OK, I'll admit that I was in a foul mood last night, that had nothing at all to do with this board.
And while I *thought* that my initial post was meant to provoke discussion, rather than flames; apparently I was wrong. I thought some folk were mis-reading my posts, others thought I was mis-reading theirs.
I fully acknowledge that the initial hostility was on my part.
I hope you'll forgive. If it will help, here's the recitation I learned in school.
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
I really have nothing against any of you, and would quite like to become a part of the community here.
Did I start off on the wrong foot? Well, yes, obviously.
What I had meant as an observation, sounded like an attack. And that is my fault, and I accept that.
Was it all my fault? No. I got "gang-banged", clowned, and belittled. Belive me, that isn't my personal kink. When I get attacked, I attack back.
But I DO appologize for my part in starting it. (especially to Cheyenne. I still think she was wrong, but I was far too harsh in my posts to her).
Anyway, this is about the best I can do by way of apology to those I refered to as "hostile, bitter senior members".
I am sorry, and would like to start fresh, if I may.
