I was politely requested to open a thread here. Last night I used the term wingus directed at a cm. This is against the rules and I am aware. The comment also included what a buffoon which was intended towards the subject matter not a cm. I realized this was confusing in the way I wrote it. As I have stated before I only use disqus on my phone. There are two ways to access articles as you know. Through the website or through disqus. When you look at your comment on disqus you see the edit button which will then take you to the website. From the website last night it brought me to the comment with no edit feature. 2 more try’s and it got to the button but would not save the edit. That means I’m fucked. I made a subsequent clarification with an apology. I then responded to another cm that I’m probably banned again. I then said fuck it and logged out before I dug a bigger hole for myself. Could I have tagged a mod and explained? Sure. Could or should I just delete the comment? Yes. That function looked to be working. I even stated I would just delete it if you wanted. Should I have just not called him wingus? Definitely however the cm has not replied to me without calling me a liar for 2 years. This is also a violation of the rules that goes unpunished for some reason. I do realize that after I logged off he was told by moderation to back off and was happily surprised. Look, if read this and say you don’t buy my excuses that’s fine. I apologized immediately. Obviously you can see I knew I fucked up and had regret. Moderation also could see why that happened and addressed that as well. Thank you for your understanding and the way you handled the situation.
