Chappy Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 I said way too much yesterday, and I am sorry to all who read that rant post of mine.It was a very stressful day for me and I was in a bit of a mood, that post should never have been written, let alone posted.Please accept my apologies and I'll just go crawl off into a hole somewhere now.Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Chappy, I didn't read your post, but everybody is entitled to a bad day, everybody rants sometimes (God knows I do!) I know you Mod that "nuthouse" we know as G4; that has got to be stressful-- you have such a good sense of humor and the patience of a Saint over there. We all know you're a human being with human emotions, and throwing a temper tantrum with words is a LOT healthier than punching walls, kicking the dog or yelling at the kids . In my humble opinion, there's nothing to apologise for so nothing to forgive, so crawl out of that hole now--too many folks need you! Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tictoc5150 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 hiya chappy!I read the rant and I personally think it was a good one and well put...lolLike Liz said, we're all entitled to an occasional flip out due to a bad day...I seldom go looking for recognition or kudos for anything I do, but when the kudos go to someone else (totally excluding me), it would chap my @$$ too.Gee, if we could get Pete to stop by here, maybe he could be your "little helper" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
handplane Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Hey David,Read your post and took it with all the sincerity, you put into it.Blow it off and hang in there.BTW,Hope you will put more time over here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Besttechie Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Not a problem Dave, sometimes we all just need time to blow off some steam. Hope to see you back in chat soon. B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thesidekickcat Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Hello Chappy (Dave),I don't know what the rant was, but if something upset you so much that you had to express yourself about it then it was ok to do it, in my opinion. I think sometimes things need to be brought out in the open in order to set the record straight, or clear the air, or bring up an issue before it gets alot worse.I have been known to throw a temper trantrum a time or two myself... And like you just did, I end up apoligizing for it, but the part that people don't know is I also have to forgive the one(s) who set me off, and myself for blowing, otherwise it still is a open wound that will continue to fester.I want to thank you for all the good you do for everyone on G4 to help people, and to keep the place from going totally nuts over there. And I hope you will visit us here too from time to time. It is a great place to calm down, have a cup of coffee at the Besttechie cafe', and chat with friends, even go over to the arcade and beat up some aliens, or the mad cows, or whatever else is over there.God bless everyone.

bar5 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Hey Chappy:Want to add my support also. Nothing wrong with ranting. It's good to do that. At least you know you can come here and do that. (I read your post) We all have done that one time or another, human nature. Glad you blew off here as we are an understanding community. We don't fight. Hurting someone's feelings is never the way to solve anything. We are good listeners.Well now, I think I will stop rambling on.Have a good evening, and drop by more often. This is a great place.Barb Quote Link to post Share on other sites

martymas Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 hey dave when has it been a sin to tell the truth. marty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikex Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Dave Don't worry about it.No trolls and no Flamers here.Hell you had the post title correct.It was a rant if anyone were to be offended they were warned in the title. It has been about six months since I have been to the "4" and don't miss the children. I do miss those I knew in the cfh / zdnet era. I will stop at that because I feel my own rant coming, I will not hijack you thread. Hell it takes a big person to serve up an apology.mikex30M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bozodog Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Chappy, I know you from way back. Glad you got that off your chest. And start taking better care of your health. God Bless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vile_DR Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 As everyone has already said...don't worry about it. This is my main tech forum and I don't try to get caught up in every other forum, but being someone from the outside the the other forum, and getting comfortable in this one, I think you have nothing to worry about. Just as long as you remain happy with yourself, and what you do, we will all back you up and listen to anything you have to post..."Don't worry...be happy!"....i had to do it...sry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamuskrat Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 No problem Dave...haven't read your post and don't really care too, I know coming from you it had to have some validity. You are one of the the most respected persons in this (and other) forums.I know you to be sincere and honest and most importantly very conscience of others needs and willing to help....for this you are to be applauded...Keep up the good work....my friend.
