I discovered a weakness of mine, with thanks to Project Avalon

[Church]

Thanks everyone! I really do feel the love here. I'm sorry I made myself known in the way I did, by lowering myself to the level I did in that other thread. I know that most of you know I meant well, but it doesn't change the fact that I allowed myself to get sucked down to a low level, and that is not who I am. I hereby pick myself up, dust myself off, and begin a new day.

Raulduke, I want to take the opportunity to say that I am well aware that the thread started off a different way than it ended. You most certainly started that thread with the polar opposite intention than it ended up manifesting. In fact, before the anti-gay sentiment came up, and before I had made myself known in that thread, I was showing your thread to all of my friends and certain family members that I knew would appreciate all those photos. I really love the mindset of the people who were protesting the protesters in a very civil, non-violent, and FUNNY manner.

So yeah, the thread devolved from its original purpose. The person/people who initiated that devolution know exactly what they did. And I know, now, how I helped the derailment. And for that, I am sorry, and have learned a valuable lesson about myself, and other people I still share the planet with.

NOW!! With all that being said, I want to personally thank everyone for welcoming me back and giving me another opportunity to introduce myself and start from scratch. I'm a nice guy, I promise. I mean well.
