An open apology

About 2 days ago I allowed nerd rage to get the best of me. 2 days ago I hurt people on this board and in the PAX IRC. Tonight, I wish to apologize.
Nomad: I had no right to explode at you; I had already been having a relatively crappy morning, and a crappier afternoon, and then when you made that tiny little dig at me, I made a mountain out of a Diglet mound. Im sorry if I offended you, hurt you, or otherwise made you angry. It certainly wasnt my intention, and I feel ashamed.
Moe: You gave me an infraction, something I deserved. Hell, I deserved a ban; But you just left it at an infraction. Tube locked the thread, something Im still rather pissed at, but oh well; Your rules, not mine. Then I QQ'd moar on the IRC, and after a while you kicked me. When I asked why, you gave me a reason I didnt agree with, so I cracked wise (intending for it to come off sarcastic, but as BigRed told me later, sarcasm doesnt translate well over the internet) and you banned me. Im sorry about that. I didnt intend for you to get offended.
Ashridah: Im sorry for digging on you too in the Protomen forum. By that point, I was in nerd rage overdrive.
BigRed: Im sorry for being a total n00b on your internets. Please dont eat me.
Eep: Thank you for the blunt counseling on my Facebook. I needed that.
Liger: Same. Thank you.
Eep and Liger: Im sorry to both of you for saying mean things about your friends like that.
Snickers: I need to put this delicately; Im sorry for being a flaming douche to you. BUT (And its a huge "but"), I felt like you were attacking me when I logged into the IRC and you started throwing hate at me like you did (Casual reader: By this point I had already apologized in IRC and the general consensus was I was a "silly goose", but I could stay (I suppose)). I AM sorry for how I reacted to that.
Since PAX 2009, Ive let a certain event get to my head and make me into some sort of pariah. It took me much too long to realize I was hurting the people I thought were my "friends".
Im done with that.
Take my apology or leave it. But regardless, Im making some changes to how I act and carry myself. Im gonna try to revert to how I was before the QnA panel at PAX; Ask Liger, she seemed okay with me then.
Later PA.

I think this thread was the right thing to make.
This thread will now be locked, as it is not directly PAX related, I hope you understand.
