An open apology - Page 4

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.

I'll second that. For that reason and others I'm careful about letting my personal info be known on this or any board. I think it's in pretty bad form to post someone else's personal info even if it is publicly available information. It could be used in many different ways, including identity theft.

Agreed. That is way beyond stupid...

I go to work for a few hours and look at all the shit you kids get yourselves into.

Just don't look under the carpet, okay?

DanT · 03-03-2003, 05:04 PM

Damn, that's harsh. Kinda reminds me of that scene in Deal of the Century where Gregory Hines responds to the petty thuggery of a gang of young hoodlums by pulling a flamethrower from the back of his car and firing their vehicle up. In other words, it's kinda funny. Still, it's harsh. But it's funny. It's funny in a harsh kind of way. Or, if you prefer, harsh in a funny kind of way. Oh well, too bad, so sad, tee-hee.

Some Philadelphia Lawyer came onto the board talking crap. His personal info was revealed to the board. We made sport of it. At least one of us contacted the dude's boss. The dude apologized sometime after the personal info got revealed. It's unclear whether the apology came before or after the dude's boss was contacted.

Chiefnj · 03-03-2003, 05:08 PM

DanT,

I think you left out the part where some members of the Planet first went to an Eagle's board to talk smaque about signing Barber. A troll then followed them back to the Planet.

Brock · 03-03-2003, 05:08 PM

He was really sorry. After being nailed to the Tree of Woe, that is.

stevieray · 03-03-2003, 05:09 PM

Wow. Thanks, Dan.....harsh in a funny kind of way.

That is pretty uncool though, you don't mess with a mans job.

Radar Chief · 03-03-2003, 05:10 PM

Good reason just to stay the **** out of chit like this.

100

Sorry, I didn't know that. I came onto the board well after the incident got underway. I should have stated that I only know part of the story. Thanks for the additional info, Chiefnj.

I just hope that it'll all end up like in that Office Max commercial where the boss and the underling will one day just look back at the whole fiasco and laugh and laugh.

Baby Lee, I just gotta say that I love your pic in your sig.....

papasmurf · 03-03-2003, 05:15 PM

I don't know what this guy said and don't really care. This is a place to come to have fun with other chief and football fans. Messing with a man job is taboo. I consider this a black day in chiefplanet history.

That's really helpful. My previous sig had the 'mad dangler' in front of a bull in bullfighter gear, using the baby as a cape.

I agree messing with sending his boss an e-mail was going too far....

However, the dude wasn't the brightest bulb in the gallery---coming on here and "leaving a business card" as TJ said...

DenverChief · 03-03-2003, 05:52 PM

I'm Curious, how did his boss know it was him?...I mean couldn't someone as easily copy and pasted an Ernie Conwell or Recount post and sent it to him?

**jAZ** · 03-03-2003, 06:08 PM

i completely agree...

Then he whines: "I thought it was in good fun" Bullshit. He never gave and took. He posted his crap and then moved on starting another thread of crap. This guy is the very definition of troll and I have no sympathy for him.

Was emailing his boss too far? Maybe, but I really don't give a fug.

Was it the reaction he expected? Probably not, but he had to expect a reaction. And if he is too stupid to poke a bear and not cover his ass then shame on him for getting bit.

Brock · 03-03-2003, 06:11 PM

The a-hole got what he deserved.

DenverChief · 03-03-2003, 06:11 PM

On another note when you get busted by the cops by making an ass of yourself, these things tend to get back to your boss esp. if you are an attorney...he should have known better IMO....that still doesn't excuse the email...but still....

whoman69 · 03-03-2003, 06:24 PM

I think this problem clearly shows that e-mail addresses and other such pertinent info should be taken off as an option. Only the mods should be able to e-mail to other members. The smoke signal option is good for short messages. If two planet members wish to exchange e-mail addresses they can do so thru a smoke signal. Too many times we have had idiots abusing e-mail and spamming members. The information highway is a place people can get hit in a hurry.

The email was collected from his jobs webpage...not Chiefsplanet....just to clarify

JimNasium · 03-03-2003, 07:16 PM

What it all boils down to is that some idiot (namely me) went to the Iggles BB and lured this poor, hapless, brainless sap over here so he could get rolled by a bunch of meanie Chiefs fans. Ultimately I am responsible for this tragedy and I believe I should be banned. Who's with me?
