> [@Q.E.D](#): > > I await a round of apologies. You know who you are. OK, I’ll accept \*\*Amp \*\*at his word and thus I do owe you an apology. I am sorry \*\*Q.E.D. \*\* I am glad I only called you “thick” and nothing worse. **Amp** , I cannot apologize to you. The way you wrote that really sounded like you were proud of vandalizing the signs. I am honestly shocked and chagrined that \*\*Q.E.D. \*\* was correct. ---

> [@Q.E.D](#): > > I await a round of apologies. You know who you are. Wow. Well, from me you certainly get an apology. I still say that my read was far more likely than yours, but yours is correct, and yours had the benefit of assuming the best until shown otherwise. So I absolutely apologize. ---

I don’t expect a retraction or any apologies. People get pitted around here all the time. I wasn’t even going to respond to this thread but I didn’t want people around here thinking I was a jerk. A dumb jerk at that. Plus I’ve been here over eight years and this is the first pit thread about me. What the hell took you people so long? Oh and thanks to **Q.E.D.** and those others who stepped up to defend my honor. ---

I’m not sure I can really retract much, but I am certainly glad to hear that it was indeed accidental. Indeed, **Amp** , I am sorry to have implied a false statement against you. ---
