Remorse
DITL Community,
I am sorry for being a dumb, racist, troll who does not know when to shut up. I would like to thank the moderators for not banning me, and the community for beating intelligence into my skull while publicly combating the espousal of rancorous stupidity and evil ideology. I repudiate my former odious opinions and ask for forgiveness for having expressed them. I also regret having lowered and sullied the quality of the discussion of the community when I made my inflammatory remarks some time ago.

Well, then - let's move on from here. Grudges are easily dispensed with once they are proven obsolete.

Re: Remorse
It takes a lot of principle and character to say something like that. Well done you.
Give a man a fire, and you keep him warm for a day. SET a man on fire, and you will keep him warm for the rest of his life...

Re: Remorse
I must say I deeply appreciate this, and it does take a good heart to come back to somewhere that insulted you and tore you a new one just to apologize a year later. I hope your doing well, and hope that you do come back as far as I remember you were pretty decent at debating, so it may be very interesting to have you around.
Re: Remorse
Accepted and Welcome back! It takes guts to look some one in the eye and say what you said (ok granted this is a forum just work with me).Tholian_Avenger wrote:DITL Community,

Cojones indeed. Welcome back.
Re: Remorse
Ok I do have one question (and you don't have to answer it TA). What brought on the change? (no trying to be a dick just genune curiosity.)

Re: Remorse
I am sincerely curious too. I'm sure there was more too it than the forum at large biting your head off. If you don't mind sharing, I think there is something that we could learn here.
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.

Re: Remorse
Some of the many things that changed my opinions;
Hate eats your soul and I realized mine had become empty so I did volunteer work that brought me into routine contact with every demographic group imaginable. Familiarity bred enlightenment and buried contempt.
Sometime later my delusions were washed away when I was able to hear some of the things which I had once said.
Words have power, a power to help and to hurt people. That was what I learned.

Re: Remorse
In most cases I have learned that ingorance (note not saying your stupid or anything along those lines) usually breeds hate to some extent. However it takes a strong person to look at himself and honestly and truely see what he has become and then change it. Its a lesson that unfortunaly many people fail to learn or even figure out they have to learn it.Tholian_Avenger wrote:Some of the many things that changed my opinions;

Re: Remorse
All of us have a point - although some may not yet have reached it - at which we look back and are dumbfounded at some of the things we held as universal truths. The lucky a/o strong among us are able to alter our paradigms rather than spend more effort in defending them, even when proved false. Good on you for being part of the former group.Tholian_Avenger wrote:Some of the many things that changed my opinions;
