    An apology to everyone

    Good afternoon to everyone. There has been alot of harsh comments made lately in other sections(namely one). We who have been reading them know exactly what I am talking about. I just wanted to apologize to everyone for my part in a couple of posts I made. I didnt treat John(electric) respectfully in one or two of my posts. And there were others who read it. So, to keep me humble, I have made a pact with myself, that when I mess up with someone, and others are present, I apologize to not just the one I messed up against, but I have to apologize to everyone who was around the situation............in this case, everyone who read my post. I have already sent John a PM about it, but I am also telling everyone here, that I am sorry and I will conduct myself with more self control and not let my emotions get the best of me.

    I am not saying I wont speak what I feel. But, I will do my very best to not disrespect a fellow member.

    Don't beat yourself up too much over it. The guy your are talking about and a few others are only in the politics section to troll. They are not looking for a conversation or a discussion, they are only there to stir the pot and get people all worked up. If you are going to apologize to anyone it should be yourself for letting them get to you.

    There is an ignore function here that works rather well. You still have the option to view their post, or if someone quotes them you will see it, but otherwise if you are not in the mood, you do not have to deal with them. I have three people on the list and I would bet you could guess who two of them are.

    As far as everyone else having to see you disrespect another member, I am not offended. Like I already stated, they are only there to see you get all worked up. You are just giving them what they want. Screw them and the boat they sailed in on.

    I appreciate your words Joe. I really do. But the bottom line is this. I still need to conduct myself in a manner that is worthy of being a dignified man. And I can do better in that aspect. I do completely agree with you that people do like to stir the pot just to get a rise out of people. I just dont have to take the bait. I may just have a meeting with Mr. Iggy...to discuss things. But that doesnt excuse my words.

    I'm tempted by some of the political threads but have decided to ignore them and stick with boating. Anyway you're a good man to apologize publicly.

    Stirring the crap pot back down is always a good decision. Those who stir it up I guess they are just too full of it not to share. Stay thirsty my firends, and wash it away

    Ive been trying to choose my words carefully, not insult anyone, even though ide like to. Ide rather be the better man and not touch the keyboard. no one has a greater advantage than to remain calm, when everyone else is ranting.
