Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI apologize to the DU Community for a remark
which I made earlier today. The post was hidden and I am thankful for that and wish to offer that I was incensed by a few things which occurred today in the news and in my practice, sat down, and read some of the details of the assassination of that young man. I stated something inappropriate and, although it is not the first time, it is the first time in a long time that I have done so, and am duly and truly sorry.
I respectfully request your forgiveness.

(17,162 posts)I know of that to which you refer- I completely understand.
No need for an apology here, but must tell you thank you for
posting in what I consider the "best of DU" spirit- hard to find
these days on the board...

Peace

It took me years to figure out that I have to do that once in awhile.

It's Friday after all. Rough weeks sometimes set us off and given all the serious shit going on, who can blame anyone for "popping off" I hope things get better for you (and all of us).

Marrah_G
(28,581 posts)But I think it takes a big person to apologize and you have always been, imho, a pretty straight up poster.
This post made me really smile, because for every person we have that will never admit they are wrong, we have one like you
