like Matt! (*love you Matt, really*) :)
Love you, too! I actually do not mind, at all, being used as an example for this kind of case. I really make an excellent one. Sibyl, when I first arrived at Tamson House, in 1999, I really, really fucked up. In my opinion, I was way more rude and obnoxious than anything you've ever said here. But I took the smack down I got really seriously. I sat back quietly for a few weeks. I learned how to interact with people here on a much more constructive level. I asked for forgiveness. I received it. I fucked up a few other times, but not as badly. Asked foregivness. Received it. And here I still am, going on thirteen years later, still talking to these very forgiving and possibly tragically forgetful folks. ;-) If i did it, you totally can, too.
