Upon Further Review and Self Reflection

I was wrong. Not because Ruth said I was wrong, but because I communicated to Lex in a fashion that is not consistent with my own personal values - and those that I hope to pass along to my children.

Augie is right. I simply should've asked Lex why he felt the need to begin a new thread. Should've been the end of my post. Instead, I continued with a backhanded slap at Lex, and one that yes, I do regret.

I talk about my kids often on this forum. I think the most valuable lesson I can teach them is that when you are wrong, stand up and say so.

So that is what I am doing. Not for my initial inquiry that I posed to Lex, but for the mean-spirited drivel afterwards (highlighted below).

My apologies, Lex.
Lex, maybe you missed this...http://www.virgin-islands-on-line.com/f ... hp?t=13929

Or, maybe you think your opinions are that much superior to the rest of us on a given subject that they deserve their own thread?

Typical.

I know from personal experience that couldn't have been easy. I've had to apologize on this board several times.

Nice work.

Well played.

That's a great acid test for us - "would this be something my kids would be proud of?"

apologizing on this forum is sort of like confession-

you are now absolved.

see, anthony, leave us alone for long enough and we sort things out oursleves.

i like this OT forum for exactly this reason. sometimes it makes us reflect and learn.
