Emtronics

If you’ve read Randall’s site today, you’ve figured out that we had a bit of a blow-up today. I regret showing my ass in public.

I just left the following comment on his site, which I am repeating here as an apology.

In retrospect, I had no business calling you an idiot. I was out of line in that regard. I was angry with the suggestion was was filtering your comments deliberately, and with your failure to recognize I was going out of my way to rescue your comments and that you were not the only person this was happening to.

Randall is NOT blocked here at Peoria Pundit. Her can post whenever he wants, I just suggest he avoid the username “Emtronics” as it seems to trigger my spam filter.

Also, this applies to everyone, PLEASE to not use the comments section to complain about site issues. Use email or the contact page.

    Billy, you have to make a distinction between the character of the individual and their actions. You shouldn’t say Emtonics is an idiot (character judgment), but rather that he’s acting like an idiot (focuses on his actions) in that particular instance. Of course, I don’t know if he was acting like an idiot or not since I didn’t see any of the comments to which you refer. Nevertheless, it was nice of you to publicly apologize.

    Billy, I need to cool off also. I vent on my site and yesterday I vented. Maybe we can agree to move on and I’ll admit I can be pushy and rude at times but I don’t need CJ analyzing me. From my point of view, it looked to me like comments here were being picked and choose. (your right to do so)

    I need to reflect on this for awhile as I have to rush off to work….

    “I regret showing my ass in public.” …. not as much as we regretted seeing it!

    Emtronics: To repeat what I just said at YOUR site, I’m going to dump Akismet if I cannot get it fixed. This problem has been festering for too long.

    PeoProud: Hey, buddy. I’ll have you know the ladies have lined up for a chance to see my butt.

    Emtronics — My comment was meant totally tongue-in-cheek. No analyzing going on at all. :-)

    CJ: I was trying to be tongue in cheek also. I guess I failed at that too.

    Billy: I think PP’s comment was directed at me.

    I feel very uncomfortable reading in the comment section of Bill “baring his ass” and “tongue in cheek” humor

    Gordon: One more”crack” like that and I’ll post pictures.

    That would definately not be “eye candy” :)

    Nice work with you and Randall. There is room for all of us in the blogosphere.

    Come on Billy, post the pictures. That’ll liven this group up. It’s been way too quiet around here. Oh, I agree…. tongue in cheek is a poor choice of words considering the topic. I’ll butt out now.
