you were doing so great. you apologized for everything. you swallowed your pride. you did everything that was needed to end this situation.

and then you had to go and say "but I'm right anyway" (using afura as proxy)

He was apologizing for something completely different (taking a mean tone to MKK). This is a separate issue.

Try understanding what is going on, isn't that what you just said to me?

that wasn't clear so don't be so surprised that i took it personally.  even if it didn't involve me personally i'm sure as heck going to speak up for mkk because not everyone wants to defend themselves.  i've been in a lot of situations where i'm very glad people spoke up on my behalf.

You did just what Dada is pissed at me about: you said "oh, I didnt know that, but I'm still right." But I guess it's ok. Dada let's see if you get upset at her like did at me. This whole thing started because she misinterpreted my post. I apologized.
yes coulombs are "germaine", did you learn that word at talk like a dick school?

i didn't misinterpret your post at all, i just misinterpreted who it was directed at.  i AM still right.  it was unacceptable for you to say those things to me and mkk, why is it any more acceptable if it's JUST to mkk?  it literally doesn't matter.  stop acting like you're some sort of martyr.

what spices do you guys tend to use in a lot of your dishes?

i find i put coriander (leaf) and basil in most things, but am thinking i should get a wider selection of things and try them out.

I love how he apologized, but you're both being extremely hypocritical by refusing to admit you overreacted.

This salt is more like nitro glycerin.

Vel is unhappy that you called Mkk an attention whore. (which is now obvious, since she stated so) the bento thing is now secondary. I argue that you were being overly aggressive about your dislike, golden ratio.

While I agree that there is more reason to annoyed at you for you rudeness rather than inflamed with rage, pointing out how mad she is walking a fine line from being neutral to spiteful or trollish dude. :/

I do agree also that you should probably just say 'sorry I was a dick, it was not my intention'.

I however, should point out there are some people that overreacted on both ends. One of them is MORE at fault (GR) but he is human and prone to social mistakes, like the rest of us.

I'd also argue, even if he does not say an 'authentic' sorry, holding a grudge against him for it would be just as childish. Rise above, be the better ma--- err... person.

Also I think his current apology is largely the equivalent of saying "I'm sorry if I made a mistake, I still don't know if I offended mkk though." Now that Mkk has explained how she feels, its safe to assume that gr now understands and is actually sorry anyway. The if-then has been completed.


EDIT:Ignore I posted this anyway after seeing 25 posts. twas a mistake.

more on topic:
I did not even know bento was Japanese. I had not heard of it before. I can see the appeal of separating food into healthy portions. I probably would not do it myself though.

I'm not a weeaboo but I don't hate weeaboos btw.

i also put a lot of pepper in things. i am starting to think this is diminishing the taste in most things? i should probably cut down on it and focus on enhancing the other flavours in the dishes. pepper is quite a strong flavour

it's precisely this kind of stupid passive-aggressive stuff that makes me believe you're insincere. you should be able to tell why vell's post is not the same at all as your post. using the information she had at the time it was perfectly reasonable for her to conclude that you were talking about her considering she had also posted bentos in the topic. I thought the exact same thing. so it turned out you were not talking about her, but does that invalidate her reaction? and does it take away the fact there's someone else you needlessly insulted and refused to apologize to until it was repeatedly and unequivocally requested?

$10 for lunch is p expensive. i am wary about getting a £3.50 meal for lunch when i'm at work because it'll eat up my cash.

i guess i am not a hot shot freelance web designer

They always give you a hot towel when you take the shinkansen/hispeed train during breakfast/lunch/dinner hours. It's like you're expected to eat. (although last time I went I had a 1st class ticket so idk if they do it in second class too, but I think they do.) To the point where I'd say you should take the shinkansen once just to have lunch there as a tourist attraction.
