It's a big deal to me.

But I apologize for overreacting.

If you care: I am facing enormous emotional pressures in my life (which are not your problem--especially since I'm not open enough to even share these things) but in that context--I'm trying to gradually re-open a social connection to the Cellar community, but every time I come back here, I feel like you are especially mean and critical towards me, as if you don't want me here and are trying to make me leave. I think you're trying to curate me out of the community because you personally don't like me. :mecry:

I love you man. I super-hated what you did in April because I saw it as you don't really care about us. If you care, I am sorry. I edited that message when I realized not only was it incorrect, but it was emotionally the wrong tone, too.

Fine, whatever, mean-face.

When you(Flint) come back after a long absence you don't magically erase your history and start from square one. The Cellar has a long memory but most are willing to take a wait and see attitude. You want respect? You have to earn it.

That's it, I'm leaving forever.

I think you are imagining an entire Cellar ganged up against you.

It's not. We're not.

I don't have any problem with anyone here, except specifically Undertoad, and we've sorted it out. Everybody else: it's been settled. Thank you, come again.

Most are wait and see, but once again "it's all about me".:rolleyes:

Footnote: apparently Bruce has a "long memory" that he never liked me in the first place. No big secret, Bruce, but it's completely shoe-horned into this conversation.

Well excuse me, I didn't realize this was a private between you and UT.
You're right I do have a long memory. I watched you develop from asshole to tolerable to gone to back to gone to back. One thing that hasn't changed despite you rocky personal life, is your rock steady faith in the importance of your opinions and distain for anyone who disagrees.

It was a personal misunderstanding between two individuals.

But, good for you, you managed to drain the goodwill out of our mutual baring of emotions by getting on a soapbox with your judgmental attitude. Great job!

:corn:

I don't remember what the fuck happened in April.
But I am happy to have you back, Flint.

Flint, I get you. Its not easy for people to communicate with you here, but I always find your replies interesting and thought-out. A lot of times I've agreed with you, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes I misinterpreted your posts. Especially if you were replying to me
(which probably happened a long time ago). I would have to look at them crooked-like to understand them from your vantage point, not mine.

Keep trying!

I like Flint, a lot. I've never understood the inability to have compassion for his occasional disconnection. We're not all perfect. So it seems to me UT and flint have figured it out. That's pretty much end of story, for this.
