Darcie, I did not know you and DA are siblings, and I do apologize if my posts made light of your situation.
What I will not apologize for is commenting on what DAN said but based on his history, his reputation, and his manner of posting in times past. No way.
If you disagree with me, take a few days to read what he has written, and the way he responds to those who disagree with him.
I am not going to analyze whether I am being too rough on someone who has roughness as his modus operandi.

I am well aware of many of my shortcomings ... including my inability,sometimes, to soften my words. [Something I really need to work on.]
Furthermore, we could continue this spat that obviously was founded in a misunderstanding ... but it would not be to any avail.
I am sorry if I have offended you in any way ... and hope we can bury the hatchet.
I meant the words to my sister that you took exception to ... and for that I cannot apologize ... but if there is something that I have done to insult you ... I will try to improve.
Let's bury this,
Dan

I have nothing against you Daniel, honestly, I don't. In fact, to an extent, I know what it feels like to be you.
I have been reading your stuff for a while, your responses, your comments, etc., and I believe it is difficult for you to be held intellectually accountable because of your bias and yes, spite toward the organization.
You do not argue points of discussion based on the academics and merit of the topic, you haven't to this point taken any other consideration other than your own, and when you reach an intellectual box canyon, you resort to bailing out with either insults, or a pseudo-spiritual high road.
You just pushed the right buttons, broke the camels, back, froze the engine, and I had to respond in kind.
This is like a 4th grader walking back to class from a break with toilet paper haning out from his pant leg and wondering why all of the 5th graders are laughing at him...
