True. It goes back to your abuse of Ibram. He has essentially dropped off the board, it was a long time ago, and I need to let it go.

But why do you leave off my public apology to him? I screwed up big time and admitted it to him and everyone else here. Am I not allowed a chance to make amends when I see that I have done wrong? Is perfection of a man your standard? When a person makes a mistake and then makes a public apology to the person he wronged is that not enough? When do I get that break? Ibram was owed an apology and got one. What he chose to do with it from that point forward was his decision. But if you carefully re-read that thread and see what I said to him maybe you could cut me some slack. We have all had to deal with internal demons, he just happened to bring some forth for me and I had to face them after what I said to him. They are still there to some degree, but I at least admitted to the community that I was wrong.

I was probably not reading it very charitably back then. You've admitted the wrong here. I will try to focus on what you write not my preconceptions of you. I can see you are not attempting to start something, you are finishing something and that is admirable. I will also strive to be a better dwellar. I apologize for being a complete bastard to you.

And I to you. I propose a peace pact. I recognize that we are both passionate in our feelings about issues but I assure you that I am not, nor have I ever been a one trick pony. I have a wide range of diverse views and opinions on things. I completely respect your divergence of my views and will strive to be a better poster to you personally. I publicly apologize if have said anything offensive to you personally, not about our differing views, but about you. Please accept my apology and let's move forward from this point. I can't go back and change some of the things I have said to you, but I acknowledge them and will try to make amends. That is the best I can do.
