My apology

[SoMissTV]

It has been brought to my attention that there are members who feel that I have been treating others on this forum with disrespect. Although these members have not communicated with me directly, I have nonetheless received the impression that others view me negatively. I try to bring a different perspective to this board, and this sometimes means attacking people's positions. This is different than attacking people directly, though I can understand how it can be confusing.

However, I will apologize to those offended through this misunderstanding. It is my intent to be a positive influence on this forum, and I am saddened to know that this may not be the case. Realizing this, I shall make every effort to weigh the ramifications of my posts before I post them, and ask others to bear with me as I become a cleaner, friendlier SoMissTV.

Your tolerance is both appreciated and respected.

Maybe it's just Hobbes. Hobbes has a lot of attitude.

[aaron]

To be honest, it was just SoMissTV to me. But then again, I haven't felt your wrath in a while, so that's easy for me to say. Thanks for posting. :)

[virgo]

I hadn't been on here much the past few days because I have been busy at work, so I haven't really noticed anything recently. I appreciate the apology, though.

somiss

your post took alot of courage and I think it was sincere.
thank you for your post.

[Tully Mars]

No problems here my friend. SoMiss is SoMiss and I think that the problems generally come from new folks who don't really understand the dynamics here and haven't really figured out people's personalities. Yea, SoMiss is a smart a$$ of the highest order but then again if you know and understand that then its generally not a problem. I for one generally tend to appreciate his comments and dry wit.

Oh, and SoMiss, please let me know if there was anything misspelled in my post, or if I used improper grammer, or got a fact wrong, or forgot some obscure punctuation mark...:smt118

Shut your mouth, Doc, before you get a swift chop to the sternum.....my bad, wrong thread! Cheer up, tigger.

satan and i agree- that wouldn't be any fun

[big john]

I love love love SOMISSTV,everytime I read one of his posts i just want to give him a big squeeze :bhug: :rose: :yourock:

[Maggie-Doodle]

SoMiss: I think from time to time we all say (write) stuff and don't realize others may take offense simply because they do not "know" it is in jest! The written word is harsh alot of the time because there is no facial expression or voice inflection to indicate kidding etc.. Lets face it...alot of people "look" for something to take offense about!
It takes a big person to appologize to someone...an even bigger one to do so on a public forum...thank you for doing so here. You are a class act!

Oh btw, your post have not offended me!

[Baloo]

SoMissTV, it is the diversity on this board that makes it such a great one. I applaud your courage in appologizing, it is not easy to do in pubilc. You have never offended me and I hope that you don't change too much...

[Conveyor Belt]

I wish I knew WTF you were apologizing for... who got their panties in a wad over what you say? It's not like you're me...

* You know sometimes people just have different opinions. That is the beautiful thing about a blog, you get to read everyone's opinions and in turn that can sway you to see things in a different light. No crime there, it's like a council meeting, open to everyone and their perception which you sometimes need to see.

[dollfus46]

I don't think you've ever offended me but once. Maybe twice. Okay! Three times, but who's counting. What are you still doing alive? I paid Vinny good money.........what'd I do with that %@# phone number?
Hey, everybody has been offended here by someone at one time or another if they post regularly. Can't always be helped. Heck, you can't groan at someone without hurting feelings. I certainly thank you for your apology, tho it wasn't necessary as far as I'm concerned, but then, I have you blocked! Heh heh heh.

SoMissTv - scre#'em if they can't take a joke.

You know my grandmother?!!! She's always saying that.

[cubby 1]

I personally saw no need for you to apologize. Never apologize for your own opinion. You're good in my book.

[TheKing]

I'm worse than SoMiss is...don't be expecting any apologies from me

[SoMissTV]

So I've been an ass lately, but it's never too late to change. I'll try this again. Read the first post one more time, and hopefully, I'll do what I said I was going to do a year ago. I'll become a positive contributing member here, if you'll have me.

It'd be good to have you back, SMTV.
Lately, you've been making it hard for anyone to defend you.

So, welcome back, good luck, have fun.

Posting as a regular member here right now - not as a mod.

If this could be believed, I'm all for it. But at this juncture I guess actions will speak louder than the written word. There have been many times in the year plus I've been on here that I've enjoyed, laughed at, and even agreed with some of what you have said. But lately I feel the only reason you are on is to attack people on this board. So either decide to be a Member or not. But first you have to be honest with yourself.

[SoMissTV]

I should clarify: I'm still going to be a smart-ass, just not a general ass. Don't anyone get their expectations too high. :)

I can deal with a smart-ass, I'm kinda one myself. But a General Ass we can do without, thanks. :smt023

[wilebill]

So how many apologies does it take until they become meaningless?

[daisy]

Well, I was going to groan you but changed my mind. I enjoy your posts and miss them.

Come on back and be yourself. I look forward to your witticisms and keeping us straight.:bowrofl:

Come on back and not everyone likes or appreciates me either. And vice versa. Big Deal.;)

[SoMissTV]

I don't know. Is this really how you want to respond to an honest attempt to be nice around here?

[SoMissTV]

Everybody appreciates you; you're a sane voice in an insane world.

[Conveyor Belt]

It really depends on how far apart the apologies are...

But, as someone stated, actions speak louder than words...

[wilebill]

I don't know. Is this really how you want to respond to an honest attempt to be nice around here?This is the second or third time that you've made an apology here. How do I know you're being honest this time? I thought that you were the first 2 or 3 times that you apologized, but it's apparent that you weren't, or we wouldn't be here again.

It's that whole boy crying wolf thing, you know.

[CircusRide]

Crap, where's my groan button?

[SoMissTV]

This would be the second. I even dug up the old thread in order to place it in the right place. I wasn't aware wolf crying occurred on the second apology.

I won't be dragged into this with you. You either accept it or you don't.

[58ford]

I've never really had a problem with SoMissTV

[virgo]

Welcome back, SMTV. I hope that things will go back to the way they were. I am sure not everyone will be as willing to forgive and forget, so the only thing I ask for you to do is be understanding with those people, OK? Please don't add more salt to a wound. Eventually, you will show (and prove) to people if you are serious by going about your regular business. And I am sure people will notice. :smt023

[Butterball]

SMTV.. I don't have a stake in all the 'stuff' that goes down on MH. In fact, most of the time I don't care. I come to the site to read, laugh, play, and occasionally, get on my soapbox to vent my private rages.......

I have watched a lot of high drama over the past year. Seen a bunch of personal shots taken. Seen folk react... bitterly and vindictively.

I've watched the divisions of people I enjoyed reading.. some just getting mad.....some melting down.. and a few completely setting nukes off.

I want to just let you know....... I've sat and watched the mod, that apparently from your reactions that you don't care for on a personal level, go through all kinds of angst trying to be as fair and impartial with others on the site.......and never on a personal level no matter what she would say out loud to me. She has always tried to have the best interest of the community at heart when something was done..... and it has never been on the 'first' instance of impropriety. All the mods take their positions of responsibility to keep the site civil very seriously, a sometimes daunting task given the wide divergence of personalities involved here.

As for her banning her own kin. Impartial, ( and very tough on a personal level ) but clearly the action to take given the venomous nature of the post (an action which should have shown her desire to have 'all' follow the rules of the site and being civil with others).

I don't have a problem with others disagreeing, groaning, or voicing their opinions LOUDLY - -
I do have a problem with others being disagreeable, groaning, or getting personal just to create problems ( usually, though, the person doing such just doesn't see their actions in this light and get all bent out of shape when given warnings, infractions, or worse).

I miss seeing a lot of the humor you brought to the boards before you decided to see how much time you could devote to being a disagreeable force of division on MH (some, including yourself have characterized this as being an a$$).........for whatever reasons. Having met you, I know you are intelligent but highly opinionated, in the know technologically but not in charge of this site, desirous of more control in 'how things are done' here but also desirous of less 'administrative oversite'. I'm not sure if you will ever be happy just being a member but you certainly COULD be a good one if you could get past some of the personal issues you have with others here.

I hope you can find a way to live up to the apologies you have posted....... and learn to live and post in peace.... just enjoying the things that can be enjoyed on this forum........ Thanks for listening....

[daisy]

Too long and it hurt my eyes to read. Just picking.

I didn't have a clue as to what you were talking about and the mod.

Welcome back So Miss Tv and ignore or put on ignore those that bother you. Others could do the same.

Everyone on here has been guilty of something at one time or other.:smt023

[wilebill]

This would be the second. I even dug up the old thread in order to place it in the right place. I wasn't aware wolf crying occurred on the second apology.

I won't be dragged into this with you. You either accept it or you don't.This is at least the third.

SoMiss has already generated 40 post just by saying he's an a$$. I gotta start me an apology thread. What's something really offensive I can do?

Post a picture of you mooning the bartender at 206 lol...

[Conveyor Belt]

Let's just move on...

i'm about two seconds away from :zelfmoord

[58ford]

Post a picture of you mooning the bartender at 206 lol...
Depending on the bartender he might not be offended.

[Fish-Bait]

Depending on the bartender he might not be offended.
It would however generate alot of post, which is your ultimate goal correct?

[reverand]

It's about time!
I mean... the time is now for forgiveness my brother.


He who is guilty of sin,
let him cast the first stone.


Have Mercy

[58ford]

I'm sorry, I seem to have gotten a little OT & taken the emphasis of this thread away from SoMiss's being an a$$.

[dollfus46]

I won't be dragged into this with you. You either accept it or you don't.
I will certainly meet you more than half-way SoMissTV. I'll take you at your word until you prove me wrong. Hell, I musta tried to quit smoking 20 times before I was successful but each attempt was sincere.:smt023

[Dixie Tree Slayer]

SoMiss has already generated 40 post just by saying he's an a$$. I gotta start me an apology thread. What's something really offensive I can do?Putting up a man avatar would be the ultimate offensive thing you can do in my eyes...

[XC9]

I also feel you owe me zippo in the apology department. We are all human (I hope :ohnoes:) and have different opinions. I do understand that not all people agree with ME all the time as I do not agree with OTHERS all the time. I understand that y'all don't realize that I am always right wether you want to admit it or not :bowrofl:. SoMissTV I applaud you for your apology and if I have ever offended you I offer the same apology to you. See how right I am?

[Baloo]

SoMissTV, I appreciate your posts, your perspective and your sense of humor. I enjoy having you on the board and am glad that you are here. I don't know what happened in the past, but I do hope it will stay in the past and that everyone can just get along and fun here. Thanks for being humble enough to admit your faults and sincere in your direction of taking the high road...
