Can I just say, and I'm just being honest...

I'm a nobody here. Just a member. Do as you wish.

You're someone I wronged and I harbor regrets about that.

I wish to remain on the forum. But if you change your mind, you can tell me anytime. I would willingly listen to you and leave for the amount specified, this is not a trick or a lie. I'm not a horrible person. If I'm making you feel uncomfortable, simply tell me, and I'll try to do everything in my power to stop doing it - within reason. That's all.

lol "within your power"? "Within reason"?

Govern yourself, and quit begging forgiveness.

An alcoholic myself, one who spat bullshit trying to hide his demon, I recognize your words, I recognize your little apologies and promises to do better, soon to be broken. You have not taken your apologies forward in your behavior; instead, you lay your apologies as defense-lines, something you can point at and say, "but look, I tried!"

This post of yours is no different. You roll on your back, showing your belly in order to signify submission, but even in the same post you cannot help yourself -- you hedge your apology with "in my power" or "within reason" -- which to any thinking person says, you might well do the same thing again.

For years I, for different reasons, spat the same lines out. They bought me time, just as you're trying to buy time here. They allowed me to think of myself as being reasonable, just as you're posting this in order to buttress your own justifications. These same sorts of lines were also my hooks, to keep people in my life who should have told me to fuck off long ago.

I'll let you draw your own conclusion about that last thought.
