i had to alert on myself tonight

[SwampG8r]

i posted what i thought was a funny pic
the problem was it came from a NC gop site
the site was hateful and racist
to any who saw it followed it back to its original source and were offended i deeply apologize for using it
i found it on a google search and was unaware of where it came from
then used it before i checked it back to its source

so i alerted on myself for it

i am so sorry mods to make your hard job even harder
it was intended to be funny but it wasnt

[LeighAnn]

1. What a conscience you've got!

I've never heard of anyone doing that before.

Kudos!

[SwampG8r]

4. it was nasty stuff

i felt dirty after seeing it and anyone who saw it because i posted it is owed a direct apology

[SwampG8r]

2. do i need to alert on me for calling me out and saying i alerted on myself?

???

[crankychatter]

8. I could alert on you, FOR you, but now that I've named you... I would have to alert on my self too

I'm going to have to write Dear Abby for this one

[SwampG8r]

11. this is presenting a conundrum

we may need a mod to sort out who can alert on themselves and for what reasons

[tanyev]

18. No, but now you can have a really nasty flamewar with yourself.

Be sure to cap it off by putting yourself on ignore and dramatically announcing it to yourself.

:D

3. whoa... that's some west point action gator... good on ya

I've eaten some humble pie since I've been here

ya'all keep pullin' my awareness UP

:-)

[SwampG8r]

7. who we are is all we got

[jobycom]

5. I'm alerting on this. Damn thing's so sugary it's gonna rot my teeth!

(Yeah, I think it's cool you explained it, though)

[PermanentRevolution]

6. Honestly, I think self-deleting the OP was sufficient

But if you feel like this is a healthy kind of penance for you, more power to ya. I doubt many will hold the post, or the pic, against you.

:toast:

[SwampG8r]

10. its more about what i hold against myself than anything else

i will have that beer though
i deserve it
:beer:

[thewiseguy]

9. Dont worry about it. We all make innocent mistakes.

:) I have had my share too.

[tkmorris]

12. Don't sweat it

Personally I thought any outrage over where it came from was just silly. The pic worked fine for what you did with it, no one needed to go view the site it came from.

[SwampG8r]

15. i didnt get many posts expressing outrage

but i was informed of where it came from and it needed to be said i felt after visiting the originators site


except for that one person but her outrage was false anyways

[wvbygod]

22. My comment was certainly only about the irony of it

You are not alone in just grabbing a google image search result. There is nothing to be ashamed
or beat yourself up over. Nothing wrong with the hostage dog picture except maybe some PETA types
would get upset...I am sure the gun was not loaded but the photographer may have been.

[SwampG8r]

23. im sorry if you misunderstood

when he asked about outrage we werent referring to you but another poster in the thread who was concern trolling

[Forkboy]

13. I once posted a great pic of Daffy Duck only to find out it had come from FR.

These things happen. :)

[papapi]

14. Alerted....

that swampg8r has a conscious.

[Writer]

16. You deserve many buttery biscuits and fudge brownies.

:9

[SwampG8r]

17. awww thanks

now i actually do feel better

[1Hippiechick]

20. Well, gee, I missed it, and I'm from NC. I would like to know what areas to target! Name of town?

[SwampG8r]

24. you do not want to see it and i wont show you

its nasty stuff
if you want to know more pm me and ill let you know personally
since its in your back yard

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

21. Hey, I had myself on Ignore throughout the primaries...

Don't beat yourself up about it.

[mloutre]

25. OK, that tears it, you deserve to be tombstoned

This post is blatant flamebait designed to troll out all the shills and paid bots and Obama-hating freepers and you should be made to tombstone your own self in response.

But only after you vote for McCain first, of course.

:D

(PS -- after you're gone, can I have your stuff?)

26. Maybe this will make you feel better: "Send comments to" email addresses.

I thought the picture was cute, the website was awful but not surprising.

Pasted below are a list of contact email addresses taken from near the last page of that awful site, for anyone who cares to write to them expressing concern.

Writing letters of concern are not something I do, but poetic justice would be served if any of them heard from any of us, no?
