To Derek Moran and those interested: I just got back from a late lunch, and, apparently I'm in big big trouble.
Other than UNINTENTIONALLY and ACCIDENTALLY writing "Chad" instead of “Chris” in a couple of posts above, which I have since corrected, I am at a loss as to what I may have done so egregiously wrong to be on the verge of being banned.
Although I do realize that by accidentally interchanging those two names, I may have caused some confusion for a few minutes, and for that I truly apologize, I was (attempting to) answer “Chris” in response to his dilemma, and was thinking of a comment that “Chad” had recently made which I wanted to keep in mind for a subsequent post which I wanted to make.
I would humbly ask everyone that I may have offended as a result of that confusion, to understand that there was absolutely no harm intended. It was an entirely HONEST MISTAKE.
If I have done anything else, other than occasionally adding my signature as "Bleeding Shins" - which (FYI) is as much an occasional personal reminder to me about how negligently I ran my commercial affairs prior to coming here, as it is an homage to Scott and his “liking” of my response posts to his inquiry if we are kicking ourselves for thinking wrong and valuing the wrong things, please let me know.
Here again, I meant no offence, and, I will stop the occasional use of this “signature” henceforth. Please understand that in the context of witnessing several dozen (probably many many more) posts include the moniker (no offence Pete, I like your nicknames) Fucks the Puppy etc., amongst others; I had no idea that including a nickname was such an unstable and potentially explosive act bringing one dangerously close to deserving banishment. I truly was just having some fun with it. As I said, I won’t do it again.
RE: Derek Moran In light of just how fond Scott Duncan is of Chad's critical-thinking-abilities (just ask him) i instead hand down the following ruling:
*Justice to Robert Cormier*
Here I’ll need your help as well in ending my confusion Derek. Presently, I have absolutely no idea what this reference means, nor do understand how Scott’s opinion of Chad could cause me to get banned. .
I’ll ask for forgiveness for my confusion in this regard, as I have not kept track of Scott’s opinion of “Chad's critical-thinking-abilities”, nor was I aware that I was supposed to. I’ll certainly be more focused on Scott’s opinion of “Chad's critical-thinking-abilities”, and, my very next post will be a request from me to Scott that he provide me (us) with his opinion of “Chad's critical-thinking-abilities”.
I certainly don't want to be banned Derek. Once again, I’m here to end confusion and get answers that are helpful. Your guidance and help are always appreciated! :)
Thanks for your patience while I am “growing”.
Sincerely,
Robert Cormier
