The Olive Branch Thread - Page 2

But those were in person.

Amazing, but true.

Well, shit.

Yeah that's the Devin I think we'd all like to see a little more of. Not that I have a problem with Devin, but he's not usually that...personable.

FreeRobotSex, I'm sorry we've grown so distant. When you moved away because your dad got that job in Lansing... well, I figured we'd always be friends. Lord knows I tried. I mailed you letters as often as I could, but as time went on and I sent more and more letters without a response... It just got harder and harder to write each time. Knowing that I was here, that I WAS trying to maintain some sort of connection and I wasn't getting any response. That was hard. Did you stop caring? Did you always want a reason to leave me behind? It tore me up trying to figure out why you weren't writing back. I'm sorry for the things I wrote in the final letter. Maybe I didn't think you'd read that one either. I know some of the things I wrote probably cut, but I'm here... I'm here NOW writing to make amends and try to re-establish some sort of bond. I'm reaching out. Can you reach back? I hope you can find it in yourself to do so. Because at the end of the day, no matter where you are, no matter what you're doing, all that really matters is your connection to other humans; your relationships are what defines you as a person. Can you make that leap? Can you still form connections?

Because you still owe me $5 dollars, asshole.

My ignore list is now empty.

Brad & Seabass, let's give this a try.

Double post. Ignore.

I'd forgotten about that one...Truly one of the all-time bizarre threads.

Dude, you've missed out on all the funny.

I'm sorry for being a hairpile. In the interest of comraderie, I shaved. Completely.

Sure. Though I stanhd firm on my spiel in the Poll thread...like I'll stand firm with any argument/discourse I possess, based on the argument and film at hand. I think that's been the case the large majority of the time whether it's Micah, Charlie, Dev, Diva or Grofield.

Myers: pleased to hear it. That guy's misguided poison was worse than 99% of any idiocy here.

I'm wary that this will work, but I'll bite. To those of you who've I've had issues with, you know who you are, everything's copacetic.

Also, I apologize to Britney, Paris and Lindsay for calling you skank whores!

I'd like to apologize to the old, old timers I pissed off with my untrustworthy and selfish behaviour. Nick, Devin, I hope that you guys will come to consider me a friend again sometime.

I'd also like to apologize to Jason Pollock. I am not exactly sure what I did wrong, but I haven't heard from you in over a year almost and that makes me pretty bumed out.

Nah, neither of you are cool.

I apologize to Nick and Ludwig.

Whoever pissed off Omega2 needs to offer him the Olive Branch yesterday. True genius.

I'd like to extend an olive branch to the message board in general for the bullshit I pulled after I first joined.

I have recently revisited some of my earlier posts and... Jesus.

Mea Culpa.

I'll actually extend that very same olive branch to the boards in general for my not submitting news about Spidey 3 set pics and then mouthing off to Devin about it. I was having a bad day and was a real asshole.

"You keep pitching the big fatties and I'll keep swinging.
But in the interest of protecting your currently fragile psyche I'll delete my snarky signature. And for reals, man- see somebody about these mood swings."

Bobclark, how is Nick's psyche fragile ? He's just trying to end a few feuds, start over.
Maybe it won't change anything for some people, as most of us will never meet each other and we can hide behind the anonymity of the internet, but at least he's trying.

I don't know you but that post a) isn't funny and b) makes you look like an arse. Grow up.

Uhhh.. okay?

Apparently, attacking Devin is SO 2003.

Message board: I'm so sorry to have neglected your replying ways.

Hey! Reputation is back on. And you can now comment on people's individual posts. I just got my first, and from this thread no less:

Queer.

Niiice.

I'm sorry about all the precious moments we've shared Brad. Tell you what. The truth is... sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it.

The guy starts a thread lambasting the boards and calling for bannings and fascist levels of control, then immediately turns around and gets all weepy and apologetic. And it's not the first time this has happened, so pardon me if I don't take it completely seriously.
Besides, he opened with the disclaimer "I doubt this will work", which just reeks of ego and self-martyrdom. The guy definitely has issues. I just wonder if this message board is where he should be trying to work them out.

You've betrayed Nick, he's totally going to hire someone to kill you with an Ice Pick.

Just to keep the post on topic - I'm sorry for being a dumbass in the Akira thread. It was a silly thing to say and I lament it.

I havent actually got any issues with anyone but I am sorry I defended the Davinci Code.

Has anyone ever made a Devinci Code joke ?

Surely they have.

And then apologised.

Like I do now.

Nick, all apologies for my failings as DVD reviewer and for referring to 11CA! as 12CA!

And even though Devin will probably sodomize me with it, I extend an olive branch to him as well.

Now I'll forever picture Christian Slater saying "Moltishanti"

I publicly apologize to The Hellboy for something I said to him in one of the private forums a couple of years ago (which I apologized for privately a while back). Yes, it's already water under the bridge, but consider this my public atonement in reverence for the thread Nick created here.

I also apologize to Devin, Dellamorte and the few others I was a cunt to during this same timeframe. Whether or not they were cunts also and the reasons why I lashed out are irrelevant to me now so only my sincere apology remains. Even though things have been cool since then, consider the olive branch formally extended... and Guinness (or elixir of your choice) will be on me when next we meet (which might be SDCC '07).

In short, my mother raised me to know better than some of the behavior I exibited on here in the past.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. When did bgirl disappear?

Perhaps Devin didn't truly forgive her. He was only..... biding his time.

Apologies to Nick for being an absolutely shitty reviewer a couple of years ago. I think I managed to turn in one, and that was before my old SN got hacked by Scorched Planet. Also to George for throwing out Chewer Column ideas and never taking them anywhere.

I've taken things way too seriously on these boards in the past, and while I've apologized in private, consider this my olive branch to anyone I ticked off prior to Summer 2005. As far as I'm concerned, you are all now in my cool book.

I am going to go ahead and appologize for my insolence in the "Pop-Up Ad thread. Sometimes, I slouch in my chair and the switches on the back of my head flip off.

All kidding aside, it was fucking dumb.

I think Michael Bay downvoted me for not liking Bad Boys II.

Thanks, fellas.

I'm sorry for the zombie porn I posted in the Sex Forum. It wasn't something I was looking for, just something I found over at Hardcore Gossip and thought was just bizarre.

I'm also sorry for all the pornstar RIP threads. I honestly believed that posting nude pics of them in the Sex Forum would be the only way to relate to them, as no one really cared that they died.

And I'm sorry I'm having trouble posting the pic of Devin and I and the Warriors screening. I have a new photoshop program for the life of me, I don't know how to shrink the photo.

Fabfunk, I'm sorry I just gave you more negative reputation points.

You probably shouldn't have come into this thread, Slater.

I'm sorry fabfunk is still here.

I forgive you for threatening me, Fabfunk.

Man, I know this is too easy. And yet, I cannot resist.

Rath, does this apology include activities previously attributed to your "brother?"

For my part, Carl, I'd like to start over and hope that you can forgive and forget w.r.t. my suggestions that your wife and Kris Benson engaged in primal, sloppy sexual slap-slap.

I was referring to you totally disrespecting the purpose of the thread. As in, why do you bother?

I'll forgive you for that one, too.

I'm sorry to:

Nick - For all the Team Django bullshit, not to mention any of the general bullshit that I started, caused or extended over the years up to and including that Queen of the Damned DVD 'review...'

Andre Dellamorte - For not being cool in person. Either that or for being too 'Django' in person, guess it depends on which point of view we're looking at...

Ludwig - For running over his favorite caribou back in Burbank...

But most of all I'd like to apologize to Jason Pollock. We had some times, but for some reason it always had to end up bad. Guess I was Kevin Reynolds to his Costner. I'm sorry I wasn't the friend you needed me to be.

If you're reading this...call me. Life's too short to let bullshit or dreams get in the way of friendship.

'Dumbo! Give me a gun!'

And Kirby...no worries. That was years and two handles ago...

Wow. Django. Blast from the past...

i'll see Carl's apology and raise him another. As you said Carl, it's water under the bridge, but I apologize for my incredibly rude and childish behavior towards you a long time ago... you know i wish you the best.

My turn. Sorry to Bob for getting shitty with him over a comment about kicking a dog. Long time ago but I totally misread the humour there, so sorry for that.

Also, sorry to Wackynephews for my snarky comment (again, awhile ago.)

Finally, sorry to Nick for grumbling at him for his lack of response when I offered him a free DVD once. That wasn't on the boards but what the hell, I'm a decent guy with good manners. Now there's something I'll never apologise for!!

I hope!

Django? WTF?!?! That's some oldschool Chewing right there.

I apologize for...

I got nothin'. Glad to see some apologizin' though.

I apologize to Grammar and Common Courtesy.

Signed,
The Chewers



Sorry about postings another one. Friday is a long day to sit in an office all by yourself.
