My apologies

[newguy1970]

Ladies and Gents of the greater Killeen, Waco and BCS communities. I want to extend my sincere apologies for my comments about Sixxbach in this thread http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=479116

While the truth should be told, it should not come at any price, rather it should be delivered as diplomatically as reasonably possible or at least in not such a way as to knowingly offend. I realize that I am a part of a larger community, and as such, represent our corner of the community when I step into “enemy”territory.

We all have a reputation. Some are better than others. Some are more truthful than others. Some are more helpful than others. Some are more respectful than others. Ranchhand and OldSarge have great reputations and are as great a team of moderators as exist on this board. Genuinely helpful and fair and balanced – to all of us. Several of you ladies and gents have equally great reputations on this board. I have mine. What I failed to take into consideration is that when I step outside of our corner, I also represent, to a lesser extent, our forum.

The things I said in the post above, I would not have said in here. Therefore, I should not have said them at all. While truthful, they were mean, intentionally mean. I pride myself on telling the truth, for calling people out when they are wrong and for taking on those who pick on the fairer sex. If that makes me a White Knight, so be it.

My mother raised me to be a gentleman. Sometimes men play rough, but never rough with the ladies. One of our ladies took a cheap shot, but that is no excuse for me to be rude to the offenders.

As my post was in CoEd, it was not a gentlemanly thing to to. My sincere apologies to anyone here that is offended. I meant none to anyone here.

Happy to sit in my quiet corner of the hobby and am thankful for all the wonderful members here, men and women alike, who make our lives in the hobby more enjoyable.

Just sayin

Well put newguy. U are obviously well versed in the Austin Board, as am I, and self-richeously responded to them bringing their crap to K-W-B/CS. I am sure SixPack's Twin cried poor me, as always, and you will receive some form of punishment for taking it too far, but your version of the truth is widely accepted in Austin. As they used to say there, "Right On".

NewGuy1970 you totally ignored me. My feelings are hurt. I'm the real touble maker in Austin.

On a diiferent note.... Brandy's is a wonderful young lady. And it was your review that caught my eye and promoted me to cut one out of the herd in your neck of the woods so to speak! Thank you for sharing!

Don't take any of this to seriously. After all next week there will be yet another drama unfolding in Austin. LOL

SL I cannot speak for the entire board but from what I read and what I wrote I do not think anyone blames you in particular. You owned up to the fact that you were the "cause" of the drama, but nobody was complaining about the "cause" just the "effect". Not only that but you also apologized to the lady propmtly and even just that alone would have been enough, but you also made at least 2 public apologies (1 in Austin and 1 here). When you hear about Austin doodooheads just have comfort in knowing that most of us do not associate you in that crowd. Also I belive everything that needs to be said has been said. Most of us here think ladies should be treated with dignity and respect while the opposing forces in Austin think that we are all White Knights. Personally I have not seen Brandy, though I have read about her since she came on scene and did not think those comments were called for so I said something about it. I do not know if I would be considered a WK or not seeing how I do not even know her, but if people were to classify me that way - oh well. In my book anyways you are always welcome to come hobby up here with us.

And NewGuy this is your thread right here. I have never had a problem with anything you have said. I have never been offended by you or anyone else here. I do know that the offensiveness of people can be radically different from person to person and one can never be completely unoffensive to everyone at the same time. Good manners have always been passed along in country boys, along with protecting ones own (not just kin). I understand that was all you were doing was defending and even though thing may have gotten a little bit out of hand, the bigger man (not talking dick sizes unless the shoe fits) stepped forward and apologized.

Thank you all, lady and gents alike, for you show of support and acceptance of my apology.

SL - you are welcome here. I can't speak for everyone, but feel free to post in here at any time. No one here blames you or took offense to anything you said. Honest mistake and you manned up. That is good in my book (as well as many others here, I am sure).

I did loose my cool... and I did cross a line.... and my granddaddy told me... "Boy, it does you no good to wrestle with a pig.... everybody gets dirty and the pig loves it..."

Thanks again to you all.

Just sayin
