Okay I do really sincerely want to apologize
2 weeks ago
First and foremost this is about me and my behavior
I made myself look like a bloodthirsty ghoul with those journals, I didn't make the world a better place and I didn't solve any problems. I just fanned the flames and deeply upset everyone in a 500-mile radius.
I shouldn't have cruelly mocked a man who'd just been murdered, even if he would do the same to me. I should have just pointed out that he wasn't the peaceful bridger-of-gaps people kept holding him up as, and asserted that he was a fascist propaganda mouthpiece who used bullying veiled as debate, and moved on.
Instead, I created a spectacle and did devastating damage to my own reputation even in the eyes of decent, reasonable people who aren't alt-right wingnuts.
I'm really and truly sorry. I lashed out in response to the eulogizing and saint-worship of a man who was an extreme existential threat to myself and my community. I lowered myself to the very standards I was trying to defeat, and I'm ashamed of that. I'll never forget after this that the better part of valor is discretion, and that two wrongs really actually don't make a right.
I'm sorry for not living up to my name. I'll do better going forward.

i accept your apology
we can never trust murderers
i dont want new management
You apologized, and that's a brave thing to do. No one forbids having an opinion (well, I think so), but rejoice over a murder is minimum strange, and maximum inadequate.
"It's either good about the dead, or nothing but the truth"
Have a nice day.
P.s - English is not my language, so I'm sorry for the translation errors.
And again this isn't a cop-out on my beliefs, just an apology for the way I expressed them.
I just hope they're upset because I said mean things and not because they're a fan of Kirk.
I wasn't really a part of the discussion so I'm kinda just inserting myself into the middle of this, but I did read the threads that god very long at some points.
Honestly when I heard what happened to Charlie I thought the same way as you did to a certain extend. Turning point america had caused me quite a lot of existential dread and sorrow with their belligerent propaganda, however it does not mean that they deserve a death sentence. No one deserves to get shot like that.
Just wanna stop by and say that it takes a lot of bravery to apologize like you did. Just know it does wonders for closing the political gap that has only been getting wider and wider through the last couple of years.
What you saw isn't who I want to be. I didn't act like who I like to think of myself as. What happened was atrocious even if the guy had it coming. In a just world he wouldn't have ever been allowed to spread his racist and misogynist worldview to the point that violence came back around to him, but he was allowed and it did. That's what I should have said, not "nananana boo boo" even if in the big picture, you know, he was the propaganda arm of a fascist regime.
But I'm afraid that gap isn't going to close, half of the country completely abandoned their senses for the promise of power.
Then be the man of your word and stop spamming political journals from the news articles that made you this way.
Otherwise, I'm not accepting it.
If you continue acting this way, that's on you.
