Apology to MaryB

[jmort]

I want to apologize to MaryB, an unequivocal apology. There is no excuse for my rude and obnoxious behavior. Mary does more in a week than I do in a year. I have always read every one of her posts ever since she joined and I admire her work ethic, skill, and knowledge. She is someone to be admired for all she has done to help others and in making this forum a continuous success. Even if this were not the case, and clearly it is, there is no excuse for rude and obnoxious behavior. I hope my apology is accepted. I cannot unring the bell. But I can proceed in a manner that is constructive and positive, if only to demonstrate that I am sincere in my apology.

And That's a good man when he can stand up in public and apologize when wrong

I have no idea what it's about.....but good on you. We'd all live in a better world if more folks were willing to 'own it'.

[nagantguy]

Well said sounds sincere and honest to me, nicely done!

Exactly what I was thinking

[Hogtamer]

He's baaaaack! you've been missed.

[jmort]

Thank you, that is very kind.

[Char-Gar]

Well, he should start with a clean slate and issue the same apology to others he has treated shabbily.

[jmort]

You would be one such person, and I will send you a PM. If I am on your ignore list then please accept this apology. I believe other scores are settled, but I stand ready to apologize to anyone that is due an apology like Char-Gar

[Duckiller]

How about all the citizens of California that he has insulted over the years?

[jmort]

I sent you a PM and it contained a personal apology as I am sincere in my desire to make amends. I have apologized to you personally. As to the citizens of the State of California, I was born, raised and lived there for over 55 years. I do not want this to turn into a political thread as it is intended as an apology to MaryB and an opportunity to apologize personally to anyone else I have offended. Remember, please, this in Our Town.

We're all human here. We all make mistakes. To acknowledge them and make them right is the mark of a humble person. At the end of the day we're all family here and we all squabble and may say things we don't mean, especially if we've been here long enough. Let's be supportive and let bygones be bygones.

Not sure what is going on but public groveling always makes me uneasy. This was best dealt with in a pm between you and MaryB. I've had a couple of back and forth's with her in pm and she is very reasonable.

[jmort]

Sorry to hear that you have unease over my "public groveling." I will just say that we will have to agree to disagree over this matter. If you disagree, I would respectfully request that you check out some other threads. You point was clearly made, and is noted and well taken.

A man admits mistakes . You belittle him for it . Who is the bigger man ?

the problem with that is what happens when the initial issue was very public to start with.

[Boaz]

Understood HATCH . A second chance is offered . This form is understanding . Thank you and all mods To forgive ..

[MaryB]

Thank you for the apology. We all make mistakes and I have apologized to my share of people!
