    Exclamation Public Apology to Cleetus

    Lee,


    It has come to my attention - slowly, it's true - that I was not treating you as I should have these last few weeks.

    People close to me have indicated that there were certain problem in my behaviour and after a brief review, I now come to the same conclusion they did.

    The behaviour of others should not have affected my own, and their perception of me should never influence who it is I want to be as a man. I did not see myself changing in such a negative way.

    I am sorry for lashing out against you these last days and tinting my comments with anger and bitterness that should have been handled elsewhere and in a different manner. I apologize for any hardship this may have caused you, especially these these last days.

    Our differences in opinion are not resolved, but I do see how you are sincere in your own way. In fact, perhaps the reason I have difficulty in dealing with your "style" is because I was so much like you in a former life and it taints how I act with you.

    My intention was never to infer that those who believe differently than I in matters of spiritual beliefs are somehow inferior - but I realize that this is how it appeared when I spoke on the subject. I am very passionate on the topic of christianity and was/am ready to invest my life into it through study and the ministry. It's that important to me to live by what I believe.


    Out of respect, I'll keep out of your way and out of discussions involving religion and beliefs for the next while.
    Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. -Douglas Adams

    I didn't surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender. They have him pulling a wagon up in Kansas I bet.

    Wow, sorry about the delay is this reply. Getting absolutly swamped right now. Having a bad rash of dieing HD's

    Hey, apology 100% excepted man. Like I keep saying, I ain't anywhere close to perfect, wouldn't expect anyone else to be.

    We have different beliefs, but that shouldn't keep us from coexisting either. Heck, you should see some of my buddies and the heated arguements we get into. Knock down drag out stuff. In the end, it is the person not the subject.

    Like I said before, I know I am obnoxious, over the top, rude, annoying, etc. etc... Just like to hear that other people have some of the same faults I do...

    And in case I did a horrible job, and more then likely always do , I don't hate the person for having a differing view on religion, politics, sex, or favorite college football team, it is the view I attack, never the person. Please accept my apology, Adept or anyone else, if I came across wrong.

    Now come on down to Texas, I'm buyin'

    You know I was considering closing it, since everything that needed to be said has been... and of course it would stop the rabble trying to gain quicky wotpp points before the postcount experiment starts...

    So since you asked so nicely Ya_know... Thread Closed!
