Default An apology for being a total prick

Over the past few weeks (or maybe even past few months, depending on how I feel) I've been acting like a total prick to some of the people on this board. I have no idea why I've been so abrasive and easily irritated recently, but I'm sorry if I've offended anyone with anything I've said since I registered here. Also, I'd like to apologize to Gerald for teasing him for his manner of writing. For some dumbassed reason I wasn't aware that English wasn't his first language. Turns out they speak Dutch in the Netherlands.

Anyway, in the meantime, I really need to tone down my sledgehammer-subtle "humor" which seems to offend so many people, and just keep to myself from now on.

no need to keep to yourself, just don't habitually mock the writing style of people whose first language isn't english

Well, maybe my english is so good, that you didn't see me as a non-native speaker huh?
Did the "witch" pic bring a smile on your face, or did the reactions of the others make you realise that it was funny?

Keep the humor, lose the attitude. This post is class, dude, I reject randdebiel and child. Respect.

I have enjoyed the humor, and laugh at your various signature pictures. (Maybe because I have a 17 year old male, whose humor has tainted mine...)

It is too bad that writing is two-dimensional so that no one can see the smile on your face as you are typing..or hear the inflection in your voice, which would help people - not to be offended. Sometimes I get offended here on the Ledge - just for that reason.

But I think your name "SortaSavageLike" tells us that you're not to be taken seriously....like are you SavageLike or NotSavageLike? How can one be "Sorta".... LOL

I like your posts -- keep posting....I'd miss you, otherwise...

Yeah... everybody on the Ledge is a total prick at some point or another. It's true.

Thats ok! We all misunderstand one another from time to time, and can say things that get taken out of context, or just plainly the wrong way altogether even though that is not our intent. Apology accepted...even though I dont know what you're talking about. I on the other hand, apologize multiple times and it goes unheeded. Go figure! *wink*

Hmm, I didn't even notice, but I think you are funny.

As an aside, I always think it is really funny, and kinda sad, that our non native English speakers often express themselves much better than some of our native English speakers. Including grammar and spelling.
America - the fat, not so swift cousin that everyone puts up with because he always brings the best toys.
