Hi people.
I'm known for my apathy about many things, but I exploded before a couple of days on many members, the reason was comments which offended me racially.
My mistake is that I couldn't hold myself from writing the most hideous comments I have ever wrote online ; including insults, cursing & super personal attacks.
That topic -which I exploded in- wasn't meant to support or defend my religion, it was personal. Point one in debates : never make it personal, because just then, it blows up.
I'm sorry. And this comes truly from my heart. I'm not waiting for apology from anyone, you don't have to comment if you're mad at me.
A Small advice : nothing is more painful than racism..Please avoid it at all costs.

Eh, can't speak for anyone else, but I'm terrible at holding grudges, probably due to poor memory. You're as good as your last post with me, chum.

Ha ha, I'm terrible at holding grudges too. I can only do it if people are continuously inflamatory. I don't think I've ever had a real "grudge" on AF because the worst of trolls/bigots got banned before it could turn into a real grudge.
One guy was on here for over a month before he got banned but I didn't really have a grudge against him either (granted, I was gone from the forum for three weeks of that month, but the guy's first non-intro thread got over forty pages on the first day).
Being someone who is not easily offended nor very vitrolic, I don't really feel the urge to counter-rant, either. It isn't worth the effort to hold a grudge against someone from the internet anyway...
P.S. I don't think Islam is a race...unless you are referring to Arabs in general.

Trust me, we've had far worse comments around here before now and I prophesy we'll have worse to come. That said, I know from experience how different it seems when you've found yourself making such comments. All I can say is, we'd have to be mad ourselves to be mad with you (if that makes sense).

As Stimbo said we had far worse, but let me congratulate you for your attitude, if truly it comes from your heart then you deserve to be apologized.

Welcome to the forum, newbie
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

I for one am not going to let the rather dramatic recent events influence my opinion of you in any way. I still think you are stupid and ignorant.

I don't know what you think you said but it doesn't matter to me.
BTW, Apo...that was funny.

True, it's worthless. In real life things go differently, and I'm sure that if this debate was face to face, non of us would've made such mistakes.
One of the reasons why I'm using my real pic as an avatar, sometimes we forget that real "humans" are using those accounts ; not robots .
