Mike meant to name this the "The "I can't admit I was wrong" thread

If you're that troubled by the discussions in this forum, you should probably withdraw and seek professional help.

FYI  There are numerous song lyrics, both current and from earlier generations, that many find disturbing for a variety of racial, sexual and social reasons.

I'm not bothered.
But this is where we discuss who goes to jail, who gets missiles lobbed at their house, etc. You know. Important stuff.  More important than even the most provocative song lyrics.

And you call me petty.

An apology implies you did something to hurt or offend someone else. You can be wrong about something without it being either of those things. Example: I always thought the lyrics to Blinded by the Light were “Wrapped up like a douche” when it was actually “revved up like a deuce”. Totally not an apology. There is a difference, and yes, I still call you petty.

Interesting.  I have always known the lyrics were “revved up like a deuce” AND likewise, the originator of this thread is a douche.

LOL.  Yeah, there's a lot of important stuff in this thread.

We discuss important stuff in other threads in this sub-forum.
I thought this particular thread would have a lot of important stuff come up, but, I was wrong.

Mikesez: "I thought you all would finally understand how great I am, but I was wrong."

When I was a little bitty boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver Mikesez, hanging on a string
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling!
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, I want you to play with my ding-a-ling!

Nah, that'll be in the "I was right" thread that Ronster is going to start.

Now now, this thread is about the adoration you were seeking and the chance for you to backhand your opponents with your snarky genius. Let's not stray to Ronster's failings when we're still unpacking the 120x120 climate controlled, self storage garage full of your own.

"Be teachable, you are not always right." 

A quote I read this morning and thought I would drop it here. Enjoy learning something new. You might surprise yourself.

Exactly.
Easy to say, wish it were easier to live by.

Why do you find it difficult to live by?

Because it means you have to be able to agree that you were wrong about something, something he's really incapable of doing without it being some type of disingenuous bait for a Gotcha! trap.

That wasn't my intent at all but OK. 
My intent was to lower the temperature around here.

Lol, your intent was to get everyone else talking about what they were wrong about so you could in turn claim you were right about it. Then you just turned it into an "I can't believe how dumb you people are" rant.
