Which begs the question, if you can practice that kind of live and let live behaviour at home, why can't you do it here?

[MikeH]

Oh and thanks everyone for such great responses to my question, and for such a lack of hostility. I think this is a valuable discussion.

Live and let live is different from keeping your mouth shut. One involves not dragging fags behind your truck and tying their bodies up to fences to die. The other involves some basic sense of social decorum.

Ben, please cite your apology to me that you had mentioned you issued above. I have not seen it.

clearly he must still be looking for the link to his post..

[Asher]

He's an unabashed liar. No shame at all.

My roomate isn't constantly baiting me as Asher does here. He has respect for my faith, even as he doesn't practice.

I hope you've seen how this thread works, asher's posted to me, what, 10 times here?

It's all there. I made an apology to everyone for whatever hurt I may have caused them. That includes asher. I'm puzzled why it's not readily apparent to him.

Because it's not real. That's why you've ignored my request repeatedly.

Let me apologize:

I apologize to everyone in the past, present, and future for any perceived insult or slight I may have caused.

Nice job.

[Ben Kenobi]

Wow, that's the first decent post you've made in this thread.

Thank you Asher, I accept your apology.

For your reference it's post 231, where I said this, asher. As I said it's all there.

I want to apologise for whatever pain I may have caused to the folks here.

Lets see how long it takes for you to accept mine, if you ever do.

[Asher]

Whoosh.

Blanket apologies always sound so forced an insincere. That one was no different.

True apologies are quite specific to the offense. There should never be any doubt.

I am sorry I ever offended your ferret rah.

Please ask him to stop staring at me when we are posting

Thanks much!

You can extract your pound of flesh, if you wish rah. I've served my time.

I recall a time when you let me out early because, in your words, "I was a gentlemen" about all it. I deserved my ban and crossed a line. No excuses.

[rah]

You were a gentleman in the past. You are not anymore. I am not the offended party here. I'm not the one you owe an apology to.

And gramps, what the heck are you apologizing for? (further proof why a blanket apology is meaningless)

[Asher]

Ben, why did you refuse to apologize when you said the comments and it was made clear you were wrong?

Why do you refuse to specifically apologize now?

For the record, I owe no apology to you. There are times I am overzealous and upon retrospect, I do apologize. When I do, it is truly sincere. NYE and I buried the hatched some time ago and I PMed him a sincere apology, for instance, as I did go overboard quite a few times with my interactions with him. But with you, there's really no such thing as overboard.
