Tom,
I was going to wait till this weekend but when it's the right thing to do, I should not delay. Over the weekend you and I had some very intense exchanges and I am ashamed of the way I acted and would like to apologize to you for my remarks. I should have written a personal message to you letting you know what my beef was with you and I chose to take it out in public. I was reared better than that, and I know better than that. Again I apologize to you, and by extension, to everyone here on the forum for all of that; you all should not have had to wade through all of that.
I know this thread is odd, but I feel like if I was man enough to write what I did and post them for the public to see, then I should be man enough, more like humble enough, to apologize in public for the remarks.
And Tom, I'll be send you a message (very respectful and civil) about my concerns in the next few days to try to hash this out.
Thanks!

Very classy FA, but don't worry about it. Its Tom. He has rhinoceros hide. He probably didn't even register it as an insult. ;)

Any one can make a bad choice.
It takes a big man to apologize and move on.
Your apology is accepted Full Auto.

Oh Jeez! What are you guys trying to do? Alienate the mall ninjas? Knock off this adult behavior! Now someone is going to have to initiate a Glock vs 1911 thread or a caliber war to rebalance the forum continuum.
P.S. Good job, guys.

Glock sucks , .45 rules ! ;D

But Glocks are still ugly even my .45 G21,, and my .380 is an awesome one shot stopper.,... :P
Good to see gentleman, with probably more in common than they think, moving on and remembering all of us are really on the same side. Especially in today's times.

The Secretary doesn't seem as intimidating when you notice that's a Nylon 22 over his shoulder .
Rumble with the HA is much less likely than range day at the club house. ;D

Ah, but if you shave your head, is it not a hairstyle? Bald is not by choice (ask my dad). ;D

I have more hair than I need, always have! A few years ago, my wife was giving me a trim and missed by a bit so I clipped it to nearly bald. Someone asked me the next day (a bald co-worker) what I would do if I didn't grow back?
I told him I'd become a firearms instructor!
;D ;D ;D

I received a pm from FA today addressing his issues.
It was articulate, well thought out , and to the point.
I hope he thinks the same of my reply.
