Alright man, I’ve got to admit, if you were the mean-spirited bastard that I thought you were, you would have most likely resorted to just petty insult by now. That is absolutely what I was expecting from you. Instead, you’ve maintained your position and stuck to your guns, thereby proving me wrong.
Look man, I am also sick to death of hearing about people crashing. I’m sick to death of hearing people grapple for external reasons why they crashed. 99.99% of the time in any crash, single vehicle or otherwise, there’s something the rider could have done differently to have avoided getting into the situation that caused the crash in the first place.
But I also know people pretty well, and know that they generally won’t listen to you if mock or talk down to them. Hell, people generally don’t want to admit when they’re wrong in most things anyway – copping what comes across as a condescending tone with them just makes their unwillingness to listen grow worse,
especially if they're hardheaded.
Maybe your tone comes across differently in public, maybe it’s different in your head as you type it. I don’t know. But when it comes out in the printed word you often come off like an abrasive fuck whose principal interest is letting the world know how superior you are – and that your interest in BARF is merely as a venue to aid you to that end. I love this place, in spite of it’s problems and dysfunctions. I had a real problem with what I saw was going on, which is I why I felt the need to call you on it.
Apparently I was wrong and I sincerely apologize for misjudging you and your intentions.

Unfortunately now, that the cat is out of the bag, now that you’ve gone and shown you do give a shit, you’re going to automatically get inducted into The Sensitive Man Crew. It’s not all bad though; I hear initiation involves some free tea bagging, complements of kimchee.
And my offer to beer you and Berto stands, I’m at Family’s damn near every Wednesday.
P.S. - Oh and uhhhh. . . you're a goose stepper.
(Thanks for the tip, Berto -- gotta keep my rep intact!
