Are you implying that I have no sense?;)

Your perfective seems a little skewed....and of course it is not very nice being badgered for something you deem trivial but others may not. Don't you think.:p

Seriously, While I accept that the post was trivial and meant little, I cannot understand your reticence to simply accept the consequences of your post, instead of trying to justify not giving what would have been a simple apology between friends for what was an unintentional slight taken out of the context in which it was meant.

Call me old fashioned, but it just seems like good manners.

Anyway, as you request I shall let it lie. (Seems I may have a modicum of sense afterall...who'd have thought!..;))

Let's break this down, because it to me almost seems like you haven't understood.

It may be good manners, and it's something I mostly oblige to, however in this case I judged it differently.

I have accepted my role in the whole affair and even its consequences and been quite open about it, how can you assume otherwise? If I didn't care, I wouldn't have bothered replying so much - did you stop to think about that?

Please don't assume anything about my character. I do not look down my nose at anyone as I severely resent those that do so to me. I am not one of them. I am however, someone that believes people can be better/stronger than they are (see your own sig if you need a reminder of that) and sometimes they need a gentle push - that's all this is. You're stuck in the event and not seeing the bigger picture.

There will be no apology here because to do so is self-defeating. It's as simple as that. If I was ill-mannered or uncaring I would've carried on taking the ****. I didn't.

My perspective isn't skewed at all, you just don't understand it nor my character or personal philosophies. Don't mistake that for me being naive, immature or any other unfounded assumption you want to throw my way. There is method in the madness.

Really? :confused:

Robert Thompson and Jon Venables parents both said the exact same thing.

I think running a spam thread to get free delivery is a little different from premeditated torture and murder.

Whether a 10 year old can fully comprehend the consequences of their actions is another thread.

I'm sure, but I bet they still said the same thing :p

You seem to be making all the assumptions here, not I. (note the smilies in my quoted post)

I understand your perspective perfectly, I simply don't agree with it. You are over analysing and simply saying 'sorry, no offence meant' is not self defeating or going to damage anyone's self-worth.

Also your statement:

implies that you do see yourself above others of a certain temperament, who are you to judge the strength of character and integrity of someone and is it not slightly arrogant to assume that you can be that judge and push them, albeit gently in the right direction?

Also making veiled implications against my intentions and character is somewhat disingenuous and equally not appreciated.

Indeed. I apologise for any offence you may have taken, I can assure you it was not intentional. I was curious as to your motivation that is all.

Excellent.

...and in keeping with this thread I'm going to completely disagree with everything you've said and refuse to apologise.

Huuuurrrrrrrr.

It's gayer than Samwell sliding down a rainbow into a pool of baby oil with YMCA playing in the background. So if you like that kinda thing then start at post 1 :p
 
Jesus, this thread has kinda shown the bad side to these forums. Why can't people just leave things alone?
