Ruth,
I wasn't directing my comments at you specifically. And I understand that a lot
of people had their feelings hurt. And you have a right to feel hurt. There
were a number of mean things said over the past gew days.
I have had a few instances where someone had responded to me in what I felt was
an insulting and demeaning manner (as well as being technically incorrect) and
I responded with a somewhat angry response. I was sorry the moment I sent it.
Fortunately a few times Mike caught and held my post. (Thanks Mike)
But if I had proven my point at the expense of another's face I would have
found no pleasure in it. In fact I would have felt ashamed.
I would rather back off and appear wrong than prove myself right that way. I
hope we all strive for that.
