jobaba Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 This being a dating advice site, it seems one of the objectives of those asking for advice is to take constructive criticism and change what might be the root of their problems in dating or life. Of course, I rarely see people take any advice or take any steps to change. It seems as human beings, one of our ingrained attributes is stubbornness. It's always much easier to either say the problems we encounter are the results of our environs, or that our online persona does not reflect our real life persona. To this I say... I realize that I am a d@uchebag. I realize I've said many nasty, bitter things on this forum and tried to incite other posters. That I have projected on the female posters of this forum my own struggles and failures with women and tried to make them feel guilty as if they were the women who rejected me. But in reality, I believe we can change if we really try. And the truth is, I want to change. I am not a particularly happy person right now. And I do believe what we post online really comes through in our daily dealings. So, first, I would like to apologize to all the female posters at LS who I have tried to project guilt on, and picked arguments with. There are many, but Carrie T comes most recently to mind. I apologize. And second, the online persona Jobaba at LS is no longer. I am requesting suspension of my account and erasure of all my previous posts. It was an ugly era that was spawned by the spurning of a 26 year old woman which lasted just under a year and a whopping 2200 posts in that time. If I do decide to create a new account and post, hopefully it will be as a happier poster. I know I'll get mocked for the melodrama. But akin to fighting addiction, sometimes it takes a public announcement to help the follow through. Thank you LSers...
CarrieT Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 There are many, but Carrie T comes most recently to mind. I apologize. Well, thanks. Not necessary and I don't believe you need to leave. But appreciate the apology! This being a dating advice site, it seems one of the objectives of those asking for advice is to take constructive criticism and change what might be the root of their problems in dating or life. I think it is more than a dating advice site, but a relationship advice site. And if you have had this epiphany, why not stick around and continue with the learning and giving of your new found wisdom? I am requesting suspension of my account and erasure of all my previous posts. You've been here long enough (I would think!) to know that old posts don't get erased; they are too deeply imbedded in lengthy discussion involving others. And you don't suspend an account - you just stop posting.
