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!
