An Apology to All

[Debrah N.]

I've been watching a Netflix series called 13 Reasons Why. In season one (which is all I've watched so far), the issue is teens jockeying for popularity, position and the heartbreak that always attends.

Yesterday, I feel like I was emotionally caught up in the same kind of struggle and came out rather badly in the end. In my effort to speak for someone, I rode roughshod over the feelings of someone else who may or may not have had the intentions that I gave him credit for. The irony is that just prior to that, I'd been saying how I preferred online communications rather than in person, because it gave me time to make sure I didn't put my foot in my mouth. It appears that my 'method' doesn't always work.

I've been feeling bad about how all that went down and while I still stand by the defence I was offering, I think I could have handled the other side of that coin, a whole lot better. So I'd like to apologize to rgp and I'd like to apologize to the crowd here for being a source of hostility. I need to do better and this maybe has been the speed bump of my communications journey, both here and in my day to day. That's all I wanted to say to everyone.

I do not know which thread or conversation you are referring to and I dont read all threads - but I have found your posts informative and well thought out and have often found you respond to posts in such way in threads where not everyone else is doing so.

I think we all occasionally post or speak in heat of moment and don't do so in our best way.

is big of you to acknowledge yourself doing so.

Please keep posting.

Debrah, you are big-hearted enough to issue a public apology .. that counts for a lot, in my books

 

[Beezer]

Nobody noticed or cared.

 

[Twostep]

No reason for a mea culpa.

Nobody noticed or cared.

At least she's not throwing a tantrum about getting a ticket.

I'm sure @rgp would be interested in seeing your post.. I saw it as many others did... it wasn't a single post but quite an extensive rant..but then it happens to most of us one time or another.. so don't think too badly of yourself...

Very honorable post.
