I'm sorry about last night.

I remember why I stopped drinking years ago. Last night, while I was drunk and philosophizing on the internet, I said something insulting. That's not who I want to be. I apologize.

Don't beat yourself up about it mate. I and millions of others have done the same. Personally when I've been drinking I sit there for 5 minutes and think very hard if I really want to hit the send button, usually think better of it.
For me, I just have to read Twitter posts for an hour and start to snark evilly. So I have it only on one computer and limit my time. And I still have to hold the send button and think do I want to say that and invite the trolls in? Or roll in the mud with them?
Sigh. Rather spend my time with a book or messing with D|S.
You're good, you apologised.
Bravissimo!
Thank you all very much.
I am glad you communicated today. I join everyone else in saying your presense is much appreciated. We are a community with all of the cohesiveness that is implied by that. I nearly commented last night. My training is in the biological sciences and am interested in how people perceive biology. I had a bunch of friends including a physicist, a chemist, an engineer, a mathematician and a sociologist; the chemist said once that chemistry, physics, and math are hard sciences, sociology is a soft science, and biology is a "squishy" science. I must agree. For example, there is a common perception of what a species is which includes can't breed together and can't produce young that are fertile. Hence lions and tigers are different species. Let me introduce you to that paragon of hybred vigor, the liger. Likewise, the wife of one of the members of my thesis commiteee was a sex researcher who studied a particular community called the Güevedoce. I know people who study mosaics; pretty much every multicellular organism is mosaic so no human has 100% male or female cells and every mother is colonized by cells of their children. What I am leading up to is that science has no part in a discussion of a religious or socialogical concept.
One thing that I've learned during all this societal and cultural chaos is that the content that I consume, has a major affect on what I regurgitate. Before I started working from home, I was a bouncer in an LGBT oriented club for 4 years. I marched in all the pride parades in Atlanta. My interactions with the patrons and staff was never anything closely related to the things I THINK I think sometimes. Every interaction was kind and courteous and I had great friendships (and still do today) with the regulars and staff. It's becoming so much clearer to me why some of the more prominent figures in history reiterate the dangers of isolation. My actions, despite anonymous activity last night, doesn't even come close to how I interact with society. It's amazing how much damage your mouth can do and not have anything to do with who you really are when it comes down to it. I swear it feels like there's more than one entity driving this body sometimes. Anyway, thank you for your comment. I'm going back to being sober and focusing on honing my craft. Cheers.
Do not doubt it. Before Freud's theories, this was commonly understood to be the case. Your username hints at the solution.
Yes, I agree with you and that's exactly why I chose it.
Well, I actually felt very hopeful hearing from you and look forward to hearing from you more in the forums and maybe a render or two? Whatever you do, have fun here. The forums don't have a lot of rules so no need to apologize for working through your process. There are loads of wonderful and helpful people here (as well as a few turds to season the pot) but, all in all, we are here to have enjoyable expressive interactions. Welcome aboard.
In response to a previous post that may or may not exist anymore...
Technically nobody actually made anyone read this thread... The title proclaimed remorse for something the OP said the night before and within the thread they explained why they were remorseful and apologized... maybe it didn't go into too much detail about what was said, but it delivers on its promise of remorse and apology.
I'd understand if the thread was titled "Free Synthetic Bacon, Limited Time Offer" and someone clicked on it expecting free synthetic bacon and found an apology for rude behavior instead...
That could be disappointing... I know I'd be disappointed, but the title said "Sorry for last night" and if anyone went in there expecting something more, that's on them.
I personally chose to read this thread fully understanding that there might not be any offers of free synthetic bacon included and in so doing hold nobody but my own eyeballs responsible for the outcome...
Granted someone who may have been insulted by whatever was said may chose not to forgive the person who offended them, but unless one was party to that conversation and feels the apology falls short of what they were entitled to, it's a little harsh to judge the aforementioned apology as pointless just because it didn't fulfill some unclear expectation or perhaps wasn't a juicy enough story.
Just saying... if someone finds something pointless, is it not more pointless to be offended by its pointlessness?
Or is it even more pointless to point out the pointlessness of calling something pointless in the first place?
Personally I like this quote:
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
—Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel)
It takes courage and decency to apologize like this.
I've done this countless times. Don't feel bad.
The one thing I always tell myself about all the embarrasing moments in my life (and there have been so many), is I'm the only one dwelling on them. No one keeps track.
If I were to ask anyone I had an embarrasing situation with, they have always said they don't remember that. So it's only existing in my head now.
Alcohol is your worst enemy, learn to despise it as a parent would despise someone that would victimise their child, alcohol deserves to be despised by all who are addicted to it!
Sure, some may be able to drink in moderation, but still, far too many cannot, so that rotten drug's negatives far outweigh its benefits, as millions have died from its rotten grip, and yes, I have lived with alcoholics, hence my complete hatred of the drug...
If you find yourself drawn to that nostalgic buzz, know that your nostalgia is built from the drug's effects, not your own, especially considering the perspective of those you've negatively affected while under its influence!
Thanks for doing the right thing, by knowing and appologising for your words while under the influence of that rotten drug!
Great quote!
I missed all the drama. Good.
I last had a beer about 5 years ago. Maybe I'll have a 2nd from that same 6 pack this evening. Is beer like brandy and gets better with age? I had brandy once that was over 100 years old and from Spain. Had too much of it and was lost at see. Hmmm, that sounds like some song lyrics I've heard before, but rest ashore, wasn't intended to.
