    Dear fellow forum members,
    I’d like to apologise for my toxic behaviour.
    My responses to @Nuada Airgetlam have caused him to feel that I have been stalking and abusing him, then gaslighting my victim.
    This is absolutely not my intent and I humbly and unreservedly apologise and beg forgiveness from @Nuada Airgetlam and others that may have been offended by my thoughtless, crass behaviour. My focus on my own feelings of rightness has blinded me to the effect of my posts on the mental and emotional well-being of valued forum users such as @Nuada Airgetlam and @kanluwen.
    To those posters who have made me aware of my toxicity, thank you. With the help of good people like you, I will strive to be a better person.

    I will be frank, Dragonstriker.

    Between the private message you've just sent me, which is the classic non-apology [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-apology_apology ]
    and the hyperbolic, over the top phrasing of the public post above, which also again does not recognize your own actual fault but talks about my "feeling stalked and abused and then gaslighted" by your words and actions (as if those were only my "fake feelings", because "you did none of those things, after all"), you do not come across as anything else than condescending, instead of apologetic.

    This is just a continuation of your actions and words, an attempt to regain "face" and at the same time have a shot at further mocking me with your phrasing and the way you present the situation. It comes across as disingenuous and snide, an insult disguised as an "apology". And even if it's not intended as such (though it does sound bad), it's still not an acknowledgement of fault and not an honest apology.

    Of course, in the classic song and dance of the internet, you will now be offended that I wasn't "classy" enough to accept your "apology" and some people will agree with you, which is still a win in your book, I guess.

    I didn't ask for apologies from you. Stop stalking and baiting me all over the Forum.

    I would be most satisfied if you ceased writing to me and about me at all.

    Ok.
    Unless saying ok is breaking your rule. I can’t tell because you’re still on ignore.
    Am I allowed to post in threads that you post in? Am I even allowed to read them? What if I accidentally disagree with your POV even though I don’t know what it is because you’re on ignore? I’m confused.
    This whole conspiracy against you seemed like a fun idea, but it’s just becoming too much like hard work:cold_sweat:.

    Is it time to talk about biltong, charqui, jerky, etc, yet? I miss that time of the month... or maybe exotic dishes like cuy or such?

    Eh? Cuy isn't exotic. Now, I'd like to hear about Ćevapčići If there's anybody here from the Balkans.

    Speaking of exotic, at least from a Western perspective, I had the pleasure of eating the most tasty pulled pork sandwich. However, the pork is not smoked, but rather cooked in a dutch oven with ginger, hoisin, white miso and gochujang, then shredded and combined with caramelized onions and more white miso, and a final touch of more gochujang. Serve it on a nice potato bun with pickled carrots and pickled jalapeños. Yes, it is that good. The recipe? For your gustatory pleasure you can find it here: https://www.177milkstreet.com/tv/the-new-australia

    My sister does Cevapi all the time. She married into a Macedonian (FYRoM) family - and also runs her own catering company.
    She was planning on retiring and moving to Croatia this year (her and her hubby have a property there already) but 'rona put a damper on those plans.

    I don't log into the fora for, like, 2 months and come back to this shit?

    Dunking on our resident misanthropes is an unlockable achievement around here. Unless you're also a shitter yourself. In which case...

    ...Miss me with this pseudo-drama, fam.

    Yep. And there we go, it's still all snark and derision, mockery and trolling. I was right to call out the two-faced bullshit.

    Because CB don't know how to handle a forum, design bases, write lore, make new poses, review rules, launch kickstarters, manage a warehouse, market their stuff, avoid racism, avoid tactical junk, analyse statistical data and GIVE US NEWS.

    Well, to many gringos it would be... they’re typically used to seeing them run around in hamster balls, not lying feet up on a plate.

    The only result of that will be myself unable to see schmucks like this smearing me behind my back. I'm not the problem here, he's stalking me and baiting me, and I'm supposed to be the one forced to adjust? FFS.
