Very silly Shark got home just now and realised how dopey he was this morning.
Millers and myself ended up in a pretty dumb slanging match today, which I took way too far.
He was just fishing. And he gave me plenty of line. And plenty of bait.
And I swam past the bait while I was in the wrong frame of mind.
I had plenty of chances to spit the rather unpleasant bait out, but for some unknown reason I hooked on real good and wouldn't let go.
And then I typed an entry that was inexcusable, and for this I owe Millers an unreserved apology. Which I hope he accepts.
Yes he wound me up before I lost my head. And yes he has been giving it to me all day since, it would appear. And some others have joined in too, which in a public domain is their right. That's all OK by me, I deserve it, but I hope this apology brings a swift end to that.
I'm a pretty easygoing bloke, and plenty of regular posters in here know that. Usually a pretty straight-up and clear thinking kind of bloke too.
But some things upset me. Stuff like jokes or throwaway lines about people killing themselves. Millers hit some of those buttons today. He didn't mean to, at first. And as I said before, he didn't miss later on!
So since lunchtime, I've been labelled as everything from a priest to a kiddie fiddler, and plenty in between. Well, like I said, a bit of a caning from a couple of you is probably deserved, but let's not turn one series of blow-ups about self harm into an even more dangerous area, hey folks?
You're one of the few regular guys from the forum that I haven't met yet, Millers. But I hope you accept this very genuine apology and let me buy you a beer or two sometime soon. Might even buy Reefy one too, if he's keen.
Best regards guys,
Matt.
