Genuine apology for my actions yesterday

[kirottu]

As you all have surely noticed, my posts usually are carefully thought out, evidence based, adhere to quantum fluctuations, and go through lengthy quality assurance period. But yesterday I had a lapse in my quality. For that I am truly and deeply sorry. 
 
I do feel the need to mention I would have made this thread even without the written warning I got from the moderation team. Yesterday I already got the strongest warning ever, the warning from my heart.
 
What had happened was I was searching for Feargus’ top ten answers thread, which he never finished, and I would have posted something along the lines of ”Dude, I’m not saying never finishing your top ten answers on your very own forums is bad, but...” Ah, this glorious wit of mine is truly a gift for all humankind. But I couldn’t! Fionavar in his slithering evilness had closed the thread in a violent fit of censorship. I got so very depressed I merely did ”gaming with other people” when I already had done "gaming". 
 
It was cheap. It was lazy. It was spam. And it didn’t reach the high standards I have set for my posts. I am genuinely sorry.
 
In conclusion: Dudes and dudettes, I’m not saying spamming isn't bad for you, but have you heard Hocus Pocus by Focus?

I actually have not. Somehow, I have resisted clicking on it about the 13 times or so you've posted it so far. Gotta stay strong...

[Hurlshort]

I am super confused by this whole thing.

Sadly I was not strong enough....it is everything you think it is and more.

It's a good song; I appreciated hearing it again when I first saw it in the music thread. Then again... and again? And AGAIN???

 

The odd part was that there was no apparent rhyme or reason for the spam, it just was.

 

Legend goes there are forum members who are still acting out in protest years after a slight. I think I could only handle 3 years of Hocus Pocus, at least it ended before I had to worry about my own sanity.

[Fiach]

Never heard of Focus but that was freaking awesome!

[smjjames]

I wondered what was up with that ancient necro, which according to one person was apparently posted near the very beginning of this forum.

[Tigranes]

If you are not waking up to hocus pocus every day already then you are DEAD TO ME

[Heijoushin]

Sure dude, no worries. We all have off days.

 

Though, uh, finishing your apology thread with the same spam is kind of like apologizing for burglary and then pick-pocketing the officer's notebook on the way out.

It's a damn good band. There used to be a time back in the 70s when Jan Akkerman was commonly thought on par with Hendrix, so I've read. It worth tracking down Focus 3 and Hamburger Concerto from them, as well as Focus 2 which obviously has that gem on it (though, personally, I don't think the rest of the album is nearly as good - still fine though).

This was my approach until this very thread.  But once I clicked on it, I realized that I knew this song, that I thought it was really cool when I was a much younger dude, but I never actually learned the name/artist until today.  So all this kirottu spamming nonsense actually turned into a worthwhile learning experience for me.  *themoreyouknow.gif*

No matter how you slice it, spam sucks.

[Leferd]

No matter how you slice it, spam sucks.

 

This is a horrendously bad take. 

 

[Lexx]

Ok, I gave in and finally clicked the video. My first reaction was, what kind of drugs are causing this? Then I remembered it's the 70s, so I guess the answer is every drug.

[Keyrock]

In fairness, it's probably the best yodeling rock jam song ever. 

[Katphood]

It was cheap. It was lazy. It was spam. And it didn’t reach the high standards I have set for my posts. 

 

Sounds like my average post.

[Epaminondas]

kirottu, you crazy, man!

Come on man, everyone who is cool is doing it. Do it. Doo it.

 

Just do it, man. Don't you want to be cool?

Apology accepted but probably unnecessary. I can't tell you how many people here state their opinions without anything backing them up, and placing those assumptions as fact. That has somehow become the toxicity of the political forums too.

 

Earlier this year I was told by a couple members (from here) that forums are supposed to be drama, forums are basically made for arguing and it doesn't matter how ill one looks, they should argue even if they don't have evidence to back up their statements.

 

It's most important to remind yourself that you don't actually know these people, even if you have been on these forums for years. I mean, you get to know pieces of them but since we don't know anyone here in real life, it's different from conversating with people IRL.

 

So don't beat yourself up too bad, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I was wondering what the hell you were doing with those vids as I had no idea why you were doing it.  Now I... still don't know why you were doing it, I don't understand what this thread is about, and I am scared and confused about everything.  So in summary, no change from normal.

My father listened to that album when I was young, remember really disliking it, so I'm pretty certain that I will still dislike it. So I'll pass, thank you though
