Sorry

...I never argued for the posting of "gay" and am very much against it. I also did not insult the staff of the board continually...I don't know where you got that from. I mentioned fundamentalist ideals but haven't brought that up again since the start. I am obviously a fan of the LPA, I have been on it for almost 4 years. I am not even arguing about changing the rule now, as I have said multiple times before and asked for the thread to be moved. I simply was asking why it was offensive.

I am not sure why doing so has hurt so many people here. If asking for you to explain yourselves has offended you, I apologize. My goal was understanding, not harm. It is unfortunate this has been misunderstood. I'm 19 and have grown past using those words in that sense as well. Even if it was allowed here I wouldn't use it.

However, since it seems we cannot discuss with without hurting people, I will drop it. Again, I apologize for offending you.

EDIT: And please don't argue in reply to me here..this topic is to apologize, not to debate.

 

I mean you no offense, but if you can't figure out why using the words "retarded" and "gay" to describe things which are neither retarded nor gay, then you're a very, very dense person, and that's what's got everyone in a tiff.

 

You should have just dropped it. There was no point continuing the argument. Sometimes it's better to just walk away with your own faith that you were right than try to argue that you were right. I warned you earlier that no good would come of it but you didn't listen.

One thing I will say though is that regardless of whether your point was right or wrong, I think some people over-reacted.

 

I just ask people stop using the gay example with me....as I am as against that as you are. If I am to be hated, let me be hated for the truth.

 

And Hellflame, you are right. I was hoping this could be discussed in a different manner but I was incorrect.

 

I only included "gay" to further represent the example that it's simply asinine to use the words in a way in which they were never intended. No one's against using the word "retard" (or its variants, as I've said) when the context is perfectly acceptable. But to say, "Oh, man, my computer is retarded today," just makes no sense.

 

Um, one misunderstanding. I was referring to Chris "Seinfeld's" post a while back calling the LPA family, and said I felt my definition was stricter and that an online forum wasn't "family" in my opinion. I never meant to direct this as an attack at the mods or the site, or anyone else. I was simply explaining why I disagreed witht he term. You certainly do not ruin what family means, and if you thought I said that you have my deepest apologies.

I do disagree with some of the other things you just said about me, but unless you give me permission I won't defend myself against them.

And I don't hate the word "retarded", I just personally don't prefer to use it.

 

I think he was talking about how the LPMB was badly run. But that could be me.

 

No, you're right.

 

Alright Guys..Can We Drop This? He's Apologized Multiple Times. He Seems To Know What The Rules Are

Even If He Was Asking For Reason As to Why People Get worked Up About Them. But At This Point? Who Cares Anymore.

 

I felt I was more peaceful than a lot of others. I understand I upset you, but I found will advising me to "SHUT THE HELL UP" and Todd posting that Youtube link far more offensive than anything I said (except when you actually thought I was telling you you ruining what it meant to be family). So I guess I feel a little bit slighted here...because anyone could insult me if they wanted with no repercussions and I was told to leave the site because I felt one certain rule was being upheld without evidence.

I do understand your feelings though. When someone puts years of their life into creating an excellent thing such as the LPA, sometimes disagreements over any small portions of it can sting more than they usually would.

 

I already apologized for that.

 

Eeeehehehehehe

Lets Not Discuss That Here

 

Sorry Will. I missed your apology.

I was never offended by anyone except when someone flat out insulted me, so no worries there Louis (at least with me).

Friends.
