Big lesson learned today.

Andy Greschner reallllllly acted like a dick, and has tasted the fruits of his idiocy.

I realize that many people will not read this, and nobody may care, but if I may explain myself:

At the time of my post, I was unaware of the tragic deaths and floodings that had occurred due to my occupation being out of news/cell service for most of the day.

I was frustrated with ...some shenanigans that go on with cross-provincial traffic, and meant my comments as an inside joke to BC'ers in regards to Albertan vacationers. I am sure that Albertans have the same inside jokes in regards to British Columbian tourists, and that as Canadians, we all have a bit of a friendly, if not heated at times, rivalry. I did not expect the kind of response that was received, wrong or right, and feel deeply sorry for any kind of trauma that I have caused.

As a human being, I feel deeply apologetic for the effects my comments have caused, and will take this into account in the future. To that end, any comments I have made do not reflect on any of my employers, past or present. Any statements made are my own, and do not reflect the opinions of anyone but myself.

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by this event, as do my apologies. I understand other people's frustrations and aggravations to my comments, and now, better than ever, I understand the ramifications of social media. I also understand that social media holds no prisoners, whether they deserve it or not. To that end, this account will be deleted.

In conclusion, I apologize for my comments, however misinformed they may have been. I hope the best for all those affected. I also hope that people understand that I have no ill-intents towards anybody.

Social media... who knew?

Sincerely,

Andy Greschner

I thought the bolded parts were particularly lame.
