apology to the group

[Joe Attardi]

Hi all,

In the recent flame war with Twisted/Nebulous, I showed an ugly side of
me that I am ashamed to have let out. I hope the regulars in the group
will forgive my losing my temper and feeding the troll instead of just
ignoring him from the beginning, which I intend to do from here on.

I don't know about the group, but I forgive you.

Besides, I think most folks know
a) flamewars are fun;
b) they exert a kind of psychic undertow to participate that is nigh irresistible;
c) trolls make provocative remarks - it's natural to be provoked;
d) this is compounded when one makes an effort to help the troll and is
returned elementary-school variations on one's name and other, more vulgar
insult words.

Still, it is natural to feel bad if one lost one's compassion. At least you
can admit fault and apologize for it, and you don't call us "fucktards" for
disagreeing with you.

Now that you've admitted responsibility and apologized, you win the flamewar.

Love means never having to say you're sorry.
