Three Bags grows a fifth digit!

Sports Journalists Forum – Media, Newsroom & Reporting Talk

Help Support Sports Journalists Forum:

Although I knew I was approaching 10K, I had not intended to mark the occasion. But I woke up this morning and saw this thread, I realized I stopped one short. So, why not?

The only thing I’d like to do with number 10K is try to right a wrong. A wrong I shouldn’t have to right, because I should have kept my mouth shut, or my fingers still in this case.

A couple months back, I made a comment here that I should not have made. I said a joke about 9/11 was funny. I’ll admit, I got a chuckle out of the joke, no matter how tasteless it was.

But that wasn’t the offending, foot-in-mouth gaffe. I can’t remember if it was the same thread, or a few later, but I said I was “over it,” referring to 9/11. What a terrible thing to say, regardless if it was how I really felt. How I feel about 9/11 is really complicated, but I'm certainly not "over it" in the way it came out. And it obviously offended some folks – most certainly more than I know. And for that, I’m truly sorry. Not one of those “OK, ha ha, I’m sorry” I’m sorrys. A from-the-bottom-of-my-heart apology.

I’d particularly like to publicly apologize to BYH and spnited, who seemed the most upset about it – and they let me know it, through PMs and a few verbal lashings.

I deserved it. Every bit of it. And if I deserve more, bring it on.

And now I'll go back to making worthless posts and fade into relative sj obscurity.
 
With TBF there, it makes 42 of us with 10,000-plus posts. What's the new 10,000? You know, something for the "less experienced" -- for lack of better words -- to reach.
 
25,000. Which should take you a good solid hour of posting at this rate.

Congrats three_bags_full!

By Dec. 31. That's my goal. Not counting the 14 posts I've made today, I need to average exactly 30 posts a day to reach that. Take into count the four full days I won't be in front of the computer, it's 36.67. It will get done.

C'mon, troop. Step smartly over that digital threshhold and join the rest of us loosers.

We'll get slappy to pin your looserdom wings on your epaulets. :)

And congratulations.

Welcome to our club.
Our chairman will now present you with this award...

Ah, get over it, you 10K looser.
We did.
 
You've been pardoned by S-P, TBF, take a bow.

Then take another one for No. 10,000. Welcome to the club.

There's nothing more sickening that Spnited being magnanimous. You couldn't have just told him to jump in a lake?

That's 2,000 posts for each hole and hand. ;)

I thought about her the other day.

Wonder what she's up to.

Well, I guess I know. *shivers*

A classy post. Sorry for my role in the dispute as well.

Welcome to the club of losers. And remember: I'm four times the loser you are.
