Well Aculias.. I'm surprised that you of all people would claim someone else wasn't too bright.

You yourself know how painfull such an insult can be and how not true it is. I recall you being teased with your writing style too. I'm sure you didn't like that yourself.

bah

Cat .. I guess this is another case of QP envy

Vendetta I guess so.
How smart you are, I already know but that was not where I was getting at Cathrine.
SOmeone like you dont need to prove nothing.

I dont know what your talking about Romana?

Well had a talk with Romy & I guess I said some harsh words which I should apologise for.
I guess that thang that happened like 2 yrs ago or yr half got me a grudge when I got mad & attacked everyone changed my signature etc.
I didnt like what you did but I guess I am by myself on that one & it really dont matter what I think much.

I still dont even know but it is sad :/

1 possibility: When we die, we end up with our natrual vision (no eyes), and are by ourselves for eternity. But the world is huge, limitless, and everything is under our control..

I worry that could be the possibility, but mabey it would be cool I dont know.

Yeah, you probably should.

This, however is certainly not an apology.  I had to re-read that comment of yours about 12 times to try to figure out if it could possibly be that it was misinterpreted.  It is what it looked like, though, a cheap shot that came out of left field.  Cat deserves more than a non-apology like this.  Here, I'll start you out, all you have to do is fill in the blank:

Cat, I am Sorr_ for the comment I made.

And before you say it's none of my business, Cat is one of the people that makes this place interesting and the last thing I want is her being driven off by snow like this.

Aculias, please make a better effort to make HC a better place to stay and a place where members can come without being afraid of insults on their person.

The post you made about Cat is -QP material. It's offensive and insulting, and attacks the person instead of the arguments/views of the person.

The one Bort made for Cat is +QP material (In my eyes Bort got a lot closer to the next +QP by posting it.)

Bort is also right about the apology not sounding all that sincere. You might ask why does the apology not sound sincere? Because it contains explanations which are interpreted as prevarication and this type of formulations in an apology is usually read as: "I was right writing what i did, but I'm sorry writing it."

Well, I'm sorry but you can't be BOTH right and sorry.

I've noticed that you have some problems wiriting apologies so I think I should add a little guide, so the end of this post is going to be a personal tip on how you can make your apologies sounding more genuine, applicable to any poster. (I'd assume you genuinely felt sorry but just failed to communicate to the rest of us that you really were sorry.)

Here is a short checklist of what to think about when writing an apology:

1. Don't try to explain your own behaviour when making an apoplogy.
2. Don't try to justify your own behaviour when making an apoplogy.
3. Let the apology contain the actions you did wrong in clear text, so all knows what you are apologizing about and who you are apologizing to.
4. Make the apology a separate post containing only the apology and nothing more than the apology.
5. An apology is a certainty not a guessing game. (Do not use the word "guess" in an apology.)


If you break the above rules then the consequence could be that the person you apologized to and other perople who see the apology question the value of the aoplogy you just made.

Hmmm.  Some clarity.  Thank you Bort, that was very nice, although I'd obviously prefer that conduct was good enough so that you didn't have to do it in the first place.

First of all, Aculias, I never made you look like a fool.  If you speak to tavern regulars they hold you in great esteem and I doubt any of them have a clue about what you are refering to.  I'm sorry, but "Cat of Heroes Community" is an internet persona.  In reality I have a real boyfriend, whom I like very much, and am a little different to my net prejection (who isn't?).  I will gladly flirt with people on the net and I'm sorry if you took that to be something more important but we have addressed this already in IMs.  i also never meantioned leaving to anybody.  I'll still be around as long as I can get to a computer!

I have highlighted a section in your passage because I would like to go into a few details about my own life in relation.  I think this short biography may help soccer feel a little better about himself also.  After all, this is "the other side of the monitor".  It deals with real life.

Real life is a place where we all live, but the realities are very different.  I grew up in a very poor area in the south of england where you could watch people inject heroin on the beach and die of drink in the centre of the small town.  Drive by shootings are common (virtually unheard of in Englands south) and the suicide rate is astronomical.  When I was thirteen, a friend of mine was murdered by her father.  I'd love to say that was the first and last time I came across such an unfortunate incident but it wasn't.

I didn't go to a particularly good school:- we can't get decent scolarships to private schools in this area and so I went to a state school who refused to allow me help with my dyslexia (I am number blind) because I had a high IQ.  I still managed to get a B in maths and an A in computer studies, however, even though we only had seven computers in school; as well as ten other GCSEs.  

I then travelled fifteen miles a day by bus to get to a college which was likely to get me decent grades for my "A" levels, at the same time working 20 hours a week in a supermarket as a department conroller.  I got three "a"s at A level and managed to save enough money to help put me through uni, where I am at now.  This summer I worked hauling flat pack furniture and as a barmaid to get more money.

At university it's doubly wierd as the majority of students there come from fairly wealthy families, although my closest friends up there don't.  I've still managed to achieve firsts in my initial year of study, and co-captain the cheerleading squad.  I am a genuine person, often outspoken, friendly and believe everybody deserves a sceond chance.

Throughout my life I have been assulted, stalked, inolved in car chases, lost friends to drugs, drink and murder; I have also had the typical make-up-break-up thing with my man too often to count (see I have normal problems too).  All I want from the rest of my life is to finish my degree, find a nice job with loads of paperwork (I find it enjoyable) and maybe have children.  It's not much but it's more than we were all lead to believe we could have growing up.

I hope this has been helpful to both of you, although this is a very bare sketch (I don't ever reveal too much about myself on the net it isn't safe), it teaches you that you can't dwell on the past to make way for your future and that while you have to play with the cards you were dealt, you can change the card game.  There ya go y'all, soul bared.

SOmetimes you have to go through alot of experiences in your life to make yourself a more better person if you can learn from you past.
Soccer found no acceptance but dont mean it has to always be that way,
Sometimes trying a dif aproach can be an answer but you know what if people cant like you for what you post or who you are then screw them.
They dont know what you do everyday, your activities,your personal hobbies your family,friends & your own likes.
Only you do & you can share them like I do, dont mean people will like it or no it just means your expressiong yourself & just sharing you dont need to expect a clap or points etc.
Most the threads I posted were mostly crap to them but means somethang to me.
I share but I know 100% all my threads are crap to them.

Basically Soccer you be yourself & if they cant accept that then screw them.

agreed

2nd part of this is of course "accept yourself and what you are"

3rd part is if u cant make it to the 2nd part that is "find religion to make you want to accept yourself"

The Legacy Of Cat

I never knew this person. But from what I've read in this discussion alone, she seems absolutely unique; one of a kind; irreplacable. People like this don't simply come along every day. You don't meet multiple Cat(s) walking down the street. I'm really sad she left before I came to know her the way everyone else does. I'm sure I could have learned a lot from a person like her. People such as her have a lot to offer the world; especially in a world where all the important jobs have already been filled, and you wonder how yourself will fit in. She's proof that you simply can't generalize a person; you gotta listen for the voice they have deep inside. I'd wager it'll take you a bit closer to understanding the beauty of humanity and some of the more brilliant aspects of life itself.

~A prayer to Cat: May you be as successful in real life as you were here at the quaint little internet chat forum called Heroes Community. You were obviously a friend to many in this place where so many people enjoyed that sweet sense of humor, intelligent wit, and jovial literal strut. Your intelligence, beauty, and friendly presence simply won't be forgotten.
