A public apology

It seems that through the course of a string of jokes, I without thinking made a post that upset a friend on this board. There was no excuse except for not thinking. I am not going to name the thread or the person I upset but I am going to say I am sorry. I simply did not realize, at the time, that wounds can still be fresh. Please accept my sincere apology.

Very big of you, but spit happens. I would hope that your friend is big enough to understand that.

You're one of the nicest guys on this forum anyway.

Rick,

thanks for setting the example.
I too am guilty of being inconsiderate, not on purpose, I did not think further than the moment.
I hope my apologies will be accepted and that we can continue our journey again, with a complete team.
Dude, sorry.

it's the worst when you offend a truly good person. did this recently on a religious thread and felt like quite a piece of crap over it. i tend to spout off a bit first and think later (i know, i know...you all are like 'no way, not you!') and it costs me sometimes.

a giant Pelican get together would help us all remember just how human each of us really is.

Rick, I know of what you speak. I will add my apology as well. We never meant to hurt feelings.

Gee Rick you do have some class after all, I don't care what anyone else says.

I don't think I've offended anyone on this forum, but I would ike to jump in the apology line, 'cause I know, in the future, I'll say something stupid or offensive without thinking it thru at the time I type. So......Sorry.

Fortunately, being the kind of person I am, I have never offended anyone.

Rick, any chance you could do a recap? I missed the insult, so I don't know if platitudes are in order. You don't have to give a blow by blow, just hit the high points.

(JOKE -ing) :-)

Yup.

I've only met him once, but you get a sense.
