Apologies? They mean nothing.
I hate apologies, they mean nothing. Just so easy to do wrong, then turn around, “I’m sorry.”
Fine for minor shit.
Step on someone’s toes? “Oh shit, sorry buddy.”
Late to lunch? “Sorry, man. I got held up.”
Forgot to pick someone up at the airport? “Dude, I feel terrible. I’m very sorry. Can I pay you back for the cab fare?”
Perfect for tiny transgressions. A brief mea culpa assuages your guilt, does the same for their anger. Helps you move on, stay friends. Good, great, grand, in moderation.
But for real trespasses, true wrong, victimizing others for your personal gain? Fuck that noise. Fuck your apology. Fuck you.
I am not a compassionate man. It’s a personal failing, one with which I, sometimes, struggle. Empathy doesn’t come easy. I try to be kind, but only because you live in the world you create. Cruel people live in a cruel world. I want my world to be happy, kind. I’ll do things I know I should, even if I don’t truly understand why.
It’s a process. Slow and sure I try to build a self that relates to the pain of others, cares for their struggles. It isn’t easy for me. If someone chips away at progress I fall into my default mode. Fury. A ravenous, all encompassing, anger.
I don’t like to second guess Derek’s editorial decisions. He knows what he’s doing, far more than I.
But this thing? Providing a platform for some narcissist piece of shit to shed his crocodile tears? Fuck that. It makes me sick to think I’d help him spin his bullshit, expose people to his dissembling, his self righteous attempt to show he’s somehow more than the sum of his actions.
It’s censorship, to be sure. But I’m okay with it.
When your every word is a lie you no longer deserve a voice.
Best for us all to just forget he exists, let him fade away into whatever hellish existence awaits.
As a bonus, I think that will hurt him the most.
As per my comment on Chas’ piece – couldn’t agree more.
from other thread. still recruiting. $ up front.
Blown your load of self-righteousness too early?
Here is DrunkenAngel’s evidence-based 7 step program for self-righteousness.
Step 1. Narcissistic confession
Step 2. Deep web Kickstarter to send Michael very very large bag of spice
Step 3. Keep the writing coming
Step 4. Fuel madness with high praise
Step 5. Send more spice
Step 6. Publish photo of Michael warming hands while huddled over garbage tin and crazy eyed
Step 7. Now climb to top of highest horse and express self-righteous indignation.
Anyone else think that Kocher has an awfully suspicious arrangement to internet access for someone who is in jail/detention awaiting trial?
Had a glorious few days away from the internets -and come back to this confusing mess. Could someone supply cliff notes.
edit, don’t bother, that cancer cunt bores the shite out of me.
I like to think I’m extremely emphatic, but toss me a sociopath and I’ll be the first to cut their wrist. Fuck shitty people.
What about “I apologize for calling you a bitch ass meth head fuck boy” and “I’m sorry your mother raised you to be a slithering snake white trash dope fiend”
.
Not like you and I Cunegonde my sexy little princess! Regular ejaculation.
When you assume, you make an ass out of u and a hero out of me. My wife and I love and adore one another. Genius!
you THINK she does.
pssst. she doesn’t.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who felt this way, I read it when it first popped up last night and thought it was shit, unnecessary and ego driven. Something along the lines of “I’m a cunt” would have gone down better than that drivel, it’s ok if you’re a cunt, people accept it and move on without you in their lives and you don’t need to offer lame justification or apologies that you clearly don’t believe yourself.
shit here I am sucked in by the headlines , I thought RP , had found a kiddie named Apologies , damn me bad!
You are generously haired, Maurice, but trolling doesn’t suit you.
my middle name is Troll , and I have a blowup doll , and like to surf the bowl , after playing with my LOL.
The problem with all the rants it keeps a self perpetuating story going. Its creating fuel for the fire and eyeballs to the site!!
Its only up to Beachgrit to cut it now.
Lets get back to burning the WSL please
I’m beginning to wonder is this whole story made up, but then I remember I don’t give a shit, it doesn’t interest me, if they are making up stories I hope they’re more interesting in the future!
Where’s the caption? What, now because you guys are in bed with Caption-Nazi WY, you can’t put one in there?
At first I have to admit I was amused by his sociopathic ramblings, because the guy knows how to string his sentences together. Just entertainment, taken with a grain of salt and forewarned. I try to stay objective.
But, I have had the luck to haven’t been deceived by someone like this. Or maybe to naive to tell.
And now, I agree with you and Chas, and the other angry commentors. If this guy wants some bullshit redemption, this can’t be his soapbox.
Between this post and yesterday’s rant (re: The Old Guard), you really do come across as a whiny little bitch.
Dude! It’s your first ever post at Beachgrit and it’s a whiny little bitch post. Too funny!
I call it like I see it. Apparent lack of respect for proven tour veterans + fail rant above = bitch status. Rory might as well get the boob job done.
Proven tour veterans? Oh my.
Indeed. Proof: “Old School” (Kelly, Mick, Parko) 15 world titles vs. “New School” (Medina, etc) 1 world title.
Can you tell me where these atrocities committed against proven tour veterans are? I will not let these actions go unpunished.
Thank you. My mind is at ease!
Nice work incorporating that solid element of misogyny into both your posts!
Sweet! An angry feminist reply. This is an unexpected boon! I’ve been called many things in my fifty odd years, but never a misogynist. Lulz
