I am "peanut butter boxers" guy.
When I did this, I took extensive care to make it a joke, yet for the most part lend to a movie theme. Before sending it, I PMed Barnes, who at the time thought it was hilarious, and at the time defended me. Now I'm a "jerk who sent a potentially harmful substance in the mail"? Sorry. I call BS. I cannot fathom how essentially a contained (by contained I mean the "offensive items" were in a SEALED ZIPLOC) were potentially harmful, but I do see possibly "distasteful". At the same time, I did feel awful about the whole thing, and many times just wanted to settle up with the recipient. So no, this was not FUN for me. Call me a stick in the mud.
Mr. Barnes mentioned "calling people out". I call myself out, as well as this whole farce of a Secret Santa. Just put in the rule no perishable items and no moldy stuff and be done with it. How can a cup of peanut butter inside a (new pair of boxers by the way, let's get that out of the way too) be more harmful than mold (which I had gotten in the past)?
Again, I feel bad about it, which is never the intention, and had to "keep quiet" because of the secret part, yet had to hear about the whole thing on Facebook as well as the Fortress boards. Well, now let the holiday bloodbath ensue. I still defend what I did at the time given the rules in place. So who's the jerk now?
Anyone directly involved in my involvement in this feel free to PM me, or respond on the boards if you want. I truly don't care any more.

Then again I'm a filthy slob who's lived in the woods as much as in the city.

Yeah I thought It was funny but Repoman- and others- didn't. So I sided with them too. I saw both sides of it.
What are you upset about anyway,It's become an in-joke, an F:AT legend. Hell, it's a fucking holiday tradition to bring that up again.
Turnout is low this year anyway, more of a low key event. You are welcome to give it another chance, il set you up with Pete...he loves dirty drawers.

But I also heard from other folks that were pretty pissed about it, and this is a community event. And to be fair, if you're the guy that gets that and everybody else gets SOMETHING half decent...that's kind of crap. Because of that incident and because of what folks said to me in private I started having a few more rules.

I was mostly pissed my identity wasn't out in the open. If people are truly upset at me or something I did, I want to deal with them directly; it is the union rep in me. The "secret" part always annoyed me. So people now know its me, and can deal with the "jerk" directly if they are still upset with it (old news at this point).
As I said, I'm out. You don't have to pair me up with Pete. We exchange drawers every time I go to his house yearly.
