I just have after a comment by Novo and am severely embarrassed, I think I was a knob, goodness knows what anyone else must have thought. Please tell me I am not alone and mellowing over time endears forgiveness?

No but I've read over plenty of other people's posts and thought they were knobs!

I can't be doing with arguing and putting people down but some people on here go for the jugular regularly to stir the pot

I hear you and think I have been guilty of that too. Looking at this site after a long hiatus I think, good grief why did I say that?!

I regret that I have occasionally been would up by the odd knob.

These sorts of threads are annoying because you have to wade through the OP's past posts.

I don't think i'll read all of my own ones but yes there's probably more than half that are total bullcrap and half of those, embarrassing bullcrap.

Don't regret that past and all that shiz

Not embarrassed per se, but I have occasionally read through past threads and inadvertently read a post thinking "that's a bit much" and looked to see who said it...and it was me!

Should have used better words in previous posts yes or rephrased it absolutely but embarrassed No.
Many subjects will bring out the best and worst in posters in which some threads can get a bit testy.
We all have opinions be they right or wrong. Some posters may attract attention because of the nature of their work and suffer the odd not so nice comment.
Its the personal attack aimed at the individual that causes the most concern when not justified.
Im all for a bit of banter and light hearted ribbing be it about a post I made or indeed about my job and can dish it right back if need be.
Of course this being the internet and the age of the keyboard warrior one wonders if the person making a personal attack with posts on here would actually say those things face to face to the person they are attacking?

Can you re-post some of your cringe-worthy past posts or bollox posts and let us opine on it? Of course if you leave it long enough, this one itself will do.

yeah, re-post the cringeys!

if anything I was way too nice and sane when I first posted on here. I've since hardened up and gone crazy, so it's all good.

Oh, it's Rae. You've changed your icon. Didn't recognise "you" until I checked your profile page. I don't recall any cringe worthy ones from you.

I had a very vague recollection of arguing with you about something but I couldn't find it.
