never let it be said that i can't own my own contribution to a problem. i sincerely appreciate that very sane and irrefutable statement.
when i let myself get sucked into a stupid argument i'm always torn between two conflicting realities.
on the one hand, i have the ability to delete everything.
on the other, if i do delete everything others might reasonably think i did that only to cover up my own stupidity.
i've been struggling with that in this case and hoping it would all just go away so i didn't have to start deleting.
after all, if i'm incorrect in my heartfelt belief that i'm being wrongfully accused, is it fair to hide the efforts of others to chastize me? mine are not the only feelings that matter.
the one thing i do know for sure is that you are correct to be disappointed in me. i'm quite disappointed myself.
i allowed myself to get sucked into a stupid argument. i should know better.
i have actively participated in hijacking an otherwise interesting and worthwhile thread. that is never a good thing for anyone to do.
