My apologies

[dmcfarland]

I apologize if anyone got offended by my comments. I started out with a little dark humor, and some got very angry. I have re-read the forum rules and Im going to do the best I can to follow those rules. Ive felt ive been put on the defensive since Ive joined this forum. I got carried away after Kintaro pushed my buttons. It happens.

I apologize to Htexmex, oritheous, Refalm and a couple of others who havent been dicks to me, or called me a retard or moron. Maybe they have but I probably deserved it. Im going to stick to the issues from now on.

Apologies accepted.

[dmcfarland]

Thank You.

Hey at least you man'ed up to apologize (unlike some people that I won't name)

[dmcfarland]

Thats what men do. They swallow their pride and apologized when they have done something innapropiate. Thanks

The sad thing is kintaro used to be a decent member, I hope he's either fucked off for good or he returns to his former self - preferably the latter.

Yeah ... I hope so too ... he has a 'unique' view on things, it'd be sad to see him go.

Oh ... and apologies accepted :thumbup: ... it's not easy to apologize, at least not for me. (cuz I'm convinced that I'm always right)

Honestly I dont know what Kintaro was like, before. I guess something happened.

[offtopic]People can rate your posts by clicking the "Add to X's Reputation" button on their post:

The more green boxes you have the better you've been rated by more people.

Check out the front-page of your User CP to read the comments people have made, and see the posts you got rated on (Moderators can also see who it was that rated them, but normal users can't.).[/offtopic]

[offtopic]Members who were here before the new rating system was introduced have blue squares and those who are very unpopular have red squares. You'll notice that if you place the mouse cursor over the square a phrase will pop-up like "x has made a multi kill" or "x is a MSCE" the former is good and the latter is bad.[/offtopic]

[OFFTOPIC] Ok, thanks :thumbup: ... that's what I needed to know [/OFFTOPIC]

IIRC blue on a post also means that the member has opted out of the reputation system. I recall a couple members who have been active after the conversion to VB, but still were blue. I can't remember names, though...

See in the User CP frontpage where you can see the latest reputation received? How do you get a blue square for something? I can see how you get green (someone approved the post) and red (someone disapproved the post). What about blue (Lead Head has told me it means neutral)? How do you get/give blue/neutral rep? It's not in the dialog I use to give rep to people...
