Mechilah Request (cross-posted)

[Typo Lad]

I just got back from afternoon services for the eve of Yom Kippur, where I said a special prayer called Viduy. In Viduy one lists the transgressions one has made (Not specifics, it's a formula with each line covering a multitude of naughtiness).

As I went down the list, I made a mental note of how many could apply to my behavior online on occasion. I've lost my temper, baited people, fallen through on promises, lied, ignored and just generally... been ungood to people. I think this was worse here, when it was a mod-free zone.

I'm a bad person at my core. I know this. Because of this, I try to fight my Worse nature. While I feel I did a little better offline this year, I feel I really must ask for Mechilah (forgiveness) from my CBR friends. I've done this ever year for a decade now, but this in one of the few times I can think of more than one reason why I need to ask.

If I have, in any way, slighted you in this last year, even if it was not deliberate, I ask your forgiveness.

Thanks you and may we all be inscribed in The Book of Life.

In my opnion, you are one of the more resonable, more respectable on this board. I would say nicer too, but the standard is raised high on this board. You have nothing to apologize for in my opinion.

Nothing you've ever written has offended me, so no worries. :)

I couldn't say it any better.

You've never said anything to me that offended me, or at least nothing I remember. I think highly of you for your religious observations and that you made this request.

I can't think of any instance of you wronging me, but if you did, no worries.

Out of curiosity, and maybe this would be better in the Ask a Jew thread, but what happens if people truly feel that they have been slighted and don't forgive you?

then I goes to HELL.

then I goes to HELL.

Yikes. If that is the consequence, then you'll always have forgiveness from me.

[Typo Lad]

Eh. I'm going anyway.

[TCJohnson]

I thought Jews didn't have hell.

[Shades0077]

Eh. I'm going anyway.

But this way I will be blame-free.

[Sabrinaset]

Eh. I'm going anyway.

Waaaait ... if you are anyways, then why ask for forgiveness to keep you from going there ....

Not eternal hell, anyway

Hell is on Earth, kids.

That's actually a real concept- that one comes back in a difficult life.
