Public Apology to bacpac

“I apologize to bacpac for all the nasty comments I made about mulletts, arkansas, cars on blocks and the mean thing I said about Arkansas high schools this past week. I haven't been myself lately, and I'm sorry dude.”

“Now why didja want to go and do a thing like that fer??? I'm sorry too, for NOT making nasty comments about Arkansas, mullets, and "good 'ol boys."”

“Sorry flyguy, I had an experience yesterday that has changed my life and my view towards people of different backgrounds. At 11:59 p.m. I saw an infomercial about an Elvis' Greatest Hits Compilation. The king spoke to me, and told me to stop my hillbilly hatin' ways.”

“My goal in life is to become a hillbilly.”

“Follow your dream my son.”

“Apologize to Arkansans, to hillbillies, to anybody you like...but don't ever apologize to bacpac. The kind of person who would make a vicious personal attack on the daughter of another TT poster, and then lack the common decency to apologize for it, doesn't deserve any kind of courtesy or consideration.”

“Yes, TTers have very VERY good memories. Amen, Brother Tehipite!!!”

“Wow Tehipite, you're awful intolerant for a liberal. The hipocrecy is right on the money however. Teehee!”

“Sadly, I am unable to fully follow a fiercely retrograde hillbilly lifestyle.
However, I do the best I can.”

“i killed too many brain cells on TT. i forgot what tehipite is reefering to.”

“What the hell is it with all these apologies? Whatta buncha wimps.”

“Lets NOT dredge it up again. Suffice it to say it was ugly. Really ugly. True colors were shown (and they weren't Benetton)”

“bacpac's a BIG boy, I don't think he's too badly wounded, whatever you say.

But if I was that ugly, I'd shave my ass and walk backwards.”

“Well, maybe I shouldn't have apolgized, but I was under the influence of beef jerky and pork rinds for the past 3 weeks, and it greatly impaired my judgement on some things.”

“bacpac talked negatively about someones daughter here. I missed that. I'd ask for details, but I know you probably don't want to bring up a nasty, unwarranted comment again.

Well, I will never let bacpac talk to me on ICQ again!”

“that'll teach him”

“tehipite, why must you always take my comments out of context? Where is your supporting documentation?

You are off my Christmas Card list as well.”

“bacpac, is that the card with Santa on the cover, ripping open all the little kids gifts as they cry?”

“tehipite is just upset cause I sent him an email from mel@thebackpacker.com and he got all mushy with me.

What a horn dog.”

“bacpac, is there no end to your badness?”

“I was misunderstood as an adult.”

“Tehipite...

What a Gent you are.

You have a special place in the wilderness, and in my heart.
I will now stop them mushy stuff.

BP...
Back to business!”

“Tom, you ARE that ugly. So shave away and walk backwards!”

“Mel, That mushy stuff is his brain.”

“"I like to sleep late in the morning,
I don't like to wear no shoes,
I make love to the women while I'm livin'
Get drunk on a bottle of booze".
-D. Bromberg

Perty much sums it up, don't it?”

“Mel, thanks! That means a lot coming from you. :-)

Nigal: Is it intolerant to believe, as I do, that even in a forum as fractious as this one there is some minimal standard of courtesy and common decency to which we should all be held? Is it intolerant to argue that regardless of one's personal beliefs, regardless of the nature of the debate, it is unacceptable to insult family members of fellow TTers? Is it intolerant to hold someone accountable when he crosses the line?

Or maybe you really meant unforgiving. To that, I'll plead guilty--but remember that the flip side of forgiveness is repentance, and bacpac hasn't shown a bit of that.

bacpac: your terribly witty ripostes cut me to the quick. I feel as if I've just been called short by Billy Barty.”

“You obviously got a thing for me tehipite. Get a life.”
