My Apology to Free Republic...

Me | April 9, 2012 | RetSignman

[RetSignman]

My posts since 2004 have been filled with MY vision, MY Prophecies, MY Truth and MY vanities. I had lost sight of the only truth that ever truly matters.

My posts were never meant to discredit Free Republic but after standing back , I can see where that I may just have done that, especially with some of my latest 'opinions'. It is now obvious to me how easy my opinions can be used by outside sources as...just another example of hate rhetoric from this site.

[RetSignman]

My apology extends especially to Jim, the founder of this site, and my friends who I have forwarded my views. Most of my opinions and views were bourn out my deep concern for our country and it's future.

This is not to excuse my past overzealous opinions but a realization that I have led myself to into believing that my opinions may be a driving force to influence thought of others. Any reasonable person would have no problem looking at my views as the purest form of arrogance and egocentricy.

I know apologies can be viewed with doubt, suspicion and self serving but I vow to you and my friends, in the future, I will carefully consider my motives before making them public.

( sorry, the repetitive 'I's' and 'Me's' are unavoidable)

Ret.

( changing my tag line to: When you blindly follow mortals truth, you turn your back on His truth.

Don’t apologize for espousing what you believe in.

[databoss]

ZzzzzzzzZzzzzzzzzz....dude you think way too much about yourself and the importance of this site...get a grip...

[Mr. Lucky]

A vanity post in which you apologize for being self centered?

[Lazamataz]

I've been tryin' to tell ya.

Just post exactly like me and you should be okay.

My posts are FILLED with hateful rhetoric against the damnable Slokes, and Yads, and Pirgs, and don't even GET me started about those smelly, lazy Lokas.

[submarinerswife]

Why do you think your “over zealous opinions” have that much influence over other people?

I'm going to post a vanity post in which I complain about self-centered vanity posts because they inconvenience me.

[humblegunner]

So were you quoted somewhere in a negative light?
Where? How? By whom? Got linkage?

LOLOLOL!

[humblegunner]

And the way they dress and allow their kids to act in public. Disgusting.

[BipolarBob]

Thanks for posting. This changes everything for me. I now have a reason to keep on living.

[Kickass Conservative]

So, Bill O’Reilly found those old negatives huh?

Just funnin ya...

(I just realized that there are people who have no idea what I mean by “negatives") I'm old...

[treetopsandroofs]

For whatever it’s worth...

I scanned through three pages of your contributions back to mid-2010, and found nothing offensive, no condescending holier-than-thou posts, no “You stupid ‘birther’” or “Zimmerman is GUILTY” posts.

As far as self-serving is concerned, I haven’t seen a blog-pimp post of yours, either, and that’s about the height of it here.

Perhaps you’re growing away or maturing in some way, but seriously, in the past couple of years at least, I’m surprised that anyone would find anything you’ve posted to be objectionable.

My .02.

[freedomlover]

You need to cut the hateful rhetoric and just STFU!
;0

[Star Traveler]

This looks like a very interesting post - EXCEPT - for the fact that I have no earthly idea what you’re talking about ... LOL ...

[X-spurt]

Looks like he has posted numerous. Not just today per inference.

“I’m surprised that anyone would find anything you’ve posted to be objectionable.”

Until now. Sheesh!

[Guenevere]

I don't think you need to apologize for your posts...the ones I read were respectfully submitted.

You have deep convictions.

[Gasshog]

Maybe its pre apologetics for some future offensive post. Like flame insurance?

[Vendome]

You rarely have anything interesting to say anyway.... /S

[brivette]

I believe Laz is an institution here at FR.

[Vendome]

Friggin Bigot. I knew there was something not right about and now you admit it....

/S

>>I’m going to post a vanity post in which I complain about self-centered vanity posts because they inconvenience me<<

Let’s see here. Someone decides to go on the forum that has by and large the biggest group of fast and intelligent smart alecs anywhere and then apologize for being self-centered with the highest “me/my” ratio since barry the zero’s last speech. This is a good idea? ;)

[humblegunner]

Check his blog

I will. I love blogs.

[freedumb2003]

>>I believe Laz is an institution here at FR.<<

In that if it even resembles a female, Laz will hit it!

[null and void]

Backwards.

We are Laz's mental institution...

[HereInTheHeartland]

“I will. I love blogs. “

I was just having a little fun with you; knowing your feelings on blogs!
I have no idea if he has one!

[Ditter]

As long as you keep it short (under 10 lines) I don’t care what you say.

[shibumi]

"So were you quoted somewhere in a negative light?"

Reading for meaning there, Gunner!

He said it's obvious to him how his opinions ~can~ be used, not that they ~have~ been used.

So he's either begging for someone to use his opinions, disappointed that no one has used his opinions, or he's setting us up for Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story" which will be the subject of yet another vanity post.

As for me, my looney bun is fine, Benny Lava.

[Eaker]

LOL!

[Lazamataz]

Self-Centered Vanity Posts Inconvenience Me (Vanity)

[Fast Moving Angel]

the forum that has by and large the biggest group of fast and intelligent smart alecs anywhere

Truer words never spoken ... this could be FR's motto!

[Jack Hydrazine]

What stuned your bieber to cause your enlightenment?

[Gasshog]

Can someone guide me to a thread that is not about Laz?

[Lazamataz]

Can someone guide me to a thread that is not about Laz?

No, I'm afraid not.

A MENTAL institution, maybe ;)

Try the Religion Forum/Charismatic Caucus.

Gasshog: Can someone guide me to a thread that is not about Laz?

Lazamataz: No, I’m afraid not.

onyx: Yes, the Religion Forum, although prayers aplenty might be offered for him there.....LOL.

[Ratman83]

That will leave a mark.
