I apologize to all DUers.
Edited on Thu Jan-20-05 09:13 PM by HypnoToad
Whenever I come across brash, it's generally not aimed at one person or even deliberate. It's just who I am.

I apologize to the enemies I made.

I apologize to all.


I also apologize for my glib generalizations. I DO KNOW that generalizing is wrong. Won't stop me because, for the most part, it takes up too much point nitpicking every detail and exception to the rule. :-(

6. What the hell are you talking about?
You will have to get in line if "brash" is your only vice!

Your posts have never bothered me. I can't believe you have any enemies here.

9. I have pissed off a lot of Mac users, though my excuse is an original one.
And not really directed at any given DUer. Once again, it's a generalization thing - and that is unfair on my part.

18. But, but, but...
pissing off Mac users is so easy to do! Just tell them the truth. :evilgrin:

Disclaimer: The Mac is a combination of excellent hardware running a fine OS. It is refined, polished and at least less objectionable than a hairy uncle who farts in your living room.

28. In all honesty, and having used it, OS X is rather good... and the h/w is
impeccable. I only like to whine about price for what it comes with and bogus invulnerability... :D

21. Yeah, lately I've been wondering
if an iMac pissed in your Wheaties or something, but hell, everyone has a peeve, and I enjoy your posts on other topics. Besides, I mostly just find operating system flamewars amusing.

:hi:

7. Anybody who
likes Doctor Who as much as you do can't be all bad. Whatever you did, all is forgiven. :)

10. I adore you! You were the friendliest DUer to me...
when I first found DU, on the night of the invasion of Iraq. You always have been and always will be one of my favorite DUers.

:hug:

What was your name back then??? I forgot, but I remember one time, shortly after you changed your name, whining that you weren't here anymore, and you came on the thread and had a big laugh at me. :-)

12. Thank you!
:hug:

I used to be Thermodynamic. I changed my name to HypnoToad because "Futurama" was to be cancelled...

I hope you didn't take too much offense over my little gag at the time. One of the few traits I have between my online persona and my 'real world' one is my knack for having an awful sense of humor and I was deliberate in hiding my change of name... :crazy: Or, rather, should I use my other favorite smilie: :spank: ... :-)

16. That's right!
You are a funny guy. I have always adored your quirky sense of humor...it so closely resembles mine.

I find things funny that no one else would. I've noticed in the past that you do this too.

Birds of a feather.... :-)

15. Nice of you
but I have never seen you be nasty. Brash is OK and we all generalize from time to time. I am glad you are here.

19. You certainly haven't ticked me off
And I'm pretty irritable (just ask Mrs. Squeech).

Of course, I know you as that guy that quotes archaic acid rock songs, rather than that guy that insults my on-line habits.

30. Perhaps it's the PC's that are driving you crazy?
:evilgrin:


Seriously, all that defective software can grate on a man and make him temperamental.

Heh, you never offended me and your posts usually make me laugh. I really don't care what operating systems people use. If you want to suffer through microsoft, be my guest. :evilgrin:

Nice to know I'm sufficiently tolerated around here, if not liked! :-)

I'm off to bed... will be happily awake in the morning. :D
