Mike - I've been harsh to you the last few weeks and I want to apologize.
 
in the future, if you post something which irritates me, I will do my best to just ignore it and move on.
 
please accept my humble public apology.
 
to Bub, ampfixer and anyone else who was offended by my behavior:  I apologize to you as well.  I will do my best to behave in a more civilized manner.

Nice to see this Reese.  Not sure if your out of the "dog house" yet. :-)

links please

Classy move beagle 

"dog house"???  I resemble that remark:-)

Arf! Arf! 

It's like one big, normal in it's dysfunction, family.
 
Like, dislike, agreement, disagreement, joy, pain, rage, forgiveness, misery and laughter.
 
It's all the better for that.  It would get no mileage from just being a thick-layer of socially agreeable veneer and insincerity or an endless list of gags (good word btw).
 
And in the immortal words of one of our brethren, "When McQ is working your last nerve, it's all your fault"...  It's actually truer than it sounds as iif someone else is a problem to me it is in fact MY problem.
 
Good job Beag, as often the 'bigger' man!
 
I like Beagles.

I like Beagles. 


Agree! Now let's bring on the Becon and pig out  

Hi Reece,

Thank you very much for the gesture of friendship.

What can I say? I'm a bit embarrassed to have this dialog publicly but I very much appreciate the idea that you have suggested that we can move forward and make the best of our friendship.

I'd like to enjoy everyone's company here because I appreciate the sense of community that occurs here and I appreciate the opportunity for me to learn through discussions.

I have been trying to provide less of the sarcastic instigation I have become known for and I sincerely hope that people will come to trust that not every post I make is intended to seem sarcastic.

I acknowledge that I have brought a lot of this about with my own actions and I hope I can also demonstrate that I value the community and the sense of camaraderie in a way that continues to grow friendship amongst the members that frequent this forum.


In closing, I'd like to apologize for making things seem so disagreeable.



Thanks again Reece.



very best regards,
mike

Thank you Mike!  your response was much more than I had hoped for!

With what you have said I will from this point forward look at your posts without the disdain which I had began to have because of the period of time you were "instigating sarcasm" and read with fresh eyes as if you are sincere in every post and let your record stand (from my point of view) as if the past did not happen so that we can only react to each other without bias of that past.

I do value your friendship here and look forward to continuing "fresh."

again, thank YOU, Mike.  your post here has renewed my enthusiasm for "net friendships."
