Edit.
Most people play this game to get away from their usual life, and everything it comes with. Sometimes, this game ends up being a way of relieving their stress. Sometimes in a bad way.
And Bret's been around here for quite a while now. After a while, you get to know people more than just 'the guy behind the monitor'. Even in a 'cold' environment as the Internet, people do end up sharing friendships.
So an apology may count more than it does at first glance.
To those people that are more than "just a guy behind a monitor" he could've apologized in person if they're such good friends. Public threads about how sorry you are are just for show and for the admins to see how sorry he is. It works, but it's nonsense.

If it's nonsense why are you so intent on trolling it? Just ignore if you dont like it. It has no bearing on you.
Is this your definition of trolling? If so then I'm way off. To me, it's just a disagreement to what the others have posted in this tread, namely saying how it takes guts to do what he did. I disagree and am saying why is that the case. The posts in which I actually trolled, you removed. Fair deal I'd say.

Oh yes, he'll make the trip from the US to England to apologise to Del and then to France to apologise to me and then go back to USA.

If you dont think there is any point to this thread, why do you post at all? How about answering that question, why not just ignore it if you feel that way?

300% BEAUTIFUL THINKING
Oh wow you're such a bright bulb. Did he not claim he knows a lot of those folks, and calls them friends as well? By in person I meant in a personal conversation on skype, nothing more.

Did I say even once there's no point in this thread? I just said the point is wrong. And hence, why I'm posting. I answered it the first time, so not really sure why you're insisting on going with that. To clarify, I feel apologizing on the forums is lame, but I did not say anything against that at first, I only claimed that I cannot comprehend as to why people say it takes guts. From all we know he could be lying his ass off and laughing it off at us at the same time.

Oh alright. So basically by your terms you can't call people you like on disco friends simply because you've never met them face to face ?

You said the thread was nonsense, meaning there is no point to it. So you say it is pointless, yet force your trolling posts into it. Seems you are the one with the issues in this thread, not SMI. Now, leave the thread and dont come back.
