This should clear things up.

I'm not seeing something here regarding that he was a jerk somehow.  What am I missing, seriously?

One lady was reall pizzy during IM Moo registration on Fri., two days before the race, and there were 2 participants that were VERY persistant on NOT WANTING TO BE TOUCHED AND LEFT ALONE!!!

(Stating this in a "just saying", "just the facts" tone) Technically, the red sarc font is Jeez, what a jerk which is using the HTML code "[ sarc ]" and "[ / sarc ]" (without quotes and spaces), or manually editing the phrase using the red color and the Italic font (Ctrl + I).  The phrase was only using a red font.  Technically, different.

My first paragraph was asking a question.

The second paragraph was informing an actual encounter that I experienced with a non-pro participant.

It appears that we aren't all feeling like we are understand each other.  Anything else we need to clarify? (non-sarcastic)

kellc09 - 2008-09-16 8:59 AM Doesnt sound like he did anything other than give them some props. Which they TOTALLY deserved after that day. Not that they dont in any race they volunteer for, but it seriously had to suck even more to stand out there all day in that crap

Just ask me about IM Moo 2006!  I'm glad I stayed out that day to help!

Wow. Yes, i was joking. I was really cool of the pro to come and talk to the volunteers at their post race party/meeting. The way I read the article was he gave a tounge-in-cheek apology to the volunteers as a way of thanking them for their efforts and acknowledging the behavoir of some of the athletes.

As far as the italic/red font blunder, I can only say I thought the red would be enough and didn't realize I had to italicize it as well. Jeez, what a jerk.

OK. I'll bite. I'll start another thread so as not to hijack this one.
