Gentlemen (and Ladies too),
Recently in the discussion of Romney's flag-rank endorsements I said something that had the effect of calling all of you out. While my intent was to probe THEIR motives rather than question your integrity, intent does not matter, only effect, and the effect was that I crossed the line.
You all have my apologies, which I hope you can find it in yourselves to accept.

:thumbsup
Apology gladly accepted.
Thank you for reaching out to our Six Family, and for being a part of the Six Family.
You are not the first one to write something that was not intended to offend, but did.
Nor will you be the last.
So, keep writing and posting.
Jim Too

I took it as intended, so no issues with me.

You all have my apologies, which I hope you can find it in yourselves to accept. Diamondback, What's the old movie line... "Love is never having to say you're sorry". The problem with email and forums is that they are a poor communications medium compared to sitting around the table having beers and talking where everyone can see your body language and visual queues. Trust me, I have made more of these mistakes in my 66 years than you have. It's nice to have guys who think so much of you to call you out on some things. If they didn't care, they wouldn't bother. My guess is they admire your courage to apologize when you felt you should. My two cents, Pat P.

Where there is no intent there can be no insult. I,m sure we have all made statements recently in the heat of one of the most trying times in our nation's history that were not well thought out, so as Christ said,"let he who is with out sin cast the first stone".

"OUCH, WHO THREW THAT DA**ED ROCK?"
TIME TO MOVE ON, it's gonna take all of us to try and deal with the next 4 years.
