An apology.....

Go to last post
Ulfric noticed that the language included a lot of self-massaging. That's not homespun psychology, it's human nature and most people don't see it (especially those who are doing it). Lots of people apologise to make themselves feel better, especially if they can bring themselves up a notch with the applause of the crowd, which is quite rewarding in it's own right. I know you don't want to hear this, but to your credit, most people have no idea they are doing so. Consider it an opportunity to grow; not to learn how to better hide your grandstanding, but actually how to apologise.

Cheers,
Seth

Manchester United or Arsenal?
I think Wayne Rooney is over-rated.

Seriously, that degree of unsolicited psychoanalysis is nauseating. Would you guys consider Shrinking your helpful contributions by a notch or two.

But you're massively wrong and someone else answered far more eloquently and succinctly than I could. Here's the answer

It's a sad day when someone can't even offer a heartfelt apology without being criticised for doing so. Unfortunately it doesn't surprise me.

I've been sucked into things I should never have commented on or posted. There are a few here that just plain like to get under your skin. Lets face it, most know who you are and what you post, so don't sweat the small mate, its not worth the hassle sometimes.

All the best Tony, aww BTW, a new NEX 7 heres as well as the m4/3. Enjoyed your posts on the NEX thanks. Its appreciated.

I missed the inflammatory posts, like several other forumers, so all this thread sounds weird, especially since we have no means to build our own opinion on the confrontational words which were exchanged, we don't even know who were the other people involved, nor what was the subject of the disagreement.

To sum up given all this weirdness there may well be something right in what you say.

At least, the apologies should have been made in the concerned threads, or to the persons directly concerned.

I wasn't apologising to the people I skirmished with so that wasn't appropriate, I was apologising to the reasonable and rational forum members who may have unfortunately witnessed it. I let my own standards drop below what I consider to be an acceptable level. I take full responsibility for that, and it is that which I wish to acknowledge and rectify. Some people might find this as strange but I have my own moral code and try to live by it. Unfortunately some do not wish to accept it in the manner it was offered. I am not trying to prove anything or offer myself up as some shining example, or have any delusions of grandeur. I try to be a man of integrity and honesty. I have suffered a level of abuse via PM and openly on here from one rather vile individual, plenty will know who that is, I need make no further comment on that. It's a sad reflection of some individuals that they find it impossible to believe the sincerity of my apology and have tried to twist it into something it's not. No matter, I've done what I consider to be the right and honourable thing to do, people will judge me as they see fit.

... but then I read a rumour that you made Olympus use the GX1's sensor in the OM-D E-M5-X .

That's unforgivable.
Burn in Hell!

As Danny said, don't sweat it. We all have regrets. Everyone struggles to become who we want to be, while continuing to fail. When you stop caring, then you might have something to worry about.

I'm one of the few who actually isn't worried about this sensor in the new Oly, I have no doubt the IQ will be stellar, guilty as charged :).

See? SEE?
That's some (FT5) material right there. Guilty as charged!

Tony should, nay must, endure the MFT Walk of Shame.
I'm not sure what that entails, but Tedolph may have some ideas.
Probably involves an E-PL1+kit lens ...

Careful, or this apology to the apologizer might now be subjected to some meta-analysis!

Tony, you are letting the Psy Ops guys get to you.

Really, just back out of this apology thing.

Just tell everybody it was a mistake or some sort of PTSD flash back-anything really.
