My Public Apology! Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

I apologize to everyone I offended with my last post. It wasn't meant that way.

You see, in my circle of friends I hang out with in the real world almost everyone make this sort of bigot jokes. And those who don't are pretty cool receiving it, too.

I did not think 'poly would be very sensitive to this issues. I didn't think. Exactly.

No offense intended. Being used to this kind of jokes I can be rather insensitive, receiving them and dishing it out.

It was not meant to be taken on offense. I truly am sorry if I angered anyone to the point they want to kill me and all who I am associated with.

Please accept my apologies.

That's well done . I wasn't offended badly by it... there are worse things than that, and I have seen enough people making anti-Semitic remarks and actually mean it... I never believed that you posted what you did to offend anyone - it was just a post that shouldn't have been posted.

Mistakes happen, so it's fine.

Hey you got my permission to kill some of them -- they're not true friends anyway, merely leeches during good times.

As for me, there are times I feel it would be better if I just died, but I'm against suicide. Next time I feel like that I'll let you know my exact location and times I'll be there

I'm not. I criticize all groups including my own equally. Like I said in my first post, I make this sort of jokes in real life about everyone. Why I posted it here? I have no clue. Shouldn't have, in hindsight.

I'm only semi-anti Bush a bit. But then most American presidents have policies that I don't particularly like.

Nah, the mods just want to make up for leaving the thread unmolested for as long as they did.

Besides, it was honest of Iska to make this thread and apologize to the community for such a bad thread, unlike some unnamed posters we've seen in the past who've made similarly offensive threads.



Excluding, of course, "Evil, evil Finland"...that one's an Apolyton Classic (TM).

People are too damn sensative. If you can poke fun at yourself, then it's okay to poke fun at others. if people can't take a joke, screw them a sense of humor would make the world a much better place.
