Mark, you wrote, my replies follow:
> The following is addressed to "icones" or anyone else who feels I have > unjustly caused them harm during my criticism of the recent OSG/IOCC > proposal on hybrids. I certainly did not feel like you did me harm or was attempting to me harm. However, I just don't agree with your stated position and tried to explain why. Again however, it is your right to have that position and maintain that position. BTW a right I spent 42 years defending. > I am definitely feeling blow back from my criticism of the OSG/IOCC > proposal to exempt all hybrids from CITES and CITES documentation. While > the anger may be justified, There was no anger in my post. I was trying to explain to you what was done and why. > ...it is hard to apologize when the issues aren't actually dealt with directly. I am not sure I understand what issues weren't dealt with directly. >People that know me know I have no > intentions to harm or hurt anyone. I never indicated that you did or even thought that you did. >I will admit my mistakes, and I have no problem in apologizing. Well that's all well and good, but what are you wanting to apologize for? I certainly saw nothing in your post about the proposed changes to CITES to require an apology. We disagree as to its usefullness, so what. >A lot of actual communications are lost on this forum. Maybe not enough. >Ninety percent or more of normal communication is actually > through body language. On all forums, topics get mangled, intent gets > lost, and who is being addressed can get confusing. I certainly advocate face to face discussions in all very important matters, and have traveled many millions of miles in proof of that, but don't see its relevancy here. >I am offering to reconcile things, and sincerely apologize where appropriate. Well no apology is due me and if a "thing ain't broke" no reconciliation is necessary either. icones ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids
