Dad always told me "You live and learn, or you don't live long."
Learning late is better than never learning at all.

| Post subject: | So, I was an asshole |
Reading through these old threads, I am thoroughly embarrassed by some of the positions I've taken and some of the arguments I've made. So, I wanted to take a moment and just say: I apologize. I was a dipshit, raised by bigots, and completely ignorant to a number of things that would have, or should have, made me view the world differently. I advocated for things that now make me angry to hear from someone else. I said things that were based in an ideology that I did not understand. I made an awful lot of really stupid comments about things regarding which I was entirely uneducated and inexperienced. I said these things here, and in my "real" life, and I am genuinely ashamed by many of them. I think I've grown more empathetic and, hopefully, wise in the past ten years. It's been a slow process, and I still stumble sometimes. But I'm working on it. Anyways, I doubt anyone will see this. The board has been truly dead for some time. But I felt like I needed to let you all know that I'd grown up. And that I am sorry for the dumb shit I've said over the years here. |

NOT OK!!! Kidding bro. We've all said some shit we regret over the years. I'm pretty sure I could write a book from everything I wish I could take back, hehe. Hope you are doing well. Getting old sucks by the way! Jason |

I'll tell ya, the conversations and arguments here really helped open my eyes to some of the things I didn't really understand or have experience with. This board really helped me grow as an adult. And I doubt we'd argue all that much now. I'm pretty far left at this point, especially for a white guy living in Arizona. |

I think part of the reason I check back in with this community very infrequently is that I don't like the version of me you'd all remember. I was a moron, and it's embarrassing talking to people who remember that.
