At one time or another, we're all idiots. You're doing your best to recover.

[spiderplanet]

I agree completely and wholeheartedly that we're all idiots now and then. You're one of the cleverest idiots I know.

[serene]

Is it okay if I tell YOU I don't think you're an idiot? (Not commenting on whether or not you DID something idiotic -- I don't have any info on that. Just not an idiot, nope. Great, smart, wonderful people such as yourself do idiotic things sometimes.)

[kalmn]

oh, she's not calling me an idiot. that's all me.

i will probably get to a spot where i appreciate this later. thanks.

You are a human. There will be times when you fail to live up to your ideals. But you are not your mistakes. Hell, you must be someone special if evidence of your mistakes are so rare and prized that it is screen-capped and passed around.

Take the day off, but only one day. The world needs to hear what you have to say when you do live up to your expectations.

In the mean time, have this baby jaguar.

that remark about invading poland

awww, wow - i empathize

whatever pushed your buttons so hard as to have *that* fly out of your fingertips?

[kalmn]

wiscon concom and people who support us are being called feminazis. i did not and do not mean in any way to say that lbf was one of the people saying that, though.

[geeksdoitbetter]

oh noes!

i fucking hate that word

once used, it's like there's no reasonable response left

Sometimes I see you reply to posts or comments with a response that doesn't seem to me to have anything to do with the original post or comment, and this seemed to me to be one of those times. I saw your reply to littlebutfierce's post, and your original reply makes more sense now, but it still seemed fairly out of the blue when I saw it without that explanation.

That said, I don't think you're an idiot, AND I like you very much.

[commodorified]

That kindness and love you found for me when I fucked up?

Right back atcha, babe.

*hugs you hard*

Nobody learns to walk without falling. I wish it were not so, but it is so.

Everybody screws up. (Or at least I hope they do, I wouldn't want to be alone in that.)

FWIW, I don't think you're an idiot either. I think you've taking a lot of flack from a lot of different directions and that it's bloody hard for anybody to keep their head about them when all that's going on.

Hey, we're human. We frak up, and hopefully learn how not to frak things up the same way again. It's when people refuse to learn from the inevitable frakups that keeps the fail around.

[snippy]

I hope I can show your grace when next I get called on my idiocy.

I also think:
* It's awesome that you're being gracious about screwing up.
* We all screw up.

Also, I send you tea!

I agree with this - it's unusual to see someone be so gracious about screwing up. Kudos.
