An open apology
Clearly what began as a treatise on the utilization and misuse of labels as self-identifiers got blown out of proportion and made into something vitriolic and altogether offensive.
I am sorry to those whom it may have hurt. I am especially sorry to John whom I know expects much better of me.

Nate posted a followup that was over the top and extremely offensive--as is the way of our people.
Most people thought it was me that posted it. These said people have also been hurt by me in the recent past for a variety of other reasons.
So in other words I got pwned. I had to take it down because I guess people couldn't tell the difference between my stuff and nate's even though his name was clearly at the bottom of his and mine at the bottom of mine. Ontop of that, his was such hyperbole, how could it have been anything BUT a joke.
A joke no one got. As usual.
Again I state, I do not expect or want you to alienate or hurt other friends simply for my enterainment (well maybe I do alittle, but not seriously). But dang it, they should learn to take a joke so they they don't cause you to deniy your friends who enjoy your offensive rants intended as humor. This is of course all said applies to just the posts here, I have no idea what the "recent past" events were nor can I judge if they warrented this complete retraction.
I'm sorry I missed the offensive posts altogether. Maybe I should check this place more than when I'm just bored. *grin*
I stand up for my right to enjoy offensive matierial that others can not read if they so choose. You made it clear in the title of the post that it would be offensive, and just like turning off a tv or changing a radio channel, people can choose to not read.
And Erik is right about his take of St. Mary's, of course the "real world" also can be unfortunately close to that was well the longer you are in it, the real difference is in the real world there is the chance to o to one of the few places that isn't that way.
just keep me in your top 8, 'kay?
