Open Apology

Post by apw5746 » Mon Sep 08, 2014 7:31 am

To all that viewed my comments to Palerider for his sophomoric sense of humor, and sarcasm, and for engaging him in return, making crass and sophomoric comments myself for all to see, I apologize. I even ask for his forgiveness. However, I won't forget what he's said.

I've placed him on my foe list, as I'm sure he's done to me, so I no longer see his unwanted comments. Thus avoiding making retaliatory remarks for all to see.

He may mean well, but I think he enjoys stirring the pot. I dislike people people being belittled rather than get good advice. Some tend to avoid this forum all together, due to his insensitive remarks. My judgment only.

Sorry you felt the need to apologize tho it was big of you to do so!

There are many who agree with you, and I too know people who avoid this forum due to his insensitive and sarcastic remarks... people who really need the knowledge that many here do have. In just the last few weeks, I have sent private messages to two people suggesting who they can PM to get the help and knowledge they deserve.

Thank you APW5746 and ems. If there were a "Like" button on this forum, I would use it. I have only made one member a foe recently, but it is highly likely others will be added if things continue in the same vein. It is a shame when people are scared away by personal attacks. We all need to be more tolerant of other people's opinions, and have a conversation rather than pushing one particular opinion as being the answer to everything. It also needs to happen at higher levels than this forum, but we have to start somewhere!

It is a clever thing to mask a criticism into an apology. The tone that has been set here clearly indicates a high expectation that this thread can easily turn into an attack on the devil. I don’t disagree with any of the comments you guys made! But if we want to attack the devil then do so.

Adults are expected to be able to handle some issues of disagreement. This is not pre-school.

I find your campaign to sway opinion against PR at least as distasteful as some of his remarks.

I'm trying not to comment one way or the other.
However, in general, forums are a mixture of "personalities", for better or worse. Everybody's different.

I don't think this link has been posted on the forum for a long time.

Enjoy. You may be able to see yourself or some of the others you like or dislike.

Run a poll, and ask if PR has made any sarcastic remarks to peoples posts and watch the results.

I'm not running any campaign. In fact, I didn't know it was an election year However, you're entitled to your opinion. He's help sway opinion against himself. I'm just furthering his cause.

If letting people know how to tune him out, and others of his ilk, then I'll do it every time. PR makes comments that are offensive about 80+% of the time. He's admitted so in one of his post. I'm unable to view it as he's on my foe list.

Have a fun day

Apologies followed by a "but" and justification are not apologies and not accepted in daycare.

There's lots of swervedrivers (a UK expression) who enjoy banging into the rails on either side of the road. These folks mostly do it for fun and for shock value, tho a minority are just ego-bloated fools. Often they are well aware of what they are doing but that does not deter them... sadly, I was sorta like that when I first showed up on CPAPtalk.

IMO, it takes too much negative energy to create and to respond to these tracts, therefore I simply ignore them because I don't want to waste the valuable time I have left in life by railing against things/opinions I can't possibly change. But hey, if you get your rocks off blasting each others beliefs and lifestyles then go for it... however, regarding that sick entertainment, don't count me in

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

You sure said a mouthful! Unfortunately, there are bullies in pre-school and day care. I would like to think they have parents and teachers who will guide them to be thinking, considerate adults, rather than stay bullies all of their lives.

Oh, have a fun day!
