Are you apologizing for what you said, or are you apologizing for getting caught?

Seems that this Eagles fan has laid a rotten egg, and can't get rid of it.

Great point, BC!

That's why I called him a snivelling little b!tch, relative to his apology. Fug him. He made his bed of $hit, now he can eat and sleep in it.

RINGLEADER · 03-03-2003, 03:12 PM

I have no idea what you did, but I did see a post attributed to you that contained some slanderous generalizations.

I'd think you, as an attorney, would have realized that you're opening yourself up to charges of prejudice for the rest of your career. I know if I was opposing counsel I'd do everything in my power to show that you have problems with wide segments of the population.

And I'm really questioning your skills by posting an apology that essentially admits that you're the author of the disparaging commentary.

So if we got this dude fired, can you imagine:

Interviewer: So why did you loose your last job?

AH: Misappropriation of Network Resources....

Interviewer: Ah, so you were looking at porn from your office?

AH: Um, ah, No...No.. I got bitch slapped over at Chiefs Planet...
