I owe a few DUers an apology
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5331284&mesg_id=5331519
I have been preaching for weeks about negative threads and taking the high road and yesterday I lapsed.
I added to a thread that I shouldn't have added to and for that I apologize.
Using Broad brushes to paint an entire group of supporters instead of focusing on the individual or individuals who may have it coming is petty and lazy and If I have offended any supporters of Sen Clinton then please forgive me..

Peace

1. You know I did the exact same thing yesterday, went off
on a tangent. So I'm thinking about apologizing when I spot the thread about Obama sucking at bowling.. Then I came to my senses..

3. We are only human
The admin here have provided us with the tools we need to hide and ignore things that annoy us.
We need to learn to use them more

5. That's pretty mild
I really disliked those two guys anyway. That being said, I did masochistically enjoy sparring with them. They're the ones who made me institute the no DU after 10:00 p.m. rule.

7. I sparred with both and finally put them on ignore
My apology wasn't only for them .(Yes they were extremely annoying and probably had it coming).But it was for other DUers who didn't deserve it.
GD:p has felt pretty empty to me for weeks because of the nastiness and what did I do?
I contributed to it.
This is what I apologize for

8. That makes you a bigger person.
I had to do a similar mea culpa on Friday. That one got way out of control and I was sincerely sorry for bringing it up. Yet somehow after self-deleting the thread and doing another apology thread, some Clintonites still were trying to get me TS'd.

18. I'm guilty of that too. Thanks for this post; at least I'm not the only
one feeling remorse for some of my posts lately.

Peace.
