There should be a group for apologies because I owe one: So Sorry Rule of Claw

I was pretty slow tonight and missed a clever post by Rule of Claw about the debate. I questioned him/her thinking they were saying Kamala was losing the debate when in fact they were saying just the opposite. My doing so likely encouraged others to do the same and the original post was deleted.

I noticed Rule of Claw is pretty new to posting here and I sincerely hope my dense moment doesn’t stop him/her sharing their sharp wit with us in the future.

I missed what you're referring to, but apologies are important, useful, and civil.

The funny posts that start out as an opposite can be unsettling. I think it is annoyingly passive aggressive.

But, if you fell for it and over reacted. I hope you would also include this in a private message. It's always nice to see something pop up in the inbox.

I've been reading for a while, but Romney made me post.

I do not post often because I tend to tell people to fuck off at the slightest provocation. I'm not a fan of condescension and a lot of people are condescending as fuuuuccckkk..

Knowing this, I restrain myself from calling people out or stirring shit.

I missed it and we all make mistakes. It takes a strong person to make a heartfelt apology.
