79. What else should you expect.
Let me give you a situation--

When teaching I have 3 simple rules for my students.

The Three R's

Rational Thought
Respect for other peoples opinions
Responsibility for one's actions or lack thereof.


Your post and now this one apologizing broke all three of those rules in one way or another. Intended or no-- an apology does not suffice for many. You'll just have to accept the responsibility and the ramifications.

It's part of life and we all have to grow up and realize that we don't get "do overs" when we want.

The internet might be "the ether" but you're dealing with human beings all the same. We all have little if any clue about what people are dealing with on a day to day basis-- we all come here in support of various candidates and many take the process quite seriously.

The purging thread was quite wrong.
The apology thread might be accepted by some and rejected by others.


You will just have to live with that. It's called life.

I, for one, do not accept your apology. I do not think you even begin to understand the effects of the thread on many people.

This is not a game or a competition.
