AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Putting this in the "unimportant things" topic seemed... wrong.

It's happening again, sssso I feel like this is the right thing to do. A long time ago, in a topic not so far away, I introduced myself. Along with that, I do believe I explained that I usually don't last long on message boards because my weird sense of humor and poor social skills make for really bad responses and statements that come as every flavor of nasty or annoying, and it seems to go straight over my head until the damage is done. Recently, I think a good chunk of the regulars experienced that in too big a way to just blow over- for me, at least.

I can honestly say, that in my right mind, I like all of you. I like you even if I've never met you or don't know you at all, because I'd rather be kind to someone who could potentially reject my kindness, than be mean to some who is potentially my friend-to-be. I came here because I love this comic, and in a weird sort of way, I've fallen in love with the people behind it. Not just Katie, Norrin, and company, but the people populating this forum, making it the colorful and entertaining place that it is. I don't want to be mean, and if I ever am in the future, I'm so sorry.

Maybe someone will say I'm being dramafied about this, but at least I'd know even that person acknowledges my concern has an impact. Maybe I'll never meet any of you, and maybe I will. Either way, I know you're all real people, every one of you. Real people with real feelings, who deserve to be treated with all the compassion, respect, and manners I would give to anybody walking past on the streets around my home (I live in a very nice neighborhood). So if at anytime in the future, something I say seems to be an insult or act of aggression towards you, remember: I am your socially-awkward penguin and I love you.

Please don't hit me with sticks, because I will cry. Nobody wants to see that.

Aggression is in the intent, not the act. If you truly were a common asshole, it wouldn't show in fits of dark, controversial humor, it would show in every single comment you make. I know you're not an asshol because it's the case that some of your comments are iffy, and not every single thing you say being something racist, sexist, or some other kind of -ist. True, we can be harsh, and assumative, and lord knows we need some classes on this little concept commonly known as "sarcasm" but communication, for the most part, should fix everything (as it should in real life anyway).

This is AZ man, were all assholes to a degree XD

No need to apologize for having an opinion either. You're cool, mostly because you dodged all the fire. Shame on you.

You're fine. Just calm down when you post something and tune the unneeded sass down.

Didn't read it fully but apparently you were an asshole or something?

DW we all are at one point
