Need to apologize, as required

[bassguy74]

I was going to post something sarcastic, but I went and read your OP and thought you asked an honest, simple, straight forward question without any unethical overtones. If some people jump to conclusions about you....well, you can't help that. We are all supposed to be adults here, even if we act like little kids sometimes...make that all the time. It takes stones to make a public apology (even if any mistake you made was unintentional), and I applaud you for it!

Thank you VERY much Becker! Those comments mean a lot to me, especially in this "debacle" if you want to call it that. lol

I personally think that you have no reason to apologize.





It's all good.


This is tb. People will try to turn your words and innocent intention(s) to learn into something else.

OK thanks for that dude. It sounded from a few posts here and there that you thought my post was a bit lame though. Apparently you don't think it was lame enough for me to apologize? lol

I honestly didn't think it was lame at all.

And I didn't think it was racist.


My comment was based off of the history here at tb. I could have asked the same exact question and gotten an overall totally different respond.

I'm with Jauqo and becker, I don't believe you have anything to apologize for at all. The question seemed direct enough that I thought that nobody would take it for anything else but I guess I thought wrong, lol. I defended you and th thread to the best of my ability but I suppose that with all the flak it was getting it had to go down eventually. Either way it takes a big man to admit he's wrong, but it takes an even bigger man to take the fall for something that was not his fault. You sir, are that bigger man.

I didn't read the whole thread but it takes a man to apologize. Good job man. I wasn't going to do it but..........5:15 pm in Detroit.

 

[baalroo]

Already people trying to re-fan the flames again, sheesh.

Anyhow, it's 4:38pm here

 

[bassguy74]

Well, again, thanks for all the support guys, and thanks for the compliments also.

2:41 Vacaville time, and OP, hand over the man card; man law clearly states *man does not apologize*. I can't recall the exact law, but I vividly remember reading it. I'll try and find the actual law later.
BTW, why is this in bassists?

Edit: Adding the obligatory *not-genuinely-trying-to-rile-anyone-here smilie

5:47 here in central Ohio. Opinions will be just like anything else. You'll have that, especially here on TB, so just get used to getting flamed when something "controversial" comes up and you have an opinion on it.

 

[Kipaste]

I didn't get offended or think it was anything else than a simple question, but I salute you for being man enough to make the people who took it otherwise feel better.

So 0:55 AM greetings from the future to you who are still dwelling in thursday. No flying cars yet, so don't hold your breath.

It seems to me that those who tried to twist your thread into something it wasn't, owe you the apology.

yeah, that was my reason for reporting / ignoring... there was NO WAY it was going to end well without constant supervision. Not that the post was wrong, the expected reactions are

6:15 PM out in Buffalo. Sorta hazy...not sure exactly why. Probably pollution from Detroit.

 

[guitardefector]

Hey, man, I don't know what you said but if we can forgive Tiger and Jesse James we can find room for you.

It's 3:52 pm. right now... and I'm lighting my cigarette lighter in your direction.

Man law #186: A man does not apologize he just buys the person a beer.

I don't see anything wrong with the original post. I think racial pride is fine, but for the life of me, I can't tell the difference between races just by listening to someone play bass. I don't want to sound "holier-than-thou" but it's just not something I've ever paid attention to.
