I didn't start it!
You guys started it!
No we didn't!
Yes, you did!
Did not!
Did too!
Eat rats!
You first!

Sound familiar, David?

I think I heard it first in kindergarten. Regardless: You want an
apology from me, you're gonna wait a long time. I feel it's rather the
case that I'm due an apology from you guys, but I ain't gonna get it and
I ain't gonna whine about it either. I see your buddies' posts talking
about how they're doing Web research on me and comparing me to Karl and
in other ways talking about me as if I weren't in the room. I see you
all doing Res the same kind of dirt. First day I was here, I watched
several of you abusing Karl. That's real friendly. That convinces me
you're all well-intended. Makes me want to apologize for telling a gang
of sneaking, condescending infantile asses where to go -- you bet it
does.

So it ain't gonna happen: you ain't gonna get what you want from me. I'm
not going to apologize because the fact is, I ain't sorry. I ain't going
away because I'm not intimidated by you and your gang. You can't even
manage peaceful co-existence -- you gotta keep digging this thing up
because you don't have the spiritual wherewithal to look in the mirror
and see where YOU'RE at fault here. We're all at fault. But you gotta
have an apology. I'm an adult; I can live without that.

Which one of us is a whiner? When are you gonna go and tell the teacher
and get her (him, it) to intervene on your behalf and MAKE me apologize?
That won't work either, but I been waiting days for you all to try it.

The last advice I'll offer you skulking morons is that you should just
walk away and pretend none of this ever happened. That's what I'm going
to try to do. That's all I'm willing to do. If that's not enough, then
you're stuck in this rut and need counsel.
