See. This is why I stay unsubscribed and stick to the archives! I�m forever
getting myself in trouble! I couldn�t even do something as simple as
announcing my eBay auctions without sparking an old fashioned western high
noon shoot out. Dang blasted those corny jokes! They get me every time.
Anyhow, given that it has been suggested off-list that I go indulge in single-
handed sexual acts of pleasure (i.e., go screw myself), I�m guessing that not
everyone found my previous post amusing. But in all honesty, I feel like this:
If you do something dumb to draw attention to yourself, then just stand up and
take the ridicule. Hey, we all make mistakes. Come on, Billy, you publicly
called me stupid when in fact it was you that missed the boat. Big time! <g>
How can you not see the humor in that? Besides, you were quick enough to dish
it out. So likewise, I kinda thought you could take the lumps that were coming
your way (you know, the silly old �you can�t have it both ways� adage). But I
was sadly mistaken.
With that said, I will say that I admittedly went overboard in my retort.
Albeit indirectly, I referred to a couple of list members as stupid. That was
flat-out wrong, and I sincerely apologize for my actions in this respect. I
realize now that �Silly�, at best, would have been more appropriate� but in
hindsight (or maybe just not saying a damn thing... hmmm. I should try that
some time <g>). I see that using words like stupid and dumb were going
overboard; making myself look just as stupid and/or dumb as my nay Sayers.
Besides, if you didn�t catch the humor the first time around, then I should
have known better than to try my luck a second time. I�m quick to laugh at
myself, and sometimes forget that not everyone can. A total lapse of judgment
on my part. Again, my most sincere apologies. And by the way, thanks Collin
for not taking my comments to heart so much.
Okay. But enough with the sappy open letter. Let�s kiss (wink) and make up.
There are way more important things for all of us to be concerned with� like
how high each of you should bid on my current eBay auctions� or remembering
how to work those dang blasted kill-files so that you can promptly add me to
them.
Yours truly,
Idiot Child
PS. No need for responses. This fire has enough fuel. Instead, it would be
quite marvelous if we could just move on.
