:o This morning, in the "Official fee petition" thread, I posted, "Akira! This man needs a tumbleweed!" in reply to one of z0s0's post. I have just discovered that my reputation is negative on this post, which clearly means I've said something inappropriate.

I just want to sincerely apologise to everyone for doing so. I didn't mean to be disruptive or offensive, and I don't know whether what I did was inappropriate because it was derisive in tone, or because it might have sent the thread off on a random tangent, or because the "tumbleweed" thing has been banned and I missed it, or because what I said hurt z0s0's feelings; but I certainly realise that what I said was wrong and has clearly offended somebody. I apologise to anybody and everybody who found my stupid post inappropriate, and to everybody who finds me rude or annoying in general. I promise to be more careful about what I say in the future, with more regard for the policies of the moderators.

I am REALLY sorry! :o :o
