Not that I want to bash the OP any further, but I think you might want to reread his post.
Usually, when you regret something and you want to apologise, you don't describe your actions in a way that make you seem you have fond memories/you were enjoying yourself/you're proud of what you've done and then at the end, add a sidenote that you apologise for it.
Yeah, this thread wasn't really needed, but I think we can all agree that there were tons of other, better ways one could write it down.
Oh, no! I have no doubts that he doesn't regret his actions =b IMO, the apology is sincere insofar as he didn't MEAN to seriously bother anyone. The actions were for his personal amusement, not for the actual discomfiture of others (which is what trolling really is, and deriving entertainment from said discomfiture).
To me, this thread says that he wanted to convey that he wasn't TRYING to upset people. For some, intentions matter. For others, only results. The latter will remain upset (if they were before), while the former might cut him some slack. Thus he doesn't really lose anything posting this... except that people who weren't there are now casting judgment, AND the whole thing is going beyond a moment of silliness and becoming a topic of public forum debate (to the surprise of exactly no one).
That's why I say I'm not sure if it was a good idea. It kinda comes off more as rubbing salt in existent wounds than anything, even though that wasn't the intent.
