 |
|
| Just wondering, what are the chances that you would put me back into the story of the day rotation? I know that I probably deserved to be removed because of my questionable sense of humour, but I really am sorry. I promised not to do it anymore. Is there anything else I can do to make penance? I will even stay out of the forums so there is not a chance of it happening again. I am truly repentant; and I humbly ask for another chance. I even tried to delete the posts in question. I know when I have screwed up royally, and I will admit it. I am just asking for another chance. |

What's it worth for my time?

Well, that wouldn't have put you back in, you know... it would have just made a 6-page long thread look weird by pulling out your posts.
I must admit I have a silly grin on my face as I read this and a burning comment on my tongue of the likes of "she gotta be joking", but honestly, I'd like to know what changed your mind... Why now?
do.

I realize your time is valuable. That is the reason I have not bugged you about it. If it is too much trouble, then just say no. Or did you, already? I just thought that maybe I have done my penance.

I guess I deserved that. As for removing the posts, I just thought that if I did that, someone else might not get offended. I am not looking to make anyone angry, just asking for a favor. And, sorry, it is not a "Why now" issue. I have asked a couple of times. I thought it long enough to wait and so I did. It was not a rash decision to ask. I was serious. I wanted to try once more for an answer. I asked, and I got what I asked for, an answer. And no, I am not kidding. I made a very unfunny joke and I apologized for it. I was just asking for forgiveness for it. Thank you for your time. I realize that my sense of humour is out there at times. I also know that one thing the internet does not allow for is colour in a comment, so it is hard to tell when someone is serious. So, again thank you for taking the time to take me seriously and answering my request. I do appreciate it. Seriously. |

For the record, this is the first time we have seen you asking to get your stories back into the loop. Also, Rob did add you back in right away, even before he replied above with a funny comment, which I think he was damned entitled to, given that you pleaded to be taken out after we spent time explaining to you that the whole Story of the Day thing is totally RANDOM.
Now what do we get for that? A nice post for all to see that describes us as petty gits who would take members out of features exposing their work just for the hell of it or to get back at them.
Thank you, Rous. And please, don't insult me by trying to delete your post above.
do.

It is random. I have seen stories change a couple of times a day, then one stay on for two days, and then sometimes the same story on two or three days later. There is another thread where they explain that. Check out "So not complaing, but..." You will find it there. Congratulations. It is a good feeling. Especially when someone reads it and leaves a comment. I love checking out the story of the day. Also remember that this site is, I think, probably on an Australian time zone, so it may change at what you think is an odd hour, depending on where you are. Hope this helps.

Well you might want to keep in mind one thing:
Think before you write. You write it, you own it!
Deleting posts is bad form, better own up for what you wrote and apologize later, but going back for deletion is just ... so ... dunno.
