It is easy...terribly easy...to shake a man's faith in himself.
To take advantage of that, to break a man's spirit, is devil's work.
-George Bernard Shaw
Yesterday I posted a message on your board claiming that Vincent was a "pretentious, condescending prick." The reason being was that I was growing tired of his sarcasim in his reponses to his fans. To me he seemed like SO many people I grew up with in Long Island who just seemed so full of themselves. I thought I was being smart.
Today I realize that I'm not smart, instead I'm a fucking idiot. Not because of responses from this board, but because I don't even KNOW HIM. And with just a few words I did break his spirit, and calling him pretentious and condescending, well that just makes me a hypocrite.
When I said "it's obvious you don't get laid, I never see a smile on your face," I was hoping to just break the ice. When I get in arguments with friends, we say that to each other as a sign of affection (not in a homosexual way). It doesn't mean anything.
To Vincent, and everyone else on this board, I apologize for my stupid remarks. I hope you feel that this apology is sincere, not like John Rocker. I hope everyone has a fun holiday weekend.
P.S. And even if you don't forgive me, and kick me off this board, or flame me, I'm still going to see every viewaskew pic and buy every comic you all put out. Because I think you guys are a bunch of funny Motherfuckers, Cheers!
