APOLOGY TO ARCHER

This is a public apology to archer who I have publicly wronged by childishly calling her extremely insulting names. My behavior was inexcusible, childish, foolish, immature, hateful, wrongheaded, and stupid.
I offer no reasons or excuses for my behavior, for that would diminish the sincerity of my repentance.
Archer has demonstrated a continued willingness to engage in discussion on these forums after being so insulted and has been mature in not mentioning the affront that was given to her. I admire her very much for this demonstration of her strength of character.
I will guard against letting my bad judgment ever express itself to her or any other member of these forums in such a manner in the future.

I request that no other person respond to this thread as this is an offering and announcement, such as it is.

I know you asked for no responces to this but I just wanted to say that was a classy move. :thumbsup:

AGREED!

I too know you asked for no response but I can't help it. I too am very impressed with your apology. I agree with the other poster, very classy move!

wow, just wow (sorry, I couldn't not respond)......I thank you major bean, if more of us would look at each poster as a person rather than just an anonymous poster aligned with one side or the other....maybe civility would replace rancor. I do appreciate your apology, lets put this baby to bed and start the new year with discussion, some healthy teasing, and a stronger sense of community here at 285bound.

archer, agreed. And thanks for being gracious.

I too Major Bean am sorry for my post earlier. I guess I felt I could be mean because it seemed like you didn't care that you were mean to someone else and didn't seem to care - but you really did. Two wrongs don't make a right and I am truly sorry. I hope you can accept my apology.

Major Bean, I am speechless. You guys are great people.

Sunshine Girl, there was no offense taken on my part. There is absolutely no need for an apology from you or anyone else. But thanks for the thought.

Now, enough of this sugary stuff or I'll have to temper the pot with abuse. (a little humor, there)
