An Apology

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by William769 (a host of the DU Community Help forum).

I can't post for an hour because I responded "over the top" to a right-wing troll in the General Discussion thread.

My multiple responses in that thread included rancid, off-color, language and cursing suitable only for a bar brawl, or... for a life and death struggle.

You see friends, I am one of the local Freeport supporters for the 170 Sensata employees whose jobs Mitt Romney wants to send to Red China.

I spend between 4 and 8 hours every day out there at the tent city, appropriately named Bainport, helping man the phone banks getting the word out, and organizing events at the encampment.

Freeport is my home, and it is being murdered - literally - right before my eyes... right before the nation's eyes.

So I freely admit, holding back ANYTHING at this stage seems... strategically unsound.

My town is being killed, strangled, and I certainly did respond "over the top".

To those here whom that offends... I apologize.

I don't know what else to do.
