Don’t worry about.
I could tell what you were trying to say. And I also think you are being a bit hard on yourself. Everybody makes fun of somebody else for something, for better or worse, sometimes deserved, sometimes not. I think its possible to be critical of others without making moral judgements of a persons total character/worth.
Or in other words, don’t sweat it Quasi (though I am sure some kind soul somewhere appreciates the thought).
You weren’t an “ass”. Who hasn’t regretted prior snark in their lives? I know I have.
You have to forgive yourself and move on.
Especially celebrity snark. I don’t mean to minimize you, but I doubt any of your comments ever caused Dixie or her family to shed a tear any more than my Michael Jackson quips reached Neverland.
A great story about Dixie Carter from Talking Broadway’s All That Chat message board:
We had the privilege of sitting next to her in NYC at Delta Burke & Sutton Foster’s final performance in Thoroughly Modern Millie and it was a huge treat! At intermission she moved to sit with a friend and I’ll never forget how she turned to me from where she stood in the aisle and said, “Honey. Can you had me my mink?”
The Lady Had Class.
They’re saying it was complications from endometrial cancer.
I’ve made it a “policy” that if I offend or cause discomfort to even one person, I’ll apologize and/or explain and move on from there. That isn’t to say I don’t take it seriously, I do. It’s just that it does my mental health no good to dwell on something like that.
Thanks
