**Minty** in my estimation you did little, if anything, to feel abashed about. You conducted yourself honorably, and if you blew a gasket under pressure, it was under enough provocation to make St. Francis of Assisi kick a lamb. I commend your grace and generosity.

You lie misrepresent and slander so often and with such casual disregard for the truth that your accusations can be dismissed out of hand.

Minty:

I owe you an apology too. You didn’t deserve my ire. I was very frustrated by Dafficus, and Prevaricator here as well as some stupid drivebyes, and when you made your accusation I lumped you in the same barrel and took it all out on you. That’s not an excuse, but my reason. So, I’m sorry about it.

Then pit me, asshole. And be prepared to prove it.

Show me one lie. Just one.

Until then, you can kiss my ass till I bark like a fox.

Apology gladly accepted, Scylla, and thank you.

I’m going to ask the mods to lock this up. If the two of you really want to continue this, I’m sure someone can open up another thread.

Hey, I was done **Minty**. I defered to you, and had no problem with it. But Somebody had to get in one more shot.
