While I haven't slept for 36 hours, I am seeing myself more clearly than I have in years.
I don't like what I see.
I've been shallow, selfish, egotistical, rude, self-centered, arrogant, pushy, domineering. inconsiderate, cold, and not a team player. In essence A jerk!
I need to get sober so I can see myself this clearly without the help of others.
I apologize to all of you for my behavior. Particularly: Mike, Tom, Dave, Hugman, Sarah, Bonnie, Bob and anyone else I may have hurt, insulted, slighted, mocked (this is making me sick to my stomach). For a guy who claims to care about the truth, I sucked at seeing it in myself, until now.
I won't be bothering you anymore. I have a lot of soul-searching, hard work and growing up to do.
I humbly ask all of you for your forgiveness.
I want to express my gratitude to all of you for snapping my eyes open.
Once again, I am sorry for what I did in this beautiful community.
I going to do my best to make amends.
Forgive me.

What the heck?
-
Wait, what?
edit: If this is about getting sober, a 12-step thing, then of course, you've got my support. But from where I'm sitting, you've only ever helped the show, and the community.
-
Yeah, Frux!
I don't feel like I saw any of this behavior you're referring to so I can't feel on board with you running yourself out of town.
Also, what in the jeebus are you doing up for 36 hours straight? You're not gonna think clearly in that state.
-
Fredericks,
You are loved by me and many others on this board. I think your contributions have been a good thing here and on the air!
Take good care of yourself...you are one of the good guys!
-
I couldn't agree more with what's been said. I'll keep you in my prayers as you go through this journey, but there's no need, as far as I can see, for you to step away from the community.

Freds, get some sleep.

Yes. Exactly.
-
Thanks for the kind words everybody. I'm better now. Just have a couple evil ghosts that come around periodically, particularly when I don't sleep for a day or so. They look just like my parents.
-
Get some sleep and do what you have to do.
Just don't wander off too far.
-
Just want to echo what has already been said and echoed. fonpr you are a great addition to the show and the FOT community. Good luck with everything and know that FOTs have got your back. I will burn an Xmas tree in your honor, sir!
-
Fredricks, you seem like a great guy I would enjoy sharing a sandwich with. I'm rooting for you!

Yes. Exactly.
Fredericks, know that you are always in possession of our support! You've brought so much to the FOT community/TBSOWFMU and I appreciate you for who you are.
-
Seeya!
-
Fredericks?
You're All Right!!!

After a horrifying night of hyper-vivid terror dreams, I awoke with this upon my chest!

This explains a lot.

Oh. That's where I left it.
Anyway, I am a big fan, Fredericks. And I support your appreciation of 1970's and 1980's George Carlin stand-up! Never stop calling! Never stop being part of the FOT community!

Fredericks,
While I am perfectly willing to start an on-air feud for the sake of entertainment, I love you and your contribution to the show. Take care of yourself, but don't vanish forever, man. We need you!

Dave, I just gave you a super, juicy, virtual kiss on your third eye. I know you can feel it.
Love,
Fredericks
p.s. Don't tell a soul.
-
I forgive you, Fredericks. But I'm not sure what for. :-*
-
Just repeating what everyone else says. And It also sounds like just your being too hard on yourself. Get better. I look forward to future calls from Newport Richey.
-
It's going to take a lot of time for the wounds you inflicted on me to heal, Fredericks, and the fact that you left me off your apology list isn't helping. But moving forward, I think we can clear the decks and make a new start of things.
PS, I named an offstage character in my new play after you.

I'm catching a distinct aroma of irony, right now.
I like it.
Thanks Grote~
-
Fredericks, it's not your fault.
-
What about buffcoat?
-
Yes. It's buffcoat's fault. It's always buffcoat's fault.
-
Yes. It's buffcoat's fault. It's always buffcoat's fault.
Ah, finally, the reality emerges.

Sorry I didn't jump on the Fredricks bandwagon earlier, but please know that you are awesome! And your laugh cracks me up...please don't go away forever! :D
-
Nothing like 30+ hrs without sleep to bring out the monsters.
I think you're great, Fredricks. Feel better.
-

Thanks Spoony, I feel not just okay, I feel great.
Took me a while to accept how lucky I am to be a part of this community.
Long history of good things being snatched from me. Not everything, but a lot.
I got it now, and I feel better than fine.

You don't have to worry about us being snatched away from you; and hopefully no one will snatch you from us!
-
Ha! Snatch...
-
I am so Sorry.

I am so Sorry.
All is forgiven, Barack!
