But i guess thats a matter of perception

It'll be okay." Wasn't my intent and this time, without trying to conjure up any sob stories, I'll apologize to Robstar for flipping out like that.
Why would the word "sport" be offensive? I use the term loosely like "bud", "bro", etc... But the point is being missed it seems. While you are grasping the logic as to where you failed with Denny, you still have that thought that people observe you in a specific way. The point to what I was making is that you project your own thoughts of yourself outward and you give off your lack of self confidence by making statements like the bolded. Its comments like this that make you appear to be trying to pull at the emotions of other to come to your defense when it isn't needed. In essence, what you did to/for Dennis, you are seeking someone to do for you in return. That is how the "Victim Card" actually applies in that you are willing to be the peacock that shows his feathers and intents for everyone to see. It comes off as a cry for "people! Don't you see that I am backing off from the topic of conversation and if anyone else is there on my side, jump in now before I truly have to give up on this!" I don't think you are doing this intentionally, however you do come across as needing the confirmation and reorganization from other to make you feel justified. That's where the "humility" aspect of my previous post comes into play. If you are doing it for others to see you, then you can't really grow from the experience...
What's wrong with just saying, "Damn, I was wrong. My bad." The only reasons I say these things K2 is because I like you, but displays like these and holding onto past disagreements are not flattering of your character. People disagree all the time; it doesn't mean they're not good people. I disagree with Robstar, Iron Ape, Dennis, Bodom (yes I am brave enough to say it), Wade, VanHX, Tommy Thunder, etc... But that doesn't mean I am going to hold a grudge on some conversation we had 3 months ago.
