Was the apology I offered just completely ignored or are you two just looking to tell others how to be?
I realize I haven't introduced myself, but I am not one who needs announcement, lol. I don't need people to say I'm welcome because I've gathered it is understood among U2 fans. That is the way we are; we just jump right in. Half of us feel like we've known the other almost upon immediate introduction. It is what makes U2 fans so awesome. I also feel no need for added attention to myself. I speak when I have something to say and most of the time it is a sarcastic & comedic contribution to the conversation. More importantly, I've paid my dues to subscribe. I'm free to post, read, ignore as I see fit as it was my money that has allowed my membership here...those whopping $12! Christ...
Secondly, I have already offered my level of sarcasm and humor as it exists, truthfully. I don't believe in that dumb ass "best behavior" disorder where you pretend to be something you are not. I believe in just being you...dysfunction and all from the onset. So many people pretend to be what they aren't which sucks. It's when they finally show who they are that real foundations are made. Are you suggesting that I should 'act' one way until I've met a designated quota of posts and THEN I can 'poke' fun at others, hcbiggs2002? Far be it from me to sound anything but honest, but that is what I am. I don't fake it or make excuses for it. It's odd to have someone say 'tsk tsk tsk' for being myself, inclusive with an apology at having offended someone because you fail to see you've basically asked me to 'fake it' until I've formally introduced myself or posted enough...lol. And you tsk at me? I offended Jamila and I apologized. IGNORED. But, you two wave your finger at me for being me. That's fine. Lol...this is the Internet.
I love the posters here. They have a great wit, a great tolerance, and I enjoy reading the expressions of the posters. Basically, ALL of them are intelligent and unafraid to be honest. It is refreshing in a world where the tempter tantrums take the podium and the balanced are too exhausted to even speak on the matter; to read people being themselves here at this forum remind me the world isn't really the big cry baby is appears to be. So please, consider this my 'formal' introduction. However, I am not here to please. I'm just here because I am a fan of U2 and like meeting other fans. *Gasps* Holy hell! I was myself...regardless. I hope this satisfies the two of you.
As I said.... my apology was ignored, Jamila. You really are special for all this 'love and peace' talk yet poke right back.
Emoticon my ass...
