Subject: Apology

I want to offer my heartfelt apologies for a particular comment I made yesterday, especially to anyone who took it on a personal level. Badly chosen words, written in haste as I was leaving work, and admittedly over the top even for me.

I'm ready now for my fifty lashes with the tagliatelle grande.

Has the world come to an end? Bear I thought this is what your disclaimer was for. You need an LLC

Cool Bear, you're back in my good graces. By the way, your comments are usually encouraging and a fun read.

Wasn't directed at you. The Wham sentencing still must be served.

I get the feeling there are going to be a lot of BT'ers who think this apology was meant for them I'll have to go back and see how it applies to me.

It takes a big man to admit when he is wrong. We are all guilty of saying or doing things at times that may offend others, however, not many of us take the time apologize for our mistakes. You are a good man, John.

You are absolved my son ... now, as an act of contrition, recite the lyrics from "White Bicycle", ten times and "Les Bicyclettes de Belsize" twenty times. :-)

Le mot "French" devrait avoir un "F" majuscule mon cher Tom!  Et non, je ne commençerai pas a parler en Français içi.

Bear,
I found the post in question and have to admit that it even shocked the hell out of me....I ain't judging in any way cuz god knows there's been times I've posted stuff on this board where I went back, reread it and cringed...rushed to delete it, hit the button and those big red letters that told me it's been 31 minutes and I couldn't delete it popped up and I was screwed....d'oh!

Just want to acknowledge what you did here....takes a big person to do that...something I can learn from...your advice and comments are 99.9% sound and even funny so keep 'em up.

Don't sweat the lettuce bear. My first impression was "ultra-grumpy-bear," but everyone has those moments - you know, the moments where you think something, the room goes quiet and you suddenly realise "I said that out loud, didn't i?" You have enough of a history here that anyone who knows you, knows that's not who you are.

But the way, what are you doing on the Internet? It's winter - aren't you supposed to be hibernating or something??

He said, "The word "french" should be spelled with a capital 'F' my dear Tom!  And no, I will not start speaking French here."   Boy, with this thread and the earlier one on vocabulary, we should be getting an honorary degree of some sort!!  How erudite!

It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong.

But it takes an even bigger man to laugh at that man...
