I could have just deleted the post, but my only defense is that I am also a passionate individual. Sometimes I need to shoot from the hip to express my self, and if I come on too strong, I am the first to apologize. I am not alone in the thoughts I posted, and I DID offer the olive branch just to make sure that the intention was not taken as malicious.
Those are my thoughts, and I can't apologize for that, but I assure you - there is NO hurtful agenda behind the words.
I believe in speaking your mind. Everyone is pretty quick to jump on me when they need to, and I'm still here.
I admire your candor and the tact in your post. Thanx for adding your take on it.
