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.

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.

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

Backpeddling at its best......

Like you backpeddeled when I traveled up to your backyard and called you out, two years ago.

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

Does this refer to 'most' of the time?

Those comments were directed to Scott. Not you.

Herring is still upset with you because you don't subscribe to his
concept of no gun laws.



Tough ****. His expressed idea for responsible gun control is for all
the states to adopt the root'in-toot'in policies of his home state of
Virginia.

They appear pretty public.

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

Me upset 'cause you didn't change your opinion? And you buy that? What
a joke. Of course, Toad said it, so in your mind it must be true.

I didn't start the caustic comments and not-so-subtle attacks in the
gun control discussion. I couldn't care less what controls you want.
They would do nothing but make government bigger. They sure as hell
wouldn't solve the shooting problems in Chicago, Flint, New Orleans,
Detroit, etc.

You have yet to come up with a decent argument, but you fail to
respond to opposing arguments put forth.

Sad, truly sad. (Where have I heard that before?)

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 ****."
