Yes I Went To Far

   BadCoposted 14 years ago

   Ok on Monday night I hold my hands up that I went maybe a bit too far with my alter-ego crap. I agree with Ryans post that I was a total asshole and I am sorry to see that Brenda has left because she is a fellow Irish person.
   
   But that is not the reason she left, before she left she had actually posted a thread asking where I was. Her and Invictus and myself had a bit of banter that got out of hand. Yeah it was my fault, I got way too nasty but I am deff not the only person on this site that does that, it's in the relgion forums everyday.
   
   I am not making excuses for myself, I was a childish prick like Ryan said, if I was the reason Brenda left then Brenda if you are reading please rejoin, you know it was only banter. And yes ok its getting old hat so from now on I shall leave the drama to others.
   
   Anyone else I have offended sorry guys, UW and Wordscribe sorry I let you down guys, sometimes I just can't help being a tosser.

            But I do like BadCo - quite a lot in fact, its just that I am not a coward and can say what I think. Im not saying that people have to like BadCo, there are probably people that dont like me. But only two genuine people have told me that they dont like me, and I happen to respect them for that. Thats why the keyboard warrior does not command any respect. In fact, BadCo saying those things behind a smokescreen is the ONLY reason that I am dissapointed in him. If BadCo had said those things, I would have been suprised, but at least I couldnt accuse him of being a coward.

   It seems you have decided to be the voice of all of HubPages in declaring it's time to take out the trash.  At least BadCo is good enough to admit when he's been wrong and try to make amends.  It was an error....period.  Maybe he went too far but I have seen a lot of people do that on the forums.  I for one would be very unhappy to see BadCo go.

   BadCo,
   I would like to think that everyone in here is an adult, and has enough sense to know that, like everything else in life, if you don't like what is being said then goto another forum.  If you are offended by something on TV, you change you channel and go on with your day.  This is no different.  All these forums aren't exactly serious.  Get a grip!  I have people fan me just to tell me that they want me to change my picture, and that I am a disgrace for having a name like Bloodnlatex.  I just ignore them and go on with my day.  Getting pissed off about is going to get me nowhere.
   
   I say that BadCo, along with all of is alter-egos, should sail on through these pages as long as they want.  I am a fan of his, and enjoy his writing.  His banter in the forums is better than most of the crap on the TV.  If you find yourself getting offended, then find a forum a bit more fitting.

   Monday night was different though my friend, I deliberately set out to insult Cole and Brenda then stood up for her. It was really bang out of order as Cole is a good kid who didn't deserve to be insulted. We are all adults indeed but there is a line and I stepped over it on Monday night.
   
   Cheers for your comment though, I appreciate it.

      It's cool to admit that you went too far, and that you shouldn't have gone where you did.  I guess I just have a thick skin, stuff like this doesn't get to me.  I've worked in shops that is just eight hours of the most brutal ball busting you could ever imagine.  So honestly, thank you for you admitting you were wrong and trying to make things right.  That says a lot about your character.

   I have to agree with bloodnlatex. There have been a few times when my blood has boiled in the forums but I post my acid response (only the once have I gotten like this due to rudeness, I detest people being rude  and talking down to someone) and never return to that thread. Some people court friction and I think you are one of these. You cannot change who you are, and would you want to? Be mindful that people on here are real and have feelings.

    A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. Are you comfortable BC? Much has been said. Words are just that. Action speaks louder than words but not nearly often enough as you have repeatedly pulled this once too many times. I am not so much as dressing down a friend as I am trying to convey a message to him.A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape. Are you willing to modify? You have had much time to think on it, so maybe one persona is enough for the forums, unless you can keep them under control and no sneaky ones like Health Tips. No, you haven't let me down, you have let yourself down, again. So move forward and stop going two steps backwards into the trap that you lay for yourself. No apology necessary friend and I do hope you still consider me one. Peace, Charlie

       Quite a few people get you, and care for you. Just be yourself, as people like you for who you really are. Its only when you try and be something else that people get frustrated. You have one of the best sense of humours on here, you actually do, and one of the kindest hearts. If you dont feel like your not being heard one day, or are in one of those moods where you just feel angry, just press the 'x' at the top.... watch some footy on youtube or have a wank, and come back the next day. I am gutted about arguing with you, think the world of ya, hope you can at least appreciate that I have said what I think and not hidden behind an avatar like the first muppet to reply to this post. I want you to stay around, and PirateGirl to stay around. Be yourself with BadCo, have a laugh with the very likeable PirateGirl, and go and make yourself some cash with people like the Doctor. Living a lie to the search engine traffic is standard, I lie on all of my Amazon sales pages. Theres nothing wrong with that, look at Mark Knowles for christs sake..... according to him he owns almost every consumer good on the planet, does he fuck, but thats where things like that can be seperated. I want BadCo to stay, and I would start a thread asking for you to return if you left; I just want him to be himself..... leaving the other characters out there in Adsense Disneyland.

          Ditto. I would definitely be the first to post in this thread of yours Ryan. I've only been in and out of the forums (and hubpages) for the day but I didn't have time to post anything here. But I read the threads you were talking about and I can't really conclude that BC is the reason Brenda left. But then again, regardless of the reason why Brenda left, I just want to say I like you, BC and Brenda and I would really hate any of you to leave for whatever (or whomever is) the reason. I hope Brenda will come back (for good this time) and that BC will stay and write more and more and more. And that's my 2 cents' worth here . Now I'm back to hubbing. Have a rant (I mean hub) to write.

I am really annoyed that Brenda left, I like her myself but when the red hits my brain I am walking disaster.

             well, that is an excellent point, Ryan, now that i consider all of this further. alter egos - wait - the MISUSE of alter egos - lends itself to unfortunate situations like this and increases a general discomfort and mistrust within the Hubpages community, which is also unfortunate. i myself didn't have all of the facts, as i couldn't read every post and some of what i did read was snipped, so i think the best thing for me to do is to steer clear of discussions like this, unless of course they are about me.

    Wow!  You guys are still at it over here huh?
    BadCo (if that is your real name LOL) you were screwing around and some feelings got hurt.  I think everyone realizes that you are sorry and didn't mean to take it as far as it went.  I sure that everyone that got hurt will bounce back and accept your appologies.  It's not the end of the world.  The sun will continue to rise and set.  You are a great asset here and we love you. Stop beating yourself up over this.

    BC, the easiest way to eat crow is while it's still warm.
    The colder it gets, the harder it is to swaller. I think you.ve swallerd enough.
    garbagetruck mouth it don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep. The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you shave his face in the mirror every morning. Now, I have said my peace.

    BadCo, as a friend I will say something you don't want to hear (or maybe you do).  You need to stop drinking, you know my history with alcoholism, it's not going to solve a damn thing for you, brother.  In fact, it makes absolutely EVERYTHING worse.  Here you are right now having consequences for overdoing it, wouldn't you say?  The problem won't go away on its own.  You need to make a decision, do I want to stay miserable or do I want to enjoy life?  It's a simple decision, a difficult road, no doubt, but I wouldn't trade my VERY worst sober day for my best day drunk.  You would never act that way without the alcohol, I've seen the undeniable correlation.  That is not you.  What are you going to do to help yourself?  Please, do yourself a favor and stay off the forums when you're under the influence.  Alter egos aside, that's where the problem lies.  What do you think?

    Right about everything EXCEPT the "fact that I can't give up drinking."  WRONG.  Yes, you can, BadCo.  You're just not ready yet.  You can break the cycle WHEN and only when you're ready.  And, I truly hope you make that decision, because I truly wish the best for you.  You are a brilliant man and don't deserve this abuse and self-sabbotage.  I won't even begin about what you're doing to your health, your weak heart, BadCo.  You can only go on for so long.  Don't mean to sound depressing, but perhaps you need a reality check.  I do care about you, ya know?

       I agree, you can give up drink. But it is a big ask, to decide to never have an alcoholic drink again. Thats a big big decision, and one that has to be made at the right time and for the right reasons.
       
       But BadCo, if you want any inspiration, look no further than former Northern Ireland international Phil Mulryne. He pissed his career up the wall at 27/28 in my local pubs..... serious drunkard he was.... and he has now dropped it all to be a Catholic Priest. Not sure what he has to do, but he certainly cant drink for a while..... Anyway, thats just one that you may be able to relate to. Paul McVeigh was his drinking partner, although I hear he is still on the booze a lot. Bleedin Irish, an Irishman not drinking is a little like a Kangeroo not hopping.
