    I get your frustration and honestly I probably took some shit out on you I shouldn’t have. You didn’t deserve it either. I didn’t exactly live by my own words, did I?

    Yeah, this whole thing got fucked up. I’m sorry. You’re a good person and I shouldn’t have kept piling on. I used you more as a vehicle to vent at someone than anything truly meaningful. You didn’t deserve that and again, I’m sorry.

    Don’t let me scare you away. I’m an admitted unapologetic ass myself. I’ve gotten so tired of being nice and seeing everything still go to shit that now I’m just tired of being nice. But that’s not fair and doesn’t help either.

    I dunno what else to say other than fuck me and I hope you move past this and keep posting.

      I totally get the frustration from watching people talk past each other, neither side taking anything positive away from the exchange, arguing for the sake of arguing or a misplaced desire to “own” the other one. It’s exhausting and there’s lots of times I want to do exactly what you did, so I truly do understand.

      No hard feelings, and I really do appreciate the apology. We all get heated sometimes… it’s easy to do on the internet, especially when text makes it easy to misinterpret tone.

      It’s nice to end things on a positive note and on the same page - as I said, I’m a consensus builder. For what it’s worth, you were absolutely right that taking your emotion out of your argument and just being sincere works, at least when someone is approaching things in good faith, which I believe we both were.
