I MADE A HORRIBLE MISTAKE!

Yesterday, I posted an insulting message about, I thought, Chump. BUT, unfortunately, instead I posted on a thread about Al Franken! Under the circumstances my post was correctly removed, but I just want to explain that it was a stupid mistake. Don't know how it happened, except that I was probably looking at two different threads, and (too) quickly posted on the wrong one.

This is especially horrifying to me because I adore Al Franken. He is one of my heros!

It looked like a Franken bashing post. People were correct alerting on it. I did send adms. a message about my mistake, but haven't heard back from them. Anyway, I really wanted to explain what happened to my DU friends.

.... as far as I can tell it didn't count against me. The system keeps count of your crimes and misdemeanors and then something awful happens if you hit some number. But in that case it wasn't a jury thing. It was a clear "you broke the rule and we're removing it."

I bet only a small amount of posters did. It's upsetting to realize you posted in the wrong place but it's an easy mistake to make, just let it go and don't stress about it anymore.

Some of us didn't see your mistake. I would have been horrified as well.

Please remember my post if I ever make the same mistake.
