    List them here, as you resolve to do better in the future.

    The first thing that occurs to me is a discussion about the derivative nature of many American films. When someone brought up The Departed, I objected pretty strongly, insisting that it was inspired by the story of Whitey Bulger. Ender Sai later responded with evidence that while it had borrowed elements of the Bulger case, the primary source was the Korean film Internal Affairs.

    I don't recall exactly what I said in response. But the more honorable choice would have been to acknowledge my error more fully than I did, and thank him for the education. My failure is stark. I hope it is clear to all of you that my comportment did not meet the standards of those JCers I most admire. I hope to do better in the future, and encourage any of you to call me on this if I refuse to surrender after having clearly lost. The good man knows defeat.

    What do you all regret?

    I regret hurting people when I reacted out of fear when it was not necessary. I hate being human sometimes.

    Regret is a feeling and feelings are for losers.

    I regret I didn't get to this thread to make the same joke before Jello.

    Oh, wait, that's for next year's thread.

    I wanted to do a parody but have been busy and haven't had a chance, Japes.

    Wocky, it was a Hong Kong film. Not Korean.

    Let's see if this regret business actually pays dividends by seeing how Wocky responds to this correction from Ender Sigh.

    I regret that I didn't do enough to get a mention in the Jabba-wocky anniversary thread.

    Don't forget the part where your actions also shut down the JC fb page.

    I called a grocery store in Nebraska to end an argument about how sampling grapes was stealing (it's not).

    Why didn't you call a local one? What's special about one in Nebraska?

    Would you eat an apple in the store before buying a bunch of them?
