Well, others have done this and I guess it's my turn now.

I want to say I'm sorry if I have ever offended anyone. Today there was a miscommunication between me and another member and that's all it was. It still bothers me though cause I love all things MINI and the fact that a car has be come a culture is very special to me.

Some of us have met and some not. I know some of you better than others. In the end though sometimes it's hard to just read a post and know how to take it. Sometimes this ends being taken wrong.

So if I have ever reacted wrong or posted something that came off wrong. I'm sorry.

HUGS FOR EVERYONE!!

Chris

 

Thanks for your heart-felt apology, Chris. I'm sure it's appreciated by many of us here. No, I do NOT mean that you have offended me...LOL...I just think it's very nice of you to be a stand-up guy and admit you misinterpreted things.


Clover

 

Thanks Clo......I try to do what I can with what brain I got.

 

So what were you drinking tonight Tulsy?

 

Play nice, Matt! Not everyone drinks like we do! LOL!!!


Clover

 

LOL nothing...just realizing with all that has been going on in my life I like to keep things straight cause as much as I like drifting cars I wanna stay straight on the track of life

 

Nice. We all need to do this sometimes.
I know I do.

 

I guess I wasn't there but I have had to do this myself, I always get new perspective.

I think that for me, my passion runs high with the Mini so that from time to time I am not the best version of myself.

the fact that you have done this means there is a pretty good version of you in control right now.

 

I forgive you Tuls! We can be friends again!

 

Plenty of people have angered and frustrated me on this forum, but you've never been one of them. Don't worry about it, unless you're blatantly trolling and pushing people's buttons, people here tend to forgive very quickly.

 

thanks all

 

Have I?

 

I guess I have also pissed off some people here over the years. I am very passionate about the MINI and also tend to lose my cool.

My apologies. I love ya all!:smile:

 

Hey all,

I'll just pay in advance here, cuz I'm bound to **** someone off, either now or in the near future.

Heck, even our trolls seem reasonable well-behaved. Check out a gaming forum some time, sheesh.

Cheers,
Matthew Z.

 

 

No, you just cost me five grand, that's all.

 

 

Ditto, in more ways than one. Not lately, but in the past I have said stupid things and gotten into fairly useless arguments with others. So, I made my ammends as best I could and I hope no ill feelings still linger.

I also completely understand you feelings about this MINI "culture" that we are all in. I see it as a community of some of the kindest, most enthusiastic, and most accepting people out there and that is one reason why I want a MINI so badly. I would feel so bad if I couldn't stay in this community because of some stupid words. When Maxamini passed I was only vaguely familiar with some of his posts, but after learning about him it just reasserted how embracing and great the people in the MINI community can be. I grew up in a classic car community (Tri-Chevy...for those who don't know it is a group who are mainly about the 55-56-57 chevys...but would accept new members who did not have one of those). Since that was my father's group I rebelled, as I think most children do to try to establish themselves seperate from their parents (no actual data to support...just a gut feeling). Well, now after a long time I find what was so enjoyable to him in the MINI community. People, ALL of you, you are .

 

I think Aristotle put it best when he said:
Every one of us will offend people from time to time, just as every one of us will be offended by others. Our merit of character can be seen in how we react to such situations.

 

No worries, NAM is also a support group.

 

I feel compelled to add that Howlin' Wolf also put it quite well when he said:

"Ain't nobody never lived that didn't do somebody wrong."

 

If I apologise now, will I be allowed to continue with my smart **** (and not so smart) remarks?


...just checking...


btw, Tulsy, I forgive you for having a sweet *** ride.



p.s. I bought that Labowski movie just coz of chris's sig, and I'm gonna watch it tonight.

 

'tis a great flick! I smile every time I see that sig!

... then again, I smile every time I see a MINI in a sig too .

 

I forgive you too (don't know for what though, dumb)

 

lol thanks!!
