I hereby apoligize to any past offenses I made to poly members here.

Actually I don't think I've ever insulted anyone here. Except call them a commie. I am by and large a nice guy. I almost never insult other people. I feel it's bad form. I feel like other people have feelings and it's not nice to hurt them.
