I was going to wait until New Year's Eve to do this, but I'm kicking this off early...
My plan was to start 2014 off with a clean slate by airing any problems that I've caused for anyone during this year.

Hopefully, some grievances could be aired and resolved, if apologies are warranted, so be it. I guess it's sort of like a belated Festivus kinda thing, but that was almost a week ago.

For whatever their reasons, with a few of these other apology threads going on, I just want to say that I'm being sincere here.

Just let me know what you think that I did wrong, and I promise - no excuses, no "I'm sorry that you're offended" BS, just a simple apology or no apology if I can't really do that.

OK, here we go...

Of course it is thus far a suck up session from posters, but I am hopeful for better posts.

Remember kids - when in doubt, hit that alert button.  :cheerleader:

I have no idea what a festivus is.
Sounds like something that needs medical treatment.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

It's a made up holiday from the sitcom Seinfeld. Since one of the aspects is "The Airing of the Grievances" I would say that every day is Festivus at DU.
“Don’t vote for the person who tells you you deserve something. Just don’t do it if it’s something other than life, liberty, or the pursuit of possible happiness. If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe

Ooooh, a kwanza sort of thing.
Makes sense now.
