OFF TOPIC but I'm sorry.

I sincerely apologize for being snarky snippy and bitchy lately. I've stayed away hoping it would pass. I know you guys are pretty bright overall with your own predisposition toward your own world views. It just seems like things are so complex out there yet in every thread we seem to attack these issues in a vacuum. In any case, I'll try to be better or stay awhile til I am less bitchy.

Apology accepted, but seriously never thought anything was over the top. But the fact that you humbled yourself and posted about it says alot. We will continue to look forward to your comments.

(snarky), I like that one, don't hear that much.

""It just seems like things are so complex out there yet in every thread we seem to attack these issues in a vacuum."" ??? do we? i think we are all generally pretty vocal and tend to view things from a personal stance plus a larger picture stance and care alot about alot of topics here whether we agree or not. but i guess one who is in a vaccuum doesnt realize it?

i woulda thunk it doubtful anyone here takes comments particularly personally if any of us get uh...outspoken or irate or frustrated. or gives any comments posted a whole lotta thought except when they are logged into the site. but apparently card would disagree with me on that too. if you take a break i hope you will still pop in and join the talk now and then!

Vis, everyone in here is snarky at times ... yes, even me.

I like the "pretty bright overall" comment. I am, admittedly, perhaps reading too much into that, but it gave me a chuckle. Thanks, Vis, and don't stay away. The beauty of a message board is that no one HAS to read it, so if you're too ornery, I'll just ignore your posts. (haven't noticed that, BTW, but I don't have as much time to post as I used to.)

Stick around -- maybe if you vent here, you'll be less bitchy. Or, at least you'll have more fun while being so.

What I keep in mind while reading "The Board" is,
"Opinion's, everyone has one and that is all this is, an opinion"
With that in mind, I rarely am sparked, angered, etc by anything written here.

Bless you. Now go in peace.

I just got done reading GM's 'mea culpa' article in the NYT. I'm pretty sure this was their fault.

What'd I miss? Vis lay the smack down on someone???

Vis, please dont go, all the plants are gonna die!!!!

Um, that doesn't read as well as I 'd hoped and it wasn't meant as a backhanded insult We are a small group that posts about a lot of topics and as a group the posts are insightful and well thought out. While posting a snaky response I did a gut check and thought: "why am I being a prick, I just disagree with their position, these people are not idiots, I am simply looking at the situation from my own worldview the same as them" so anyway, I hope the explanation didn't make it worse

I'm trying to find the snarky comment... I know for certain that I'm an idiot, but I am smart enough to realize this, so your "overall" comment didnt ruffle my feathers (much). I'm still trying to find the prick post, damn the search feature. There's only been one person on this board who has ever actually offended me.... If you go through a quick process of elimination, you will know it's not you.

YES. Damn it. Damn it to hell.

Vis, if you want to do some penance, fix/improve the (damn) search feature.
