Scott, one of your posts this evening caused me to step back and
consider something.

You and I have exchanged barbs many times on this newsgroup and disagree
about many things.

One thing I didn't realize however is how you apparently take some of my
comments to heart. Believe it or not most of them are intended to be
light-hearted but I now realize you may be taking them personally and
seriously.

Maybe it's the other than the 'most' that might cause some hard
feelings.

It has never been my intent to cause you any anxiety or to make you
uncomfortable in a lasting way. If I have, please accept my sincere
apology.

Does this refer to 'most' of the time?

I enjoy lively debates and sometimes can get a little caustic.
It's nothing personal. It's the debate.




Those comments were directed to Scott. Not you.


They appear pretty public.

Forgot to ask, do debates cause you to personal attacks?



Occasionally in response to being called an asshole or the "**** you"
that comes along sometimes. Also when comments are taken totally out of
context or simply falsely stated or attributed.

Why do you ask?


Why did you ask what year I retired?

I asked because there has been a notable change in your behavior
lately. You've gone from very respectable to very Toadish, in my
opinion. But, as you say, if I don't like it, "Tough ****."
