I just unpublished my last thread, the one about being nice. While I do in a way agree with the nut of it, I was wrong in how I expressed it.
» I apologize for saying that others don't care about OlyBlog. That was a insensitive and inaccurate thing to say. There are many people who contribute to this blog, and many different ways of contributing. I still believe there are a handful of people that should check themselves, but I know that needs to start with me. I unpublished the thread because I feel it was a lot of negative energy that needed to go away, not because I wanted to silence anyone's voice. Most everything said in criticism of my post was right on, in my opinion. I am not a robot, and I frog things up sometimes. Can't we all just get along?

Submitted by The Original Yoda on Mon, 03/10/2008 - 8:57pm....it was three paragraphs and well reasoned.
It was kind of sad to see it dissapear 10 minutes after she posted it.
Just curious, Rob, if you had any response to her post "in mind" before
you unpublished your blog. Thanks!
Good point.
Submitted by Rob Richards on Mon, 03/10/2008 - 9:00pm.There's too much important stuff going on locally, and I'm far too busy a person to spend, waste, and abuse my time with negative stuff. So I'm done. I'm gonna stick to fun things, like helping people generate original content.
Way to go.

Welcome to the Human Race, Rob
Submitted by Anonymously Larry on Tue, 03/11/2008 - 12:15am.You finally made your first mistake today and have qualified for membership. I was wondering how long your perfect streak was going to last.
Frankly, friend, you were nicer than I would have been and probably a bigger man that I to accept your self analysis
For what it's worth, I agree with much of your concerns.
Personally, I appreciated

Very big of you Rob, thank you.

Ahem.
Submitted by Phil Owen on Tue, 03/11/2008 - 10:27am.It's "mea culpa". With an "e". Not that I'm not as eager as the next Olyblogger to extol your praises. I think you're nifty. I even like your i-phone. :)

Submitted by Norm on Tue, 03/11/2008 - 10:29am.oh, it's really cool
Submitted by Phil Owen on Tue, 03/11/2008 - 10:32am.And I meant to put a "P.S." on the last comment, but the edit button disappeared. So:
P.S. I think this thread is way cool. You take too much crap here, Rob, and though I didn't read your vent, I think you've got more right to vent on Olyblog than just about anyone else. Glad to finally see folks giving you some credit/cutting you some slack.
