[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
So, let's be honest. I'm not exactly the most popular person on this specific forum.

A lot of you know me for my rather-- well, let's put it kindly, firm opinions when it comes to Apple being discussed here.

That being said, an apology to quite a few of you is in order. Let's face it, all niceties aside, I've made quite a few posts that make me sound like an almighty dickhead, and I admit it, I went overboard. What started out as me being quite protective of the developers on XDA who gives us all we flash kind of gave me a bit of an ego, and I've been quite rude to people who don't really deserve it.

The truth is simple; I love Android. The only reason I'm on this forum is because I love Android. While I may disagree with other users' opinions on Apple, I really should be going about expressing those opinions in a much more constructive way, because reading through my own posts, I can see where I've used phrases or figures of speech that the situation really didn't call for. I've used profanity in many posts even though XDA very much does not allow it.

I've had a specific way of posting for quite some time, and I'd like to change that. I mean, we're all here because of a common interest, right? I'd like to enjoy the company of people who have found happiness in the same things I have. It's really not in my place to tell any of you what to think or what opinions you have, and for that, I am truly sorry for attacking any of you.

I'd like to make this clear; no moderators or staff members asked me to make this post. This isn't the result of two infractions which I've received (which I admit, I deserved). This apology is because I want to remain a part of this community and the way I treat some of you is just not acceptable. In my line of work (in real life), if I talked to any one in the same way which I've talked to some of you, I would be instantly fired.

So here's my resolution. I'd like to make a promise to approach situations with a far, far more respectful and professional manner. I'd like to live up to my Recognized Developer name (as well as put out a few things which I've slowly been working on). Right now, I don't feel deserving of my title, and I want to change how I act to reflect that fact I'd like to keep it.

So in the future, you can expect me to mellow down quite a bit. You can expect me to remain as polite as possible, and to make my posts as informative and as useful as they can possibly be. You can expect me to not be condescending, and you can expect all these things because you shouldn't expect anything less than that from me.

In short; I've been a jackass. Solution: stop being a jackass. :good:

Thanks for reading this.

Very noble of you, sir. I really respect your ownership of the situation and willingness to change. A lot of us could learn from this...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
Just incredible. I have been fairly drama free but some of my old teammates at Android Creative Syndicate (where I was a Site admin) are pretty mad with me too cause I have also done some wrong things in dealing with my exit from that Site and starting my own. Takes a man to admit when he was wrong and you have inspired me tonight to find some people and make amends. I'm being totally serious to this inspired me. It's huge and I appreciate it. Ty much

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
It's all gravy brotha. We are all here for a common interest, may as well make the best of it. Takes a cool dude to admit wrong and apologize..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
LS take some balls for a person in your position on this Site to post a public apology. No one's perfect man. You've given a lot to the community. I'm sure I. Due time, the people who don't know ow you will see that dedication. Good job man.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] `Ghost`:
You never offended me but apology accepted. Takes a real man with some stones to do what you did. Good on ya.

Indeed you are correct sir. Infact Ive made a new pretty awesome friend through these forums. Infact we went disc golfing the other day. Had a great time with someone that has similar interests as I. I look forward to hanging out with him again and look forward to meeting more of you fine people on here. The world is a POS and its nice to be a part of a community that bonds together through similar struggles and endevors. Though its gonna suck in 8 - 12 months when people start jumping ship to the next phone. Until then LETS ROCK THIS MOTHER FATHER!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] starplaya93:
I'm not sure wth happened, but I still have a ton of respect for you LS, for doing this. As long as I've been here, I have Iseen, and even myself partook in some heated/uncalled for "debates" on XDA but never have I seen anybody sincerely apologize for their mistakes on this forum. I honestly feel that the way we treat people online in mostly anonymous situations like forums shows a lot about our true personalities and morals even when regarding reality...We just tend to bring out the parts online that we're afraid to act on and do because we know how we'd be perceived in reality.

Much respect man.

Iv learned something lately in dealing w/a really wonderful humanbeing who's addiction makes her not such a nice person....Think long n hard b4 you let what comes outta yer mouth. You dnt knw what the other persons been through n that could really hurt em more than you possibly know. No matter how much ppl get under your skin or say what you perceive as ignorant....speak to em as a wise man/teacher. Maybe they have no idea and could learn from your teachings something positive to pass along to others:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
I have to say I enjoy reading your debates like Kao and the other poster (sorry, on ltevo app, afraid I will lose typed info if I look).

When u feel u need to challenge fact or opinion for that matter then please do. I come here to learn about the things u may take for granted as a dev.

Disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing makes u a ****. Disagreeing on principle makes u a respectable ****. Or somewhere along those lines.

The line needs to be drawn somewhere I suppose. Don't lose sight of questioning what u should though. This country is going to the ****ter bc we as a whole have allowed it to happen.

Well, I better end this here before I end up being the **** of your apology thread for starting a debate on China being our daddy.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
Ive been a follower of yours since the Heroc forum liquid. Ive nevrr known you to throw out anything that wasnt deserved. That being said, It takes a pretty big man to throw out an apology of actions like you did here. You have always had my respect and for this that respect has grown that much more. Thanks for the example you have set here sir. Later ,,,:cool:,,,

No but really...I have an OG EVO and want to get the LTE just unsure between that and the S3...but let me just say this...love HTC computer history, and I mean Samsung makes tvs right...but anyway...would love honest opinions good or bad...Ohh and one more thing is the development community here the same as the og EVO?

LS, glad to see you still around. I think this is a stand up thing to do. I've seen a few members do this, and I applaud it every time. Maybe you guys will get one from me soon......

Ppffftttttt....... Chea right. :p

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thlinx:
Honestly I don't think you need to apologize to anyone about your OWN opinons. You have my respect just being a dev and providing new things for us to explore. Lemme also add I read the posts you posted on and the same people giving you **** are giving **** every else. I think you handled it mature when you were literally getting e-bullied about your opinion. Stay strong and firm with your beliefs. **** what everyone thinks..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
Didn't you see the final warning? You may get banned bro... Be careful. Zero tolerance is in effect for nobodies like us, even tho I don't think he should apologize & the threads shouldn't have been closed. What can I say tho, I'm not a mod

LT. EVO reporting sir!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pstevep:
Zero Tolerance is not in effect for this forum.

Why do you feel the need to stir up trouble?

LiquidSolstice did this because he wanted to, he doesn't care if you think he should of or not. He doesn't care if I think he should of or not. I don't know about the threads, I didn't close them, if you want to know why they were closed ask the mods of this forum. Instead of making blanket statements about them.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
I'm not starting anything good sir, I'm just stating my opinion on things as I see them. If I'm offending you, then my apologies, but my opinion isn't mean to hurt anyone. I speak my mind & it's seeming as though that isn't ok with you. If it isn't, let me know. No sarcasm or pun included

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] funcrusher:
Yo, Jay! Nice to see you, man. I miss the old, fun evo crew. I hope all is well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
Maybe a brief apology is warranted if you honestly feel that you mistreated people and now feel you owe them an apology. So that was good.

But all the rest of the original post is pointless. If you want to be better, just do it. Talking about how you're going to do it just looks self serving.

All you really have to do is, make your very next post on whatever topic you happen to be in, a decent one, and immediately people will start respecting you more. It's all about the deeds, not about the words.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
I dont see why everyone is getting butt hurt about the man saying what was on his mind whether it be in the op or the threads that got closed down. For christs sakes were all adults here well most of us anyways let the man speak his mind and how he feels and be done with it.

When I said this, I was given a "last warning" by a mod. I hope you're not "stirring anything up" here.

LT. EVO reporting sir!!!

Mod Edit: actually the "final" warning was for the way you refer to moderators.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
Yea but did you notice i didnt add how i felt about mods so thats why i got left alone from what i noticed some opinions are best left to yourself lol everyone needs to sit back and chill in this damn forum though when i was in the og and the older 3d forums before some things happened there it was never like this but i guess things change and evolve (no pun intended lol) along with people and feelings i say we all just sit down drink a beer together and start this whole lte forum over from scratch and put all differences aside and just chill out with all the hating in here. And just for the record im an infatryman for a living so im all for violence and differences and justified hate but come on folks were all sharing a common interest and hobby here plus were on the INTERNET what good does it do for one net thug to start up an arguement with another net thug just to look down and see his **** is still the same two inches long as it was before now i know that comment is probably gonna get me in trouble but ill take it to prove my point and the point is this is the internet not real life and even if it is real life to you not everyone shares your ideas and thoughts so youll never be 100 percent right except in your own mind so before things get heated remember this your probably arguing with a 13 y/o whos following trends and isnt going to back down from you because his profile says hes 23 and he knows all and is never wrong. Now im sorry for the rant but i feel it needed to be said if you have any problems with it please pm me or shout me out on here i wont report it or get offended. And punctuation nazis i dont care that theres only three periods in this post i wrote it i know that its total run on sentences again its the internet no body cares. Take care everyone and lets get some love going in here and start getting more ish to flash.

Hey man, some people take Internet insults seriously lol. I remember this G. Mod from mugen-infantry.net... Pure *****blood. Dude hated my presence so much he muted for like a month with no justifiable reason to do so lol. Then I seen his pictures lol, no wonder he took it seriously... *****blood in the real. Long story short, he ended up banning me... With no justifiable reason. The Site was pretty much dead, but I did go there for racist trolling. My whole persona was to act Neo Nazi even tho I'm clearly black & not racist at all. My screen name was Hitler's Advocate lol. I destroyed the Random Insanity boards... I was a monster of trolling on the site. Xda is lucky they don't have a board where any type of posts goes

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:

Most of the time things get closed because all they have nothing to do with what this site is for. We all come here because we like being able to customize our devices, not because we don't have anything better to do.

If you're looking to troll go to 4chan, if you're looking to just chat or BS with others try reddit or the off-topic section, if you're looking to further some weird thuggish bromance, well, I can't help you there but this definitely isn't the place.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
Was the thuggish bromance aimed at kao and myself lmao even if it was it made me laugh so f**k it lol. Also very valid point us all coming here for the same thing to customize our devices just like i pointed out in some of my posts in this thread. Theres no reason for all the bs thats been going on around here if yiu just follow the rules and dont be a jackass nothing will happen to you and also if you wanna voice your opinion do it tactfully. If yoou dont know what that means pm me and ill explain it to you. And of course its always a breath of fresh air when you grace our presence xhausx its a little escape from the norm to see a different mod around these parts.

I apologize if the military has hardened me further than I already was before enlisting. I remember when I was in BCT... I'VE never seen so much *****blood. All that stopped when I started the BFC (Barracks Fighting Championships). All we did was gamble & I fought every ****ing guy that I felt disrespected me. 5-0-1... Damn draw came from my dog Andrew. Stand up I kicked his ass but he ended up taking me down for like 10 secs the last round and put a knot on my jaw. The guy was a champion wrestler from Flint Michigan. I won $750 from fighting tho :D

No one in particular, was just sayin... lol

We all love a good debate as much as anyone else, but once it turns personal and people start disrespecting each other it's gone too far. I think the key thing is to just keep it respectful and it's all good.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
Sgt slaughter i deleted my post i think before you posted yours and you didnt see that and like i said in our pm i completely understood that thats why after i posted i deleted it and xhausx i completely agree with you but some peoples idea of disrespect isnt the same as anothers idea of it so it could be taken six different ways by six different people so i mean in all honesty some users are honestly afraid to partake in discussions for fear of negative reprocussions i mean no one wants to be kicked off XDA well no one i know anyways so if thats the case how can we expect the community to help/support each other if folks are afraid of consequences for a post that was viewed by a mod that possibly interprets it wrong

What's freedom without freedom of speech? I appreciate all opinions, no master how not well articulated they may our may not be.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
I agree with you on a personal level. In the real world we should be allowed to say or act in any way we want as long as it doesn't actually interfere with anyone else's freedoms.

But this is not real life. This is a community with a specific goal. Furthermore in real life if you don't want to listen to someone you can just walk away. Posts and bandwidth still get wasted here. If the owners of the site that built this from the ground up want to silence someone. It's their right to do so. They own the website. If someone doesn't like it they can try to build a community and find out how difficult it is.

Of course no community would survive by silencing its members. Admins and mods know this so it's a simple compromise: state your opinion without being a jerk about it. Problem solved and everyone is happy. Going back to real life: say what you want but do not yell or disrupt the peace in anyway and you'll be fine.

Woah that took way too long to type with one hand.
