Sign in to disble this ad
This thread is a public apology to Jauqo III X and the Talkbass forums entirety for my childish behavior of late. I've been going through something lately (what it is is irrelevant) and it's caused me to act uncharacteristically ill-tempered on the forums, specifically on Jauqo's threads.
I've spoken to Jauqo on the phone this morning after apologizing in a PM and I think he's a very cool, sincere cat. I have no good excuse for targeting him, except to say the problem was all mine.
I'm changing the things in my life that have made me act so foolishly, and I want to state publicly that I feel nothing but peace and love for my bass playing breathren on Talkbass. I'm a father of 4 and to act in such a childish manner is a very embarassing thing to realize, but I'm manning up and trying to fix it the best way I know how.
This is my solemn promise to not ever take my crap out on a fellow TBer again.
Thanks for reading.
Shawn

Shawn,
I'm not sure or concerned with what happened, but I applaud you being accountable for your actions. Your humilty and request of forgiveness will bring well deserved grace and acceptance in all circles of your life.
I sincerely suggest we all take personal inventory of ourselves and not be known as "typical self-righteous musician jerks" as I've seen stated here in TB.
I've been coming here to TB for about a month now and more of thes etype of posts are quite refreshing!!!
Bless you Shawn!!!!!!  |

| | | I have no idea what you are taking about. It would be helpful if you would post links to your most obnoxious posts so we can get a feel for your need to apologize. Heck I should do the same! Wait, no, bad idea.  |
