Let's bring this post back to the front page. BTW sometimes you will get more posts in this forum with inflammatory comments than an apology. Dont take it personal.

Is the point to 'get more posts', or to garner more information or opinions?

Nah, it was more in response to what he said in the other post about this one gettin viewed like 350 times and only one response, like nobody cared that he was apologizing. I was not implying that being an attention whore is cool.

You were right. Nobody cared.

Anyhow, I guess you have figured out that you have to make a couple more posts than 11 before you can drop a bomb post like that. Although you might not mean it, just seeing text can make some statements seem cold and express a dont give a shit attitude. That can make folks think you are just a troll since we have limited exposure to yer opinions and such.
Kinda like going over to meet yer girlfriends parents the first time, and after a nice dinner over dessert you tell dad you want your girl to make porn. not too smooth.
Thanks again, yes I have not mastered the art of communication without the aid of body language. Often my posts do come out sounding rude or obnoxious, such as GeorgeS's post above, even though I do not intend them to.
personally, I think GeorgeS was sugarcoating it. Me, IMHO you came across as an ignorant dork...but that is subjective; albeit rather common here I believe. I hope things get better here for you, this is a valuable resource to utilize properly.

You should either put more thought into phrasing your posts, or refrain from making them until you have mastered that skill.
My comment was neither rude nor obnoxious. It was a statement of fact. If anyone cared, they would have replied to you.
