I'm sorry I've been an asshole.

[helderheid]

I've had my moments. I've posted inflammatory cartoons. I've been snarky. I've been an asshole.

Thank heavens this thing will be over soon. I really do love DU.

:grouphug: and sorry for my assholiry :blush:

[ClayZ]

1. I forgive you!

K and R

[helderheid]

5. Thanks

:hug:

[walldude]

2. Gee, I can't imagine why you may have gotten

snarky, you brainwashed cult member... :)

[helderheid]

3. :P

[Adelante]

4. Well, okay

:pals:

[iamthebandfanman]

6. yay for being over!

i cant wait to get on with general election campaigning.

[JimGinPA]

7. Alerted!

Olive branch waving?
















:evilgrin:

[helderheid]

74. Bah!!

:rofl:

[Bluerthanblue]

8. everyone's an asshole

sometimes- and that is a good thing.

Otherwise we'd all be full of shit.

I'm looking forward to closure of this primary season too.

:hug: Helderheid-

I love this place too- we are a strange and wonderful example of humanity.:hi:

peace~

[helderheid]

9. Thanks for that!

:hug:

[Vinca]

10. What we need is a chapter of Assholes Anonymous here.

My name is Vinca and I'm an asshole.:rofl:

[helderheid]

12. HI VINCA!

:hi: :rofl:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

56. Can we call you Periwinkle, as well? They're the same flower.

Periwinkle is sort of like lavender but it has more blue in it than plain lavender was.

[Vinca]

64. I've got periwinkle growing in front of my house.

That's where "Vinca" came from. It sounded better than pachysandra.:rofl:

[Elidor]

11. I've never seen you behave badly

A little snark and some cartoons hardly constitute assholery. The bar is really pretty high around here.

[helderheid]

13. Aw, thanks - but still, I'm sorry for any salt I've poured into wounds.

[Forkboy]

18. Back so soon?

[Coexist]

gee - I wonder what your post said before the edit!

Helderheid - thats really nice of you. I'm guilty of being one too. But if we didn't have political passion, none of us would be here!

[BlooInBloo]

24. Wow - if that's what apologies get you, I'm glad I haven't.

27. The reincarnation period has already started. How do you like the new body?

Welcome back. n/t

47. When did you join DU? Oh TODAY?

How can you possibly comment on something you have no idea about? Try donating to DU. The do a search for HH's posts during her YEARS on DU. Then come back and pretend that you found a clue. Otherwise take your troll ass somewhere else.

[walldude]

How many obscure news stories have you dug up for DU? How many impeachment threads have you posted? How many anti-Bush diatribes have you written? How many Democrats have you stood up for? These threads came from over 40 pages of threads HH posted just in the last couple years. She's earned the right to be an asshole and then apologize for it without having to take shit from some self-righteous faux-victimized troll. Pwned.

[helderheid]

90. WOW

Thank you.

just wow.

:loveya:

[helderheid]

92. thanks again for this. I have to say that this was my proudest moment:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x799674

I will die happy because of this. Thank goodness for us DUers who made it possible. The ones on the front lines in DC deserve major kudos and love.

38. It's very puckery. pwned.

:rofl:

[Forkboy]

20. You've been nicer than most. This is a nice gesture, but I wouldn't worry about it.

Compared to many of us you're a saint. :)

[helderheid]

22. WOW. St. Helderheid of DU. :D

:evilgrin:

[Eurobabe]

21. Assholiry

[SaveAmerica]

62. I know, right? Does that have something to do with the Pope?

[Nitrogenica]

25. Understandable. It's been a divide and conquer startegy to win for some.

I find dividing us to be quite difficult to deal with. There are huge differences between us and Freeperville, and these differences don't seem quite so stark anymore.

May 20th I remove all my ignores.

YOU ASSHOLE YOU
(lyrics by Doug Heywood)

Well it came to me as you came
You don't even know my name
You'd just as soon be fucking a doorknob
You asshole you
You'll fuck anything that moves
And Ill tell you what that proves
You just want meat, you don't want me
you asshole you
Well you wish that I was stronger
And could last a little longer
I get so mad that I could spit
I don't need that kind of shit
Well you toy with my affection
And you laugh at my erection
And it's like a circumsection
You asshole you

[Laurab]

93. OMG someone else knows that song, too!

I'm guessing a Jackson Browne bootleg? That song has always cracked me up!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

29. Ooga Booga Smooga Wooga.

No. You ain't an asshole. I'mmmmmmm an asshole. You? Nah.... C'mon now.

[helderheid]

31. Assholes of DU, unite?

:P

[SoFlaJet]

34. what did ignored just say

[helderheid]

39. No need to ignore OMC, originator of the OOGA BOOGA SMOOGA WOOGA!

[BlooInBloo]

36. Bah. You're not an asshole - I'MMMM an asshole!

:rofl:

[rock]

30. As long as you don't try to claim to be

a bigger asshole than me, it's okay.

[crankychatter]

40. I wouldn't admit that unless it was going to make me look good

don't expect me to follow suit

you know... abstinence is it's own reward.

[helderheid]

41. What can I say

other than I do love your sig line.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

43. I'd apologize also...

but then I would ruin my reputation.

You're all good in my book! :pals:

[murielm99]

44. Shame on you.

It's spelled "assholery."

:hug:

We'll get through this.

61. I was looking for a video

Where Bugs Bunny says "You're a jerk." and Daffy says "I'm a jerk? I'm a jerk?!?" and Bugs holds up a sign that says "It's jerk season" and Elmer Fudd reads that and blows Daffy's beak off. It's not on youtube though, I guess those newer ones are still copyrighted. This one's kinda funny though

95. I'm off to bed but will check it out :)

[Cheap_Trick]

49. somewhere, Dennis Leary is singing

(Spoken)
Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American dream.
About me, about you, about the way our American hearts beat way down
in the bottom of our chests. About that special feeling we get in the
cockles of our hearts, maybe below the cockles, maybe in the subcockle
area. Maybe in the liver. Maybe in the kidneys. Maybe even in the
colon, we don't know.

(Sung)
I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job.
I'm your average white suburbanite slob.
I like football and porno and books about war.
I got an average house with a nice hardwood floor.

My wife and my job, my kids and my car.
My feet on my table...and a cuban cigar.

But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested
no way
No, I've gotta go out and have fun at someone else's expense
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I drive really slow in the ultra-fast lane,
While people behind me are going insane.

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

I use public toilets and I piss on the seat,
I walk around in the summertime saying "How about this heat?"

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces,
While handicapped people make handicapped faces.

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong...

NAAAAH!

I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole

(Spoken)
Know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado
Convertible, hot pink, with whaleskin hubcaps and all-leather cow
interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights... yeah! And I'm
gonna drive around in that baby at 115 miles per hour, getting 1 mile
per gallon, suckin' down quarter pound cheeseburgers from McDonald's
in the old-fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers and when
I'm done suckin' down those greaseball burgers I'm gonna wipe my mouth
on the American Flag and then I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers
right out the side, and there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can
do about it. You know why? Because we got the bombs, that's why Two
words: Nuclear fuckin' weapons, OK? Russia, Germany, Romania, they
can have all the democracy they want...they can have a big democracy
cakewalk right through the middle of Tienamen Square and it won't make
a lick of difference, because we got the bombs, OK? John Wayne's not
dead, he's frozen! And as soon as we find a cure for cancer, we're
gonna thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know
why? Have you ever taken a cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15
million times, that's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be.
I'm gonna get the Duke and John Casavetti and Lee Marvin

and Sam Peckinpaw

and a case of whisky

and drive to Texas...(HEY, HEY HEY! You know, you really are an asshole!)



Why don't you shut up and sing the song, pal?

(Sung)
I'm an asshole
I'm an asshole
A S-S H-O L-E
Everybody, A S-S H-O L-E
Arf, Arf Arf, Arf Arf, Arf Arf
Thoomph A-thoom-thoom A-thoom-thoom A-thoom-thoom
Oooooooo

(Spoken)
I'm an asshole and I'm proud of it .









Amen to this being over soon.

[helderheid]

51. A S-S H-O L-E Everybody, A S-S H-O L-E

:rofl:

[shadowknows69]

52. I know I have been too

But I'm not ready to be sorry about it quite yet. :evilgrin:

[CreekDog]

57. I'm sorry for taking pleasure in it

:rofl:

[gkhouston]

58. how dare you

be an asshole during posts I didn't get to read. Wonder if the search function is working today...

[madfloridian]

59. I am not sorry yet for anything.

I am a worse one than you, and I refuse to apologize after what they have put my state through, and because I don't want to be called an elitist egghead.

[helderheid]

60. Heeey.

I am an elitist egghead. Well, maybe. :P

[dchill]

68. "elitist egghead" says way more about the...

insulter than the insultee. IMHO.
:hi:

[SaveAmerica]

63. Hey Helderheid:

That's sweet of you, I haven't seen any behavior that was bad from you; you're not on my 'list' or my mental ignore. But you know yourself and if you feel you've acted outside your norm, that's good of you to apologize. Hey, while we're at it, when I first joined DU I said your Avatar looked like a dilated cervix, I apologize for that, it was late and night and I was sleep deprived. Kumbaya. Apologies all around

:toast:

Just wanted to edit to say that your avatar at the time was something different and I am not - repeat not - saying that Obama looks like a dilated cervix. Oy vey, the apologizing I would have to do.

[SoCalDem]

66. Snark is ALWAYS ok

from a fellow-snarkisiac :)

I don't even know which candidate you supported..I never kept score or even tried to..

snark is always ok in my book :)

[Toucano]

67. Good for you.

Don't let it happen again! :)

[Crunchy Frog]

69. You? I don't believe you. Can you provide links documenting this claim?

:)

[H2O Man]

70. I think that

you are great.

[helderheid]

86. coming from you?

WOW! I am honored!!! H20 you are an inspiration!

[H2O Man]

106. And you are

one the the reasons that DU is the best internet discussion forum. Your contributions are very important. Please keep up the great work.

[jillan]

71. YOU -----

have always been one of my favorite posters at DU before all of this.

I've read some of your posts and noticed your passion, and didn't think twice about it.

Wasn't it you that organized sending all those flowers to Helen Thomas?

Nobody could ever be mad at someone like you.

[helderheid]

73. You just made me cry.

Damn you!

:hug:

[helderheid]

75. I've offended only 1 so far WOW.

[Jamastiene]

76. Nice post, asshole.

I couldn't resist. :rofl:

[helderheid]

80. LOL!

:hug:

[calimary]

77. You have?

When?

I hadn't noticed!

I remember when you took a break for a bit, but you're back and we have the benefit of your views! We're all the richer for it.

:hi:

[mod mom]

78. I've never thought you've acted assholish!

:hi:

[Swamp Rat]

79. I look forward to your posts.

:D

[helderheid]

81. HOLY HELL!

What would DU be without your brilliant graphics?!??!

[Samantha]

82. as have we all been from time to time

so you are not alone. DU does that to any non-asshole-type occasionally - it's so ... provocative. That's especially true of this forum. So don't give it another thought.

Sam

[helderheid]

83. Thanks, Sam!

[phrigndumass]

84. " " :)

:pals: :hug:

[bridgit]

85. You have? I haven't noticed. But even *if* you have not to worry...

There's plenty of other assholes round here willing to take up the slack ;) :thumbsup:

[K8-EEE]

88. I really haven't noticed but will take your word for it

I think it's nice now that things are cooling down in the primary, that we all sort of reconnect with our common goal...

[helderheid]

89. this has been a tough one.

[caligirl]

91. I'm sure the quality of many of your posts since I joined in 04 will

make up for anything. But I don't recall you being an a-hole? are you sure? I've always thought highly of you/.

[KSinTX]

94. Beauty of being sorta new

I'm not aware of anything from you that was hurtful, but I know I've been snippy and am happy to cut it out. :toast:

[helderheid]

96. snippy works and WELCOME!!!

[JCMach1]

97. Time to wipe and flush

EOM

[helderheid]

98. DUDE

This is on the greatest page

[bleever]

99. I'm glad I missed it

because I still think that you're good enough, and smart enough, and that doggone it: we like you.

[helderheid]

100. !

[bleever]

102. That picture looks very Minnesota-ey.

Hey, we're outside!

It's warmer!

Let's have our coffee outside, until this cold wind says we should go inside!


I want Al to have Wellstone's seat, after the repubs stole it from Mondale after Paul died.

[Solon]

101. I'm an unrepetent asshole...

I really don't like stupidity, and this board is infected with it.

Compared to me, you aren't an asshole at all!

[Spiffarino]

103. Bygones

Everybody has moments of assholishness. I'm probably more guilty than most.

In the end, we're all sick to death of being screwed by Republicans, and that will probably be enough to bring us back to normal.

Cheers to you! :beer:

[ruggerson]

104. You never struck me that way at all

There's a few hundred ahead of you in that regard.

[BobTheSubgenius]

105. Frank sez.....

You say you can't live with what you've been through
Well, ladies you can be an asshole too

I'd say that someone who'd start this thread isn't very good at assholery. :D

[shaniqua6392]

107. It was nice of you to apologize.

I hope I never have to apologize for behaving badly in my defense of a politician though. I can understand defending my family and those I love. But to alter my behavior into something that I later have to apologize for because of any politician running for office? In any case, I am glad that some of those who have inflicted harm on their fellow Democrats here at DU are at least sorry about it. :hug:
