Time for Some Self-Awareness … and Apologies
Much of my life has been about confrontation … as a rebellious child, angry adolescent, brush-back baseball pitcher, questioner of "The Establlshment," Organized Labor defender-of-the-worker, Collective Bargaining contract enforcer … and almost compulsive political junky.
And sometimes, it takes a while and a few UNWARRANTED CONFRONTATIONS to know … it's time for some self-awareness and apologies.
In the last two days, in "discussions" here on The Newstalkers, I found it necessary and proper to apologize to members. After apologizing, I felt good about doing the right thing … and a bit ashamed that I made the apologies necessary in the first place.
So, two things; first, if there are members to whom I have not apologized, but should have, I offer those apologies and express my regrets, and second, I will stay away from the front page politics, at least for a day or two, as a self-imposed "cooling off" period.
I'll be in the photography areas.
Peace.

My bad …
We all have our moments Mac. No worries Buddy.
You're OK by me. I think you are a decent person.
Brother, you have nothing to apologize for.....
no problem my friend...
personally, I don't take anything said online serious enough to warrant apologies.
so between you and me? do not worry about offending me. it's not even possible.
just have fun
Sometimes,
to put the proper emphasis on a point, one might find "crucial", some "PASSION" is required, to show the EMPHASIS some subjects, most certainly deserve and require, and unless "Aggressive Font" is that which you might be apologizing for, I believe you should save your typing.
I've been falsely accused of physically threatening a woman who was once my everything, and it was an ABSOLUTE fabrication on her part.
I was forced to eat my total repulsion, that was and would still be my first and natural instinctive gut reaction, only repositioned as when the weight of what I was fighting for, was weighed against my pathetic pride.
An innocent newborn, did and for sure, sure have some influence on what is TRULY important in ones life, and, it did in my situation
Now, ironically enuff, asz ive been defending so many who've possibly had suppressed feelings as of late, and with consistency over my comment history, because everyone needs to be heard, then the truth determined in he Said she Said's. I was quite upset to learn of a major discrepancy into how the story of how a friendship ended recently between one who I truly considered a friend.
The current chronology culmination of a quite confused nation that causes grand frustration asz I was made aware this week, that ive again been falsely accused of something from one I was attempting to help, one I was actually in harms way for, willing to be fighting for, in damn dangerous situations, thought I'd make a swell bus wheel brake, and
it stung
Bad
.
but i'd do it again in a heartbeat
,
but I can see how some just find it easier to lump and stereotype so many into false accusers, because i'll swear under oath, it DOES happen, but that DOESN'T mean each case must not be based on its own merits,
because each case DOES need decided individually
.
N THAT'S ASZ FAR AS ILL ELABORATE UPON THAT CURRENTLY,
but,
I will one day find someone to put my story into words, cause it reads like a really weird fiction hallucination, but it's True, and when I'm able to share,
ill be called a liar, something I'm not.
.
So all of you claiming I'm in the tank for so many lying women, as I'm experiencing as much, kindly F off till you've Velcro'd up my footwear,
and walked a mile
.
And Mac,
F Ever there was a time for "passion" to the point of having to APOLOGIZE,
I'm not FEELING IT !
.never been a time in my adult life where I thought the things Peoples REALLY & TRULY BELIEVE IN
Absolutely Need to be Expressed !
Not completely disrespectfully, or if to a point you feel was over the top, but NOW
is the time for voices of reason , SUCH AS YOURS,
Truly DO, NEED to be HEARD
,
because there are so many false ones, it has become Dangerous, imho, to tone it down or bite ones tongue.
Strange Times indeed
Your history sounds exactly like mine. You owe me no apologies. Fuck all ignorant fascists.
You're a good egg, Mac. It takes a big man to make a public apology. You have one long shadow.
Guys from Philly are like that, lol.
Oh, how could I forget...
It wouldn't be so bad if you just hadn't SHOUTED so much.
Some things are worth Shouting about Buzz
Granted. CAPS are sufficient. UNDERLINING is sufficient. BOLDING the Caps is sufficient. Even bolding 14 point is sufficient - but using and bolding 18, 24 or 36 point text is unnecessarily hysterical.
unless your an old school
who doesn't give a fig about some imaginary "internet etiquette" rules about fonts, type face and colors?
"Hysterical" is in the eye of the beholder, don't you think?
Well, I'm a retired university Newspaper Editor-in-Chief, retired Editor of a Folk Music Magazine, Editorial Writer, B.A. major in English Lit and I think that using 36 point text is unnecessarily hysterical.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with using different size text, different style text and different color text. Nothing.
Who wants to look at the same size type all the time?
I never said you had to limit yourself to one font one size - you either didn't read or understand my comment about using size and bold.
Anyway, a very famous line is "Size doesn't matter." Technique is what counts.
I think you're one of the best people on here, Amac.
Hey.....Don't apologize for speaking how you "Feel and think". Holding back and constantly trying to be PC will raise your blood pressure and give you ulcers.
Stay "Healthy" my Friend.
Not being excruciatingly PC is a dangerous activity here on NT.
A little clarification
I had a completely falsified PFA against me 20 years ago, and just recently I was accused of something Absolutely untrue, by one I was attempting to help
that. Stung
i had read my post, and it sounded a tad wrong
n
of course , I often am
but
DEFINITELY NOT
in either of these instances
Does your real name happen to be Kavanaugh?

i just explained how I felt Krafty KrazybKav was phony and guilty
hes an unethical individual
he is a product of a committee that selects only hard right conservative anchors around the neck of society
picked for his proliferation affirmation that is aimed at the reveesal
he wasn’t on the radar until he stated sitting POTUS’s should wait to have any charges brought against them , after, he was Kenneth Stars little it bull humping
