Typical NYC Lib

I apologize for my Stupidity

Not only did I get the date of Martin Luther King's death wrong, I posted a picture that some insensitive (or maybe even racist) twit had photoshopped a muppet into. I didn't even notice it!

Not a very auspicious start on DU. If I get banned for being such a moron, believe me I'll understand why!

we had one mod (I will not name names) who nuked themselves (instead of the offender) several times. It was quite funny at the time.

I accidentally posted something I intended for the Mod forum in GD. Yeah... life is stressful.

(((In my defense, the poster was eventually banned.)))

Otherwise known as being a troll. You made a slight error and corrected it. Really, it lets us remember MLK for two days, so it is a good mistake. I didn't see the Muppet at first either.

Everyone makes mistakes, I once almost considered voting for a Repuglican. Just couldn't bring myself to though, even if he was a close personnel friend.

We all fall into these rabbit holes once in a while. It's so easy to put together a nice post on DU and make silly mistakes. We all do it.

The important thing is that only a buffoon would take your heartfelt post as anything but what was.
