As you all can see in a thread on this forum, I offended S. Kroeze referring to his long (high-quality) posts. I made a joke of this, and he answered to me via a mail. He told me that long posts are better than short posts "containing utter nonsense". Here I agree with you, Sander.
But I couldn't know that you would go in a huff that quickly.

OK, I'm sorry for my ignorance. Will you now be so nice to retreat your threat not to post in my threads anymore? I tell you I will make this offer only one time. I'm OTF-poster and therefor much stronger than you! MWUHAHAHAHAHA! !! I'm only kidding of course! I just think that it would be ridiculous to argue about this. Don't you agree, S. Kroeze?

Frankly, I don't think that your gay-bashing posts, your refering to blacks as ni*****, and your reply to another poster with a rude post in German that ended in 'Sieg Heil!'
gained you a lot of OT-friends. Some may like your style, others don't.

Andz your cynical attitude is appauling and no going to make S. Kroeze mute about his angers. S. Kroeze puts a lot of thought and effort into his ideas and the fact that you just apologize then start making jokes and BSin' again is not going to fix the situtation, it might piss him off more even.

More food for thought

I'll gladly accept Andz's apoligies. Personally I'm convinced he is sincere, because his way of making apologies publicly on the forum shows courage and the genuine intention to make amends. And I suspect he is rather young and was raised in the DDR, whose political system didn't contribute much to the happiness of mankind.

Everyone else I want to thank for their very kind words. I am moved. Thank you all!

By the way, Yin26, do you know anything about the current status of the TechTree?

Sincere regards,

1. There weren't any gay-bashing posts made by me, you sucker!

2. I also didn't refer to blacks as "niggers". I just quoted this way because they use this word so often in the film I quoted from.

3. My rude post in German was:

1. not rude, it was a fun post

2. Sieg Heil was only a joke because it was a fun post. I didn't want to greet the Führer, I just made fun of him.

Also I wasn't cynical as I apologized. How comes that only one person accepts the apologize, the one whom the aplogize was directed on? I wouldn't have posted my apologize if I weren't really sorry. Also my anti-S. Kroeze post wasn't THAT terrible. It just was offending.

Now I'm offended! Noone took my apology except for the one I wanted to apologize to. That's not fair!

Your apologoy was accepted, but please keep O.T. debates in the O.T. forum. Thanks.

Hasdrubal: what do you have to say to my defence-post? I guess you're out of arguments...

I didn't reply because firstly, Yin asked us to go OT on this one. And secondly, because I thought that S.Kroeze set us the most sensible example. Following him, I suggest that we end this thing. Let's keep this a happy forum.

I was in that thread and I saw what you wrote to S. Kroeze. I thought it was harsh because he always has well thought out ideas and because it seemed odd that you would simply go after someone for writing a lot about a subject.

quote: Besides, that would be his one topic per day. Wouldn't that be silly?

It was a simple slap on the new one post per person per day rule. I was saying that you wanted to post your apology here as not to waste your one post.

Hope that clears everything up, and I hope Yin closes this thread...

He was telling you to post this in the OT. So I responded...

quote: Besides, that would be his one topic per day. Wouldn't that be silly?

as an underlying protest to the new rule (even though you posted this before the rule went into affect, it was just a joke)

It meant that you wouldn't want to waste your one post on something that could be put here. That's all. This whole debate belongs in the OT so if you have anything else to say Andz, post a new topic there...
