Well I sure wasn't expecting this when I got up this morning... Yeah, it's been a while. This thing's telling me I haven't logged in since October. Wow it's only been 4 months? Time goes slowly, or it's just that a lot can happen in a short time. I know this is kind of personal, but making this into a thread, other people could do something like I want to. I don't think people remember me much, but that's probably for the better. I said a lot of things why I wouldn't want people to remember me here... I have to say I'm sorry for having offended anyone during my activity on this site. I didn't mean to. I used to believe in my strict "moral code" and this led to me often belittling others for how they saw life... I used to bash people because they preferred one-night-stands over a relationship... I used to attempt to tell people to abandon their faith... I called out how not everything should be considered a disorder. I even judged people just because they liked pop music and I didn't. I did all these things even though none of it really effected me. I'm done with this... I realize that it doesn't even matter in the grand scheme of things, nothing does... but still, I don't want to be this person anymore, who does these things... as long as someone understands that my own taste is different, who cares? Who am I to tell anyone what they should do? Hopefully my apology (which goes out to everyone here) will be accepted, and yeah, sorry about making a thread out of this, but I need to know if it's ok. Maybe if you used to do things you've come to regret, and you feel like you want to share it, go ahead
Who cares, you can have whatever opinions you want. Those opinions are also allowed to change. Anyone who gets offended by a stranger on the internet has a problem.
It's good that you took your time to apologize, OP. If you hurt someone's feelings, apologizing is often a good idea. We all have opinions that someone will feel uncomfortable with, and sometimes it's hard to hold on to those opinions or express them in a manner that won't be offensive. I think we're all guilty of this - I know I am. I'm a real hothead sometimes. I try to like... make sure I'm not in situations where I will get angry, and when I do get angry I try to shut up as much as I can, but sometimes I just kind of snap. But I'm working on it... ^^
That takes a lot of courage to write a post like this, and it does feel good to let all those things go. I can't recall the posts in question, but thanks for posting, it was very sweet of you
Well I actually prefer people who are a bit 'judgmental'. They are frank, they don't play political correctness, they're clear about what they like and dislike and they won't be shamed for that. It's refreshing. Also, when I looked at this thread, my first thought was 'Who?' :lol:
Well thanks everyone, I suppose I'm back then There have been instances of me expressing strong opinions on things like pride parades as well, condemning them as a whole... the thing that changed is not that I've gone full PC, I just realize that not all of it is bad, and it works, just not really where I live. The point is that I want to avoid the generalizations in my views, because no two people, places, etc. are the same.
If you think someone has a rubbish taste in music you have every right to let them know what you think! Seriously, don't let the PC mob police your thoughts and expressions.
