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?

I don't try to convince people that I'm perfect, so it's not hard to admit when I'm wrong.

Nothing wrong with admitting being wrong. I am always embarrassed for those that are unwilling to admit being wrong on a forum. The internet egos often exhibited are ridiculous and sad.

No one here likely gets paid to scout the draft... or evaluate game film.. or give their opinions on anything. So with that in mind, why really care about saying, "oops.. my bad" ?

That's wrong, there are only like... 37 questions.

Now apologize to me and admit you were wrong for saying that.

If I don't know, I usually keep my damn face shut. I usually am right if I'm spouting off about it. However, if I'm wrong I almost always admit it. I usually don't make a big deal about it, but it's important IMO.

Yeah, I can see that... Thanks for the input.

And please, let's not turn this into an Alex Smith, "you are wrong about him" finger-pointing contest, for that would be wrong of you to do.

Just kidding, it was wrong of me to initiate an Alex Smith jab at you without provocation. I am sorry about that. Was just a lame joke, home-diddly.

I usually do not have to admit when I am wrong since it is most often blatantly obvious that I was.
