Hope everything is going better for you and you're having a better time both on the forums and off. :)

I get that, but when you're depressed you'll go looking for things to place the blame on.

Thanks Obama.
Kudos to you OP for admitting all of that. Takes some stones to man up and admit you're wrong, especially by starting a thread that will certainly get a lot of views.

It's never too late to apologize to the one you wronged, and even to just yourself.

Well there's a post I never thought I'd read. Props to you for posting this publicly, that earns my respect. :thumb:

Thanks Hoff. Things are absolutely fabulous for me now and with that came the realization that it's time to stop lashing out at others when I'm bummed out. I've spent the last few months mending relationships in my personal life and when I got the email today I realized that I needed to make amends here. I'm 25. I haven't been as happy as I am now since I was 16 back in 2006.

Does anyone still remember when this forum was about keyboards, novelty keycaps, and sharing DIY guides on how to mod and customize our keyboards?
What are keyboards
Is that where all these robots are supposed to sleep
Post by: bcredbottle on Wed, 04 November 2015, 22:09:58
The board is ostensibly about keyboards but IMO it's really just a safe environment for selfish manchilds (menchildren?) to learn basic life skills: emotional maturity,1 budgeting, etc. Results are mixed but often uplifting.
1 First-come first-serve artisan sales, for example, are the ultimate test.

GH is a pretty forgiving place if you're humble and give other users the benefit of the doubt.

And we will also call you out on your **** when you are being a douchebag.
I can give you two examples:
1. Pacifist. Dude screws up, comes back and breaks rules he was specifically warned about. Gets permabanned. Keeps attempting to come back and start over, but by creating new accounts to hide his identity. BAD PACIFIST.
2. Rarar. This guy acts the fool and is generally an ass. Gets called out and muted. Takes a break from GH. Comes back to say hi, mostly mild reactions. Comes back again, welcomed back by forum members. GOOD RARAR.
Good on ya, OP, for growing up and admitting your fault.

Ok bro, yours (and everyone else's) opinion matters. But please please do not make fun of "retarded" people in the course of sharing your opinion. I'm not trying to start drama, just a humble request to be a tiny bit more sensitive about that. Thank you.

I entered the last few sales out of spite knowing that I wouldn't win. This morning I woke up to an email from Bro saying I'd won. Instead of being elated, I felt ashamed. I felt ashamed for all the times I talked s***. I was sick with myself for getting my Jimmies so rustled that I attacked a guy online over nothing. I spent months alienating myself from 2 communities that I enjoy very much over nothing. If there was a blacklist, I would have (rightfully) been on it months ago.
A good first step. If you truly wish to clear your conscience, I humbly suggest that you either: 1) Message Bro and tell him to award your cap to someone else or 2) Pay and receive your cap, then immediately turn around and sell it for your cost to someone else.
After that, I don't think you should be banned from future sales, but in this instance, actions need to speak louder than words.

But why is demik allowed to post his tasteless post and only keeps getting hand smacks.

Pacifist and demik broke different rules in different fashions, so not really a direct comparison. I cannot comment on rarar since that was before my time as a mod.
Might not be the best spot, but meh. If you want to chat more about it, feel free to drop me a PM. :thumb:

Honestly, because of my many years browsing and being accustomed to many other forums and image boards, I was expecting a lashing against OP of sorts. I'm surprised by the overflow of positive comments, although I really shouldn't be.

You almost never see people willing to admit their mistakes publicly and apologise like this with no outside pressure to do it. Even if it was triggered by winning a bro, many people wouldn't come out and admit it like this I think.
