Hello all, When I joined this forum several years ago, many of my postings were very mean spirited.  On top of that, my internet communication abilities suffered from being too forward in general.  Back then, I had a lot of anger and demons in me.  But no more.
I was saved a year and a half ago.  Boy what a day that was...  However, I still suffered with depression.  This past February, I was relieved of that as well.  It is like I've just been born.  I am able to experience all the good things that life has to offer that I wasn't able to before.
But enough of that.  This message is for all of you who I offended here at cc.com.  I am very sorry for the negativity that I addressed you with.  None deserved it.

Thank You,
Joe Mays

 :wave:  Welcome back, but like a few others have posted I don't recall any "mean spirited" remarks from the past. But you felt the need to clear the air and that is what's  important.   :thumbsup:

Likewise here Joe,

I remember a couple of back and forths we had over political threads. I had to take a step back too. It seemed like the only thing I was posting was in response to that stuff. I realized CC.com was a place I started coming to because of the humor and Mopar talk.
While I think it's OK to have political threads it is important to go into them knowing that you probably aren't going to change anyones mind in an internet setting. At least for me, that was a problem for awhile.
Joltin' Joe and I have actually shared a couple of good PM's about coming to the Lord and living better since the couple of cat fights we had. It feels great to share that stuff.
You da man, Joe.

Thank you all for the wonderful responses.  Go-fish and a guy with  'Devil' as part of his name are the only two that I can remember at this time.  However, this also very much goes out to those who I exposed to such negativity.  And I'd like to continue to hear (read thread) from anyone else: good/bad/ugly.

I no longer entertain the online political stuff either.  Just a bit with an Uncle and one acquaintance.  It's kinda like the Salem witch hunt.  They thought that they were exterminating the devils workers.  But they stopped [with only one woman left to fry] because they realized that they were doing the devils work... Inflaming the political anger with arguing in this case.
And I am politically content at this time...  :stirpot: Ooops!  I did it again.

Oh!  A segway opportunity to a little story:

This is so right Go-Fish (memory for names no longer exist); the sharing.  I feel much better, so far, with taking on this responsibility of addressing negativity which I have/may have created.

The little story:  Over the past few months, I felt such shame that I was actually trying to register with a new name/account; with the intention to delete this account.  It actually became very difficult to do with the email address verification (a problem with Verizon sub-account stuff).  I knew that I could pull it off but it was making me frustrated.  Yesterday however, while on the Porcelain Throne, I realized that this thread was the way to handle these type of concerns.  I would not have been able to realize this without my new found maturity; via the Lord for me.

Pic's asap.; which for me is 6-months.  haha.  Will probably email them to WhiteSatin to upload for me.

Well I have always tried to stay out of political or heated debates .
 I have directed my anger poorly although I have always tried to turn it into some kind of positive in giving back & helping others . I have suffered from depression as long as I can remember , I hope I can deal with it better being out of the cold environment permanently .
 I remember you primarily for offering to help to contact some people on my behalf & possibly open the door into the US . I am grateful for the efforts to help me !
From this point forward I doubt I see any future in the US , & I am working my butt off to remain here in Panama .
 Congrats again on finding a better way in life Joe !
