In reply to the discussion: Fare Thee Well, DU. [View all]Kali
(55,008 posts)We haven't interacted much but I am feeling hugely guilty. I owe you an apology. You seem to be one of those DUers who is always a positive force here. There aren't many of you but you really help balance the negativity and we need you.
My apology is most sincere. I may have talked that asshole into staying here a few months ago. They were posting some very hostile replies in a GD thread and getting locked posts sent to MIRT. I contacted them with a message suggesting to calm down and maybe take a break. We PMed back and forth a bit and they seemed to have learned to behave, or took a break. I do this for long time members that seem to be heading for trouble because I don't like to see them get banned for an occasional bad day. It wasn't any official notice, just me trying to keep the community together. Oh man, was I wrong on that one.
Going after someone such as yourself and the Lounge INSTITUTION of your Sunday LOL Cats is unforgivable. That has got to be one of the rudest and most disgusting displays of selfish, egotistical behavior I have ever seen here. That is like the stereotypical ugly american tourist barging into a local weekly ceremony, demanding everybody speak English and pissing on the floor. OMG.
If there was anybody who deserves a 500 reply pile-on in meta for obnoxious behavior it is that poster.
I am so sorry they have made you feel you need to leave. I hope you will change your mind. You should not be the one leaving. AT ALL. And I am so VERY, VERY sorry for my part in encouraging that asshole to stay here. Please reconsider.
