Well, you're not likely to get that, but you should be getting a much more thoughtful dclary.

Specifically, the dclary messageboard poster emulator has been tweaked to account for human feelings and to not post just to push buttons, to evaluate whether posts can be read in severely negative ways (thus leading to mass offense), and to remember that this is a community, where we should be building on our strengths, and leaning on each other in times of trouble -- not setting people up for a fall, or being rude and divisive.

My sincerest apologies to all I've rubbed the wrong way in the last week.

My even deeper apologies to those who thought I was gone forever. :D

:Hug2:
To quote a true American hero: "During the fightban, I've seen a lot of changing, in the way I feel about you, and the way you feel about me. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if I can change, and you can change, everyone can change."
:Hug2:




And on a personal aside... (since I had no access to my PMs during the dark window) Jenna... was the final straw the "snarky" comment? Or had I already sealed my fate before that?

Fate was already sealed-- just the timing hadn't been decided. I was leaning toward 7 days, then got your PM and reduced it to 3, if that tells you anything. ;)

Appreciate the apology, and am looking forward to meeting the more thoughtful dclary.

Dave, man, I'm glad you're back. Nearly died without you. ;)

I don't know what to say about your announcement. I had a lump in my throat. And this time, it wasn't my lunch.

We did miss the funny, light-hearted Dclary. Welcome back, Dave.

Now lets see your creative side.

I think Dave should have to write a thousand word essay about what he did on his (uhem) vacation from AW.

Oh, and Dave? Make it interesting :D

So lie. I'm not terribly picky. You're a writer, aren't you? ;)

It takes a lot of guts to make even the simplest of apologies, and I for one applaud the effort you've made here...BURN HIM! HE'S A WITCH! QUICK, BEFORE HE KNOWS WHAT'S HAPPENING TO HIM!

Ladies, let's form a line on the left. Fellas, you take the right, Dave is going to rub us all the *right* way...one at a time.

(After he finishes his interesting-yet-informative-and-completely-fabricated essay)

But you know he's gonna expect us to give him rep points in exchange.

I guess it depends on whether or not he "rubs" the right way.

Bad Puppy! Drop the shoe!
