AITAH?

[Doohickie]

Those of you on Reddit know what that means... for those who don't it stands for "Am I The *** Hole?"

In my case, lately.... yes I am.

I realized I'm arguing out of my butt with people that I actually respect but are on the different sides of issues.

I looked in the metaphorical mirror and examined several of my posts lately and realized that in a lot of the spats I'm getting into:

1. I really don't have a firm footing for my position, other than it's how I feel.
2. Whether I'm right or wrong doesn't matter anyway.  I just want to watch the Sabres, and hopefully watch the Sabres win.

I enjoy this forum because I *do* learn a lot about the team and gain insights I don't get elsewhere.  That has value to me.  But I am far from the most informed fan here, and it's presumptuous of me to think I know more than most of the people here; in fact the opposite is true. 

I realize that lately I've been kind of a **** in debating various views about the Sabres.  But in most cases, Points 1 and/or 2 above apply.

So I'd like to apologize for being a ****.  I'd like to apologize to the people I've disagreed with recently.  A lot of Sabrespace has been frustrated with the way the season has gone thus far, myself included, and I realize I've been taking it out on other people, and needlessly so.

Sorry.

Apparently there are people with inside info who say they know what's going on and something ominous is afoot because our GM couldn't close a local boy with a bad hip who didn't want to be "tied down" by a multi year deal.

Of course you're AITHA.... but i's the internwebs that newfangled thing. I argue out of my butt, knowing I'm not gonna slugged. Back in the way back '80's my brother and his friends would get drunk and argue whether a pea shooter really shot a a pea, which it did and seek a fight if others said it was a plant in a bar with Niagara Falls people I can remember many times when I got kicked in the face, because of them... I fought back but, boy I took a licking as those idiots (my brother and said friends) just wanted to brawl.... Here you may get a little pissed off and think, but you don't have explain the shiner the next day... and listen to your better half telling you to lose the friends... It is all perspective!!!

FWIW, I seldom, if ever, take anything personal, especially regarding interaction on a message board. Also, I don’t have to ask, I know I am the as..ole more then my share of the time.

I have no idea what you are talking about this Reddit thing.

And, for what it's worth, you are fine in my books.  That said, I don't have time to read every single post by you or anyone else.

Oddly... no.

I just looked at my posts over several threads and decided that wasn't me... or at least not the way I like to think about myself.

Maybe that's the point:  I was sober when I noticed that.

It's a section of Reddit where people post situations they find themselves in, usually something that's emotionally charged and the person has staked out a certain position.  Maybe people close to the situation tell them they're in the wrong, so they post the situation to Reddit forum in the AITAH area and people weigh in.  Typically, if someone is asking if they are the AH, they are the AH.  It's half advice column, half train wreck.

So you admit to your crimes, that's good. Still, it seems appropriate that jail time is warranted. At least a month in the slammer!

I feel like if people have to ask, they probably already know the answer.  But anyway, if you're being a dick around here lately, I haven't noticed.  But then again, I barely ever notice who I'm even responding to anymore.

I try to not go at people too hard, but with some people, I have gone back and forth really hard on some topics.  It can get heated.  What I try to do is look at everyones screename and recognize those people who interact with me....but not to remember the conversations too hard.

I'm sure I have gone back and forth with you over the last few years on some pretty heated things, but after a day or two goes by I end up liking a post or yours or you (and others) do the same to me.

I think its ok to argue on here...as long as it doesn't get TOO personal..and as long as we don't hold that grudge for too long.

What triggered this post is that I realized I was getting too personal with a couple different people on a couple different subjects.  And I thought to myself.... am I really like this?  And I realized I was getting too caught up in and frustrated with something that's supposed to be fun.

[TheAud]

You're one of my favorite posters here and I actually noticed you being an A-hole and figured something must be wrong. 

Usually a good thing to purge the soul and admit wrong-doing. Good on ya.
