    I Apologise

    Firstly, I would like to apologise to Saracen999 for the abuse I sent in his direction which was unwarranted.

    Secondly, I would like to thank Saracen999 for being a bigger man than me and asking the Admins to reduce my ban!

    Thirdly, I would like to thank Peterb for being a gentleman in his communications with me.

    Finally, I have a LOT of mental health issues caused by my service. These cause me to become an idiot at short notice. I cannot guarantee that this will not happen again and that I would not be abusive to another good Hexus member. Consequently, I will be deleting my account. Thank you hexus for the great times, my apologies for being a dick!

    I'm out.

    Thank you for your service.

    I know that's the most American phrase ever, but I genuinely mean it. We appreciate what you've done for all of us. I hope you stick around, but even if not, I wish you the very best for the future.

    Many people have said daft stuff on an Internet forum.

    Vanishingly few of them have the awareness and humility to later apologise. It's be a shame to lose one of the few that does.

    If everyone who has said something stupid on a forum deleted their account, forums would be a very lonely place.

    I mean, I'd be all on my own!

    Re: I Apologise

    Dont do it, please.

    I have fibromyalgia, and I also suffer the "foot in mouth" syndrome, most folk in here now know about it and I am given *some* leeway for verbal gaffs, but this place is like a 2nd home to me now and I know you possibly have that same feeling for the place, so, dont go
    Cheers, David

    There really is no need to delete your account. In all honesty, when I saw the posts I thought they were out of character and my initial thought was your account had been hacked.

    I think now we have a tiny bit more reasoning as to why things went the way they did, people will be far more understanding in the future.

    Please, stay

    Apology accepted. Without reservation.

    Second, for my part .... DON'T LEAVE.

    Third, I know we don't agree on some things but I've known you a long time, and that was out of character.

    Fourth, while I hesitate to jump to conclusions about someone the far end of a screen who's life I know nothing about, I wondered if there was more to that outburst than net the eye. Se all have oyr issues, blueball, and it takes guts to say it not just to the mod team, but publicly.

    Fifth, you didn't really need to explain yourself, but thankyou for that.

    Sixth, and finally, you have to do what's best for you and if that means leaving, then I guess it does. BUT ..... I would urge you to consider this - you've been here a VERY long time, and I think it's a good safety valve for stress.

    However, and I guess thuis is seventh and really finally, Brexit threads perhaps aren't. So maybe avoid them. My blood pressure gas certainly dropped since I stopped watching oyr idiot leaders on TV evety night. Now, I avoid any B-word related TV or radio coverage entirely. What wil, happen will happen, and whether I like it or not won't matter a jot, so why worry.

    I'm kinda looking forward to staying in so I have something to whinge about for the next 50 years or so.

    Imagine - we could be in adjoining zimmer frames in 40 years, still arguing about it. Doesn't that prospect make you want to stay?

    Re: I Apologise

    No one will better understand that than the opening poster what they want to do. Having a temptation removed might be what is wanted ....and asking them to stay might be like asking an alcholic not to leave the pub and just drink lemonade whle everyone else is on the lash.

    That is entirely true, and nobody is more aware than me that you and the other mods may have info I'm not privy to.

    Blueball has to do what's right for him.

    From my perspective, it'd be a shame if that meant leaving, especially if the incident this apology concerns is the trigger because it was, ultimately, so trivial.

    But you are of course, quite right, nobody knows better than blueball what's best for him.

    I may be going a bit far with this, and reading too much into it, but if by "service" blueball is referring to military service then I for one think this place could help, could be a support, and we (the public) sure owe at least that much to those that have risked life and limb on our behalf, and there ain't much I respect more.

    In that context, a momentary flash is not only utterly forgiveable, but entirely understandable.

    But yes, blueball knows what's best for him. If you do leave, my best wishes go with you.

    Thank you all for the words of support. I don't much enjoy behaving like this, it's embarrassing and causes bad feeling for others. I have decided to stay on but ask that I'm not treated any differently to anyone else - I have to learn to walk away and control this thing. Love you all and thank you.
