An apology to Cotep
 

Hello family (albeit a dysfunctional one at times),

I just want to reach out and extend an apology to everyone, especially the Floridians, as I am in part to blame for some of the fireworks that have erupted in days past.

I am the one who coined the phrases FLOTEP and FCC 2.0. Never once has a member from Florida came here boasting or brandishing either of the aforementioned faux forum names.

I started it as joke at the influx of member's brought over here by our friend pig.

I meant it only as a joke, honestly....but somewhere it started to be taken seriously and spiraled out of control.

So, in closing, I apologize to all those that have been affected because of my asinine mocking.

Oh, by all means does this admission of guilt and apology for my misguided humor, mean that I will not do something like it in the future. :rolleyes: You have been warned.

Signed,

CWAG aka Chimp With A Gun

NO..... no this just ain't right.... spanking the monkey (boy)?

ROFL...

Spit my coffee all over my monitor... Oh, there goes another keyboard as well.... LOL!

I appreciate the apology, didn't like the phrases all that much though as I certainly did not want to push that on anyone here. Reason I came here was because of the tight knit, very friendly atmosphere, and as much as pig would disagree, cool folks such as yourself! I very much enjoy chatting with you, as well as the other regulars in the chat box.

I'd like to go on record stating I hope COTEP remains every bit as it was to the long time members here, but meeting new friends and enjoying the experience as much as the new folks like myself, enjoy a forum as it was meant to be.

Much respect, and best wishes to you all!

Good on you! I thought it was rather clever but had no idea that it hurt other members feelings.

Good job monkey boy

I wasn't gonna bring up the whole spankin' the monkey thing...and a Priest did :eek:

Howie, I guess I should've been a little more clear in my OP, it's more of a coming clean than an apology. Innocent people were blamed for something I started. It was only right to set the record straight.

And to Alex...."You ain't right in the head!!" I guess that's why I like you so much.

Very Good of you Ellison,

As for Alex with his spanking the monkey:eek::eek::eek::eek::D

Love this..best post this week!

Awesome, thanks Caleb!

Ditto that.....+1

So, who was Flo and what killed her? :eek::D

The Progressive chick on TV that works for the socialist insurance company...


And this, fellow COTEPians, is how rumors start....:)

See what happened here? Have an issue, talk about it, argue about it, work it out and make peace.

At other sites, the war would've raged for weeks if not months.

To me, that's what Cotep is all about!

Did you start those wars too? funny

To some of the finest people on the Internet ...
 

Trust me when I say this as I know Ellison as well as anyone here, We talk or text on a daily basis, He sense of humor can be sick and twisted at times.

I know he never meant for it to escalate to the degree that it did, I applaud his setting the record straight. He is good at stirring the pot and he will strike again....mark my words..... He once sent me 20 $1 gift wal mart gift cards and a birthday card with a half naked old woman on it ( which I still have;)).

This is and always will be a family, we argue, bicker and poke each other in the eye, but at the end of the day we remain a family.

So if any of you are in the Oakland area and go by Home Depot Stop pick him up for a day of yard work at your house, I hear he's pretty good at it????

And Alex you need to seek help

You say the nicest things...:facepalm:

If you thought the 20 x $1 gift cards was asinine, ....wait'll you see this years present! Mebbe they'll do 0.25 gift cards...funny You've been warned.

Eli, I like your style :D

I always knew you could find him in the Home Depot parking lot.
