First off, I would like to apologize to the forum members for my huge part in the shit-fest the Agalloch thread turned into. For those who might be interested, I will offer reasons, not excuses for my ridiculous behaviour. I have always been someone who deals with people in face to face situations. It was as if, I forgot I was on a internet forum. Nfu, from reading his posts in the past is without a doubt, very astute and intelligient. That was and is not the problem I had with him. It is his arrogance and abrasive comments to others and myself that lit my fire. The comment by Nfu, in one of his first posts, "relax guys, I'm not going to argue with a guy in a wheel-chair" I am paraphrasing on that was if he punched me in the gut. 20 yrs, in this chair, all the work and sacrifices I made to become independent and to free up others a responsibility towards helping me. Adversity does not always reveal character, but in my mind, it builds it. So, I really lost my temper and if he had said that to my face, I would have ripped off his head and shit down his neck. I have met many people like NFU, and they have always irritated me. Reasons not excuses. NFU, I'm sure that you are a decent human being with shortcomings and drawbacks like us all. Liquid Diamonds, I thank you for your timely advice and helping me to realize what I was doing. And my wife, who always thought I was fuckin' crazy for telling me it's not worth it. So, words started this, and now maybe words will end it. I will not bring this up again. Peace.
