Sorry this isn’t actually a flame, but the thread to which it relates, which appeared in this forum, was closed yesterday.

jab1, I apologize for my imprudent remarks regarding wishing harm to come to your loved ones. I apologize not under some fear of being reprimanded or banned, but because it was the wrong thing to say (although for the right reasons).

I still maintain that if you are, as you say, in the habit of misattributing or misrepresenting people’s statements, you cannot be shocked when someone gets angry at you for it.

And that, my friends, is one of the classiest things I’ve seen here.

Bravo, **PLD**.

Well, then, **Airman Doors** , stick around. We’re full of class around here. You just tend to notice the assholes. 🙂

Apology accepted, **pldennison**. You and I actually agree on most things, so there is no good reason why we can’t get along.

I promise to do better in the future, even if I have to start taking notes as to who said what.
