Explanation, and apologies

[tommykaine]

I'm posting this because of what I wrote yesterday

Comments

MOD COMMENT

[auntysarah]

And I want to thank the mods for deleting that post

Just worth a general clarification here. Deleting posts is allowed, we just don't encourage it as it removes part of the record of what's been said, and in some circumstances could be disrespectful to those whose comments are lost as a result. You can delete your post at any time, and you don't need moderator permission. What is not allowed is deleting other people's comments (other than when they get removed as part of a post deletion, obviously).

Well I'm certainly curious who deleted the post as I assumed it was you since the post was gone right after you said you would delete it.

I hope the mods will clarify this because it doesn't seem like the mods here would delete something that 1. wasn't against the community rules and received no mod warnings and 2. had so many thoughtful comments.

Also, I don't know what you're expecting out of this posting? I know I'm not going to waste any more time and effort trying to help you when chances are you'll just up and delete the post before people have finished commenting on it.

FYI you can set your postings to not email you the comments if you don't want to see any of them anymore.

I asked the mods to delete it because I was really upset and ashamed because of it.

Also, I don't know what you're expecting out of this posting?
I posted this to apologize, I don't expect anything. I just feel sorry for what I've done.
I'm sorry if I made you waste your time, feel free to ignore my posts from now on if that's what you want to do. I won't be upset because of it.

[hrolleif]

I'm just going to be blunt with you here. It's hard to take you seriously when you've pretty much just repeated the same stupid bullshit as your original posting.

[tommykaine]

I'm making an effort. You could at least appreciate that.
Would you kindly explain me how I repeated "the same stupid bullshit"? I thought I had explained it more calmly this time. It seems I was wrong. Please, point out more precisely the points where I fucked up again. I will try harder.

What else can I do to make up for it?

[misguidance]

I rather feel much the same as Hrolleif. I'm a little dissapointed that the thread was deleted, as I think people actually said some interesting and insightful things (including a rather interesting tangent). It feels like effort was made for no reason.

Having said that, I do appriciate the apology, and also that you were embarrased and upset by what happened. I hope you will take some time to calm down before posting next time- PMS or no- because I feel very strongly that ranting in communities is ill advised when you are upset. Never ends well. ^__- (Hell, it's risky enough posting rants in private LJs! XD)

Look after yourself, k.

[tommykaine]

I'm sorry, I asked for deletion so that I wouldn't have to see that whole thing and feel like crap again and again everytime I look at this community, at least until new messages covered it up. I realize it was egoistical. I was still upset when I asked for that, and maybe it wasn't a great idea.

I don't think I'll be ranting again anytime soon, in any community. Thanks for understanding. I hope I won't do anything like that again, because I'm definitely not proud of my behaviour.

[eriktrips]

Well I totally missed the whole thing, so I have no idea what went on. People make mistakes and say stupid things, and you certainly aren't the first person on the internet to go off on an ill-advised rant
