Apology Thread Registry

[craigwatanabe]

For future reference, I Craig Watanabe make this apology for any future reference to anyone whose toes I stepped on.

The next time I piss off somebody, reference this post to dispense a heartfelt, "I'm Sorry" to your ego.

I figure most of us here on HT need to apologize every once in a while to another HT'er so this way by creating a registry we can just tell the defendant to refer to the HT Apology Thread Registry.:D

You can even link your post to this URL: http://www.hawaiithreads.com/showthread.php?p=158871#post158871

[tikiyaki]

Me too. I know of a few people who won't be posting on this thread. :D

[acousticlady]

I, too, add my apology. In fact, I just got done posting one that may require it. :o

Excellent idea, Craig.

[Menehune Man]

Oh, if I have to.
No, actually I too am sorry for the times I wasn't patient or understanding of others. Aloha and peace.

[lavagal]

You mean if I post a formal appology here now, I can post as an ssa ad nauseum forever and ever?!!! Kinda like putting prayers in the bank to avoid hell or purgatory? Kinda like since I said I was sorry I can oppo on whomever I want?
If you refer someone you think needs to say they are sorry to this particular thread, do you also have to apologize when you do so?
Do I have to appologize when I write with my tongue in cheek? Just having fun, Craig! Sorry! :rolleyes:

[GeckoGeek]

To anyone who is put off by my "tone of voice" in my posts, I'm sorry. I tend to be brief. Unfortunately "brief" tends to come across as snippy. Or worse.

[ploal5333]

I'll also add my sincerest apology here for future instances where it's needed.

[timkona]

I've been the ashhole for my entire life. Perhaps it's the lack of a clutch between my brain and my mouth. But at least everybody has a benchmark to judge who the good folks are. There are basically two kinds of folks in the world....the one's who hate me, and the one's who love me(or have not met me yet;) ). There is very little gray area in the middle.

If you have ever been hurt by words, turn down your sensitivities. I make no apologies for the last statement.

I, Ms Pua'i-I-Ka-Mana'o, Counsel for the Plaintiff, hereby consider all such apologies as spurious efforts to mask the true intention which is to refrain from offering my client due process, which is to receive a fully genuine apology. We ask the Court to consider damages instead and shall file suit accordingly. We enter into the Court Exhibit A, located between the Plaintiff's folded index and ring fingers.

[adrian]

I apologize to my family, whom I've hurt so much over this past weekend because of my stubborn attitude and unwillingness to share my feelings. I'm also sorry to my siblings, whom I wasn't able to drive to church and maybe cleanse myself from what is happening to me.

And if there's people from the other hawaii forum I visit, I apologize for what I brought unto you, and hope to leave bygones as bygones and start all over again. *wink* *wink*

(man, I gotta start posting more in my blog)

[craigwatanabe]

Ohhh his hair! I thought he was talking about that gray mass we call the Brain :eek: :D

[LikaNui]

I am most definitely NOT going to apologize for this post (http://www.hawaiithreads.com/showpost.php?p=159332&postcount=11) that I just wrote.
:mad:

One would think that mainlanders would understand that we're just a little busy over here today and for the next few days. A recall of Barbie dolls is, you know, kind of massively low on our priority list right now.
Sheesh.
:rolleyes:

:rolleyes:

The mainland could care less about what's happening here. Early this morning around 5am the national news was all a buzz about tropical depressions in the Gulf of Mexico and the heat wave somewhere in the US but absolutely no mention about their long forgotten 50th state and it's weather and geological problems.

And my wife phones in from Oahu telling me the TV news had a blurb about the earthquake on the Big Island then...Meanwhile back here on Oahu...and for the rest of the morning it was all about Oahu.

I wish there was one TV station that looked at Hawaii as the entire state including all islands instead of just Honolulu and for that I apologize for those stations that continue to keep a "Honolulu-centric" focus only...meanwhile on the neighbor islands...yeah we're just the Smiths from across the street.

[timkona]

Craig is funny. I'm laughing. Hey Craig, hows the weather over Puna side?

[craigwatanabe]

Craig is funny. I'm laughing. Hey Craig, hows the weather over Puna side?

Hey Tim...um...refer to Post #1:D

Weather wise we're under a foot of snow with moderate hail...no? Okay we're under heavy overcast skies and there's still no wind or rain. Just really dark and ominous skies. Good thing though is we got satellite reception which is frickin unusual.

[Leo Lakio]

The mainland could care less about what's happening here.Hey, now.

And I see PLENTY of postings at present, from people there in Hawai`i on all kinds of topics other than the hurricane. Personally, I was annoyed at the Weather Channel last night, as they mentioned Flossie as their top story in the billboard, but didn't cover it until ten after the hour. (Of course, one could also point out that the 100-plus-degrees-for-several-days heatwave in the Southeast does affect a few hundred thousand more people than Flossie, thus justifying its place higher up in the broadcast.)

And, if you please, the correct phrase is "couldn't care less." Think about it ... "could care less" means that you have room to find even less interest in a topic. Like Barbie recalls. Or vanity plates. Or Mainland bashing. (But that's a peeve - not an apology.)

Now, back to our regularly-scheduled hatch battening. And let's keep hoping that all the precautions end up being unnecessary, due to a nice southward turn, combined with a lessening of intensity. Then you can all consider it good practice, and no one gets hurt.

Ummm... bullsheet.

I was up until about 4 a.m. last night, watching weather reports on CNN Headline News, CNN, Fox News and MSNBC.

ALL OF THE NETWORKS prominently featured Flossie during their weather reports. The earthquake was also mentioned.

I don't know what station you were watching.

[Whitepoint3rchum]

My appologies for any ad hominems I may have slung about. I usually try to keep that in check but sometimes sucumb.

[helen]

I need to apologize for making the second sentence to this post (http://www.hawaiithreads.com/showpost.php?p=159370&postcount=139). It was uncalled for the thread and the sub-forum in general.

[Leo Lakio]

It was uncalled for the thread and the sub-forum in general.But it was still funny...

[Whitepoint3rchum]

Lika Nui, I've gotta know this... Where does this hostility towards Muilang stem from? You're upset that there are topics here on HT that stray from "pressing" Hawai'i issues, but as far as I can tell this whole forum has departed from what it was (in 2004-05). It has become more like Hawai'i Threads Lite (and I'm curious if that is why many of the ealier prolific posters have cut back).

[Leo Lakio]

[WindwardOahuRN]

Thought: shouldn't an apologetic post be placed where the apologizing poster originally posted a post for which the apology was intended? So we could follow the actions and reactions that brought the poster to the conclusion that an apology was necessary?

Most apropos, I would think. Then someone else could post a poll allowing others to vote as to whether or not they felt an apology was called for. :rolleyes:

I was listening to the only AM station we can pick up out here in Keaau and they were broadcasting some national news feed over and over again talking only about the tropical disturbances in the Gulf of Mexico.

And PJ you're right how could you know what station I was watching?:D Refering discussion about this back to Post #1.

Occasionally when I post on the internets, I can get provocative and abrasive. Regardless of what we discuss or how the discussion turns, I think each and every one of you are really cool people and this is one of the best forums I've been on. I'm sorry if anything I wrote made anyone feel bad.

Hehe, good to know someone else has made the same observation (with regards to point one). :)

[Whitepoint3rchum]

Just to make sure we're thinking along the same lines, have you read this (http://www.hawaiithreads.com/showpost.php?p=156181&postcount=139)?

If your opponent's sarcasm is not an attempt to counter your argument, but merely an attempt to insult you (or amuse the bystanders), then it is not part of an ad hominem argument.

Thanks for the link. Seems to be spot on with what I always believed they were. And yes, sometimes I have used personal attacks to attempt to undermine and counter an argument (only in arenas when the outcome doesn't truly matter). That was a very interesting read though.

[Miulang]

Hehe, good to know someone else has made the same observation (with regards to point one). :)
And my response to that is, "caveat emptor" ALWAYS. Everyone has a brain, and everyone should be able to use their ability to think critically to decide for themselves if anything that is written is the truth. Never take anything anyone (including me) as the gospel truth. Always check the facts out for yourself, if they mean something to you. Yes, be skeptical. I am. Always.;)

Miulang

[Leo Lakio]

That was a very interesting read though.Isn't it though? In the spirit of this thread, I apologize for not thanking Anapuni for posting that a while back.

[Leo Lakio]

Never take anything anyone (including me) as the gospel truth. Always check the facts out for yourself, if they mean something to you. Yes, be skeptical.In another sense, if we feel that someone's posts are worthless and should be discounted by all - what value is there in telling everyone so, repeatedly?

As I am capable of judging the value (to me) of someone's posts, I certainly don't need someone else telling me whether or not I should trust what they say. As Miulang noted, I can use my own brain, thankyouverymuch.

(And yes - I have participated in poster-bashing before. It took me a while to see how ugly that looks to those not playing that game.)

I think you thought I was addressing Lika Nui's reference to you. I was merely saying it is good to see someone else who has noticed that Hawai'i Threads is straying from what it had been in 2004-05. It has become a more general forum (not due to the contributions of any one person).

Leo, referring to the first sentence of your last post, did you tack on "though" because it was a superfluous addition at the end of my sentence? Or were you just agreeing? I think you said you were an editor in one of your previous posts which is why I raise the question?

[Pua'i Mana'o]

So what then? Bring back who? And shall we ban the newbies? Today isn't 2004-5, gents. Bring on the beef yourselves if you despair of the lack of quality meat around here.

Everyone who choses to participate on HT would do well to obligate of themselves the quality posts for which they pine.
