By the way, I don't mince words either!

No Mark,

GW is right, he is owed an apology which I've made here publicly since it was brought up publicly and also privately since I offended him privately.

The last time I made an ass of myself, I was all too willing to come right out and explain what had happened, and that it was a mixture of confusion and ignorance rather than intentional ass making on my part.

True.

Bruno and X can both confirm this.
Most times these things are just a simple misunderstanding.
One I had with Bruno was little more than a failure to separate two thoughts from each other.

True as well, and it was quickly sorted out.

Lets all let this issue die. Like I have said before to another, this issue is just lather down the sink (shaving forum's equivalent to water under the bridge). Steve is staying, and I'm endowed like a horse.

That's all that matters.

I love the lather down the sink thing

So how about that stock market ?

I got robbed the other day ---just a weed eater --no biggy.

No hurricanes yet -- hope we don't get hit this season.

Wow ---- ever see those little kids dying of cancer --

I think a couple people got killed in a car accident down the road

Give me a freaking break fellas --- let's get over ourselves ---next topic.

P.S. If there is anything that would make me leave a forum it would be seeing grown intelligent men not being able to keep things in perspective and acting like the world revolves around them

So gentlemen --- I hear erect spines, big balls, and stiff upper lips fit well with the male gender --- shall we give it a try.

In my original post that started this firestorm, I have realized that I made some comments that, while didn't single Ilija out by name, was pretty clear about whom they spoke.

Ilija, I'm sorry. I see those comments as rude and ignorant and a better person would not have made them.

No apology needed Steve. However, let me extend my apologies for the comment i made in GWH's thread. It was kinda jacka$$ish.

Nah, like I've said before. Plain speech is often a good kick in the pants and that is needed sometimes.

Thank you, though.

You see guys. I told you he was human!

I'm sure some of you may have thought I was overreacting, but I think not.

It wasn't really about who was right at all.

It was about who was wrong.

I'm satisfied with the apology, he sent one privately too, but I hope that everyone understands that his failure to disclose this on his own does still cheapen his words somewhat.

That is what I had originally thought and was pleased that my "pep talk" hadn't fallen on deaf ears.
Until I checked my email, then it could have just been a cheap shot at me since no one knew of the email. Sounds reasonable right? Make an inflammatory statement in private and then use the same wording in public to taunt your adversary?

3. Being a hypocrite in that I made a post that did exactly what I condemn others for doing
4. Being ready (and threatening) to leave the forum instead of acting like a man and working any issues out in an adult manner
5. Posts and email sent while still too hot-headed to make them in a civilizes manner

What more can I do?

Well from my perspective I would say that you could remain on here as a productive and friendly member.
I harbor no resentment over any of this and am glad you are man enough to have come right out and called a spade a spade.
I do wish however that you had the balls to do it on your own, instead of making me take you to task over it.

God knows I work around people every day who would rather shoot you than admit to being wrong.
I find the level of personal accountability these people hold themselves to to be disgusting and was a little alarmed at the thought that this culture might be creeping in here.
