R,
You seem to have omitted the 2 most important "offendees"......
Roomie & Mandy
Carry on,
R&M
Send me a list of everything you don't apologize for. Those are probably MY fault.
They were probably sent to you by accident.
I'm sorry, Jay. It won't happen again.
Jay, it's people like you who give freedom of speech a bad name! :-) (I'm saying that tongue in cheek.) While even I don't agree with everything you say, you have the right to believe, say, and write whatever you want. Yes, some may be offended, but that's there right, too. That doesn't mean you should have to apologize (unless you're deliberately being rude and obnoxious). I'm a Gospel Ventriloquist and once in the while I run across a church leader who is offended by it (supposedly I'm breaking the second commandment). I tell them I'm sorry they feel that way and I can respect their opinion, but I disagree. We need to follow the old adage to"Agree to disagree without being disagreeable." Now with that in mind, I'm going to get my "sidekick" out of his case and apologize.
As I am,
Bill Matthews
