A New Era For Citi Thank You Points

[AsherO]

Apologies burdened with excuses are simply excuses masquerading as apologies.

+1 well said, and excuses don't warrant forgiveness.

you should be midakdek on yourself kechut hasaarah

I can't see why. Meshugener is neither g-d, nor a Tzaddik

Wrong thread.

LOL

There is more to this then you will ever know. I could care less about any blogs or forums. What I do care about is if someone gave him this info in confidence and he then violated that same confidence.

Why don't I believe you?

[AJK]

I stand by what I said. I firmly believe that if s/o can't apologize to s/o who he embarrassed publicly, and hurt his reputation which is his livelihood, he's seriously lacking in interpersonal skills, and can't have a stable marriage. I firmly stand by my above comment. Also, Meshugener's whole "forgive me or throw me out" attitude contributed to that assessment. Also, his transalation of Dan's pissed offness as hate contributed to the assessment. Also, his leaving and returning to the forums contributed too. Am I a Dr.? - no, I'm writing my feelings. Meshugener may have a great marriage, who knows. I'm pointing out that his whole approach to this whole situation, is unhealthy, and immature, and he better fix it up, because one can't go thru life with such flaws. P.S. I'm not trying to rip Meshugener, I have nothing against him, I actually like him - as can be shown by the fact that originally I was lobbying for Dan to forgive him, I am giving him harsh rebuke, because I believe when one person points out bluntly to another his flaws, the other person can grow from it. I know I've grown from harsh blunt rebuke.

You're right, all people who may have at one time or another "embarrassed" someone "publicly" which, as a result, "hurts" that someone's "reputation" can undoubtedly never have a "stable marriage" and "can't go thru life with such flaws."

Wow. Does your head fit through the door?

So you're giving him harsh rebuke because "he can grow from it?" Well, sheesh, why didnt you just say so? Go right and continue commenting on his marriage prospects and other things of which you likely have zero knowledge.

You continue standing by your statement -- just like the Captain of the Titanic stood by his ship.

Why don't I believe you?

...because you don't know me very well? 

[JEWDA]

@Lamdan you sound worse than those guys who post on TLS.

Or maybe better than you admit

Dude, you're famous for arguing for the sake of arguing, and not giving in an inch, I won't waste my time with you.

A typical response from someone who realizes he's wrong.

But, don't worry, dude, no need to apologize to me. That apology should be directed to the person whom you wrongfully insulted.

No, a typical response from someone who outlined 4 points, and was quoted as only making 1 point, and that point was twisted into a pretzel. But, why am I wasting my time with you. BTW, this is not the 1st time you've said "A typical response from someone who realizes he's wrong", all the many times you were called out for being an akshan nifla on DDF, you've responded with that line. Dude, you get called out for being an akshan very often, get a new line.

[AJK]

More harsh rebuke from DDF's resident Lamdan a/k/a Rabbi Dr. Phil!

Whatever you need to justify insulting a guy's marriage. NBD.

Best part? You probably have no trouble sleeping.

Lol. If it didn't say NJ under your name he prob wouldn't have said that.

I'd rather be DDF's resident Lamdan a/k/a Rabbi Dr. Phil!, than DDF's resident akshan.

I, for one, would like to see this whole incident be put to bed. Dan, you have done many great things to help all of us at DDF. Your are extremely trusted and i don't think that this one incident damaged your sterling reputation. Yes, you may have had egg on your face but just wash it off and go on. This happened a long while ago and I don't understand why it has to be rehashed. I realize that egos were bruised but we are coming to the time of year where bygones need to be just that. Please forgive Meshugenner and close the book on this incident.

I am trying to complete step 1 of the 12 step program, give me a break. Maybe mesh and I can get a 2 for 1 discount.

Hey what about me, count me in.

[meshugener]

As to the marriage topic, I'm speaking to you, Lamdan, maybe you have a point that I should have a rough marriage, but I did preemptive remedy and married a meshugenerta, so we manage just fine and have a crazy happy marriage, may Hashem help us further.

Baruch Hashem. May it be a binyan adei ad! Whew!, I thought I was gonna have to sit with a meshugener in the waiting room.
@AJK, now that we see meshugener didn't take my comments to heart, can I sleep tonight? 

[meshugener]

No. You were lucky this time you only approached a meshugener, but how in the future would you learn not to act in such manner? This is, for a lot of people, one of the most tuchy subjects to rip into.
You might need to go to a behavior specialist, I don't think a DDF resident is adequate.

+1, besides that even a meshugener, has enough sense to act as if he was not hurt.
