A Formal Apology.
To those of you who I may have offended. I came off as inapropriate, "ignorant" and "racist" to some of you. What I wrote did not come off as I intended. Instead of being passive, I wrote with anger because that is a topic that bothers me. However, thanks to my immaturity and quick reflexes to just blog about what I wanted because I didn't think anyone would read it, I wrote something that came off wrong. I do want to apologize because my intentions were not for people to point the finger at me by calling me "racist" or "ignorant" because that honestly is not the case. I simply wanted to get across that the topic bothered me. Apparently I started off on the wrong foot, but I would very much like to start over and be the more passive person I normally am. I sincerely apologize once again. And please, if you have nothing nice to say to my apology, don't say anything at all. I'm not here to argue. I'm apologizing from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks for the post. I really don't feel a formal apology was necessary, even though I was one of those who objected to your post. Welcome to the group. posted by

The print medium is ,at times ,very unforgiving. Tone and intent are very difficult to get across. Thanks for recognizing what you meant to say was not clear to some of us,and welcome to b.com. posted by

Very few people have the maturity to admit they are wrong. It is a refreshing air around here. posted by

So you rubbed people the wrong way? Is that what you're saying? No apology necessary, at least from me. We're all (mostly) adults around here, with thick skins. posted by

Very few people have the maturity to admit they are wrong. It is a refreshing air around here. Think how much more refreshing it will be when you apologize for saying homosexuality is a disease, Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult and spewing bald-faced lies like "When I first started reading these blogs atheist were busy posting their myths about Christians. For example, all religious persecution was done by Christians. All Christians are irrational, while atheist are always rational. Christians are weak and can not defend themselves." posted by

YOU SHOULDN'T APOLOGIZE FOR ANYTHING, YOU WERE NOT WRONG AND YOU WERE NOT RIGHT, YOU STATED YOUR OPINION AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. JUST LIKE THE PEOPLE THAT TOLD YOU TO EDUCATE YOURSELF. PEOPLE LOVE TO TALK ABOUT FREENESS OF SPEECH AND THEN CRITICIZE WHEN IT DOESN'T FALL IN LINE WITH THEIR OPINIONS.

Okay so massagebynichole can express her opinion,in any sort of manner(and we are chided for our response) but timec can not? Nice bit 'o tap dancing there. A good rule for life is to treat others as you would like to be treated,perhaps even go beyond that a bit and be extra nice. Especially in a public forum,were sarcasm and wit does not always translate. posted by

Thank you for all your posts, but the people who SHOULD be reading this aren't. And I'm not apologizing for my point of view. I'm apologizing for not expressing myself more "politically correct" or "polite." posted by

Real men or women don't apologize, George Bush, Cheney, Condoleezza…you will never hear them say I’m sorry. posted by

Well, I'm not those people and I'm apologizing for not coming off as I anticipated. At least I have the maturity to apologize for not saying what I wanted appropriately. None of the people who called me "ignorant" and/or "racist" do.
