Like most others here I have repeatedly put up with your innuendo, buffoonery and virtue signaling. Most are not willing to waste their time responding to your insincere word games and then feigning ignorance when you are called on your idiotic smears of others.

If one was not aware of our long history of posts and communications, they might be convinced to buy into your lame excuses and completely insincere “apology”. Few people here have sincerely apologized to others more frequently than I have when I realized that I had made inappropriate comments or came to conclusions that were wrong.

You have not acknowledged any wrongdoing after smearing me with false accusations. You are like a criminal caught red handed in a lie continuing to proclaim your innocence. It is embarrassing and far below even one who masquerades as a gentleman while virtue signaling and making judgments against others.

You said to BobL in post #54 “A person of your political persuasion and low morals has no place here at Free Republic.”

When I responded, “BobL and I have both been here for more than 20 years.”

In your so called “apology” You said, “So What?”

Your insincerity is an embarrassment to everyone here desires to carry on a rational discussion. Personally, I have had it with you. I am not really angry or hurt, but I am extremely disappointed. I have given you much more credit here than I should have. It is not the first time that I have been taken in by someone with interesting circumstances and I am sure that it will not be the last.

Way to "de-escalate," fireman15!

That is true, and I commend you for it! Perhaps, in time, you will come to realize that you are overreacting here to my recent postings and regret some of your words.

You have not acknowledged any wrongdoing after smearing me with false accusations.

I have apologized, twice, for not making it clear that I was merely "pinging" you, thus falsely creating the impression that I was accusing both BobL and you.

When I responded, “BobL and I have both been here for more than 20 years.” In your so called “apology” You said, “So What?”

Are you saying that you feel that that somehow lessens the sincerity of my apology?! Whether anyone has been here two days or twenty years is namely irrelevant. I was lambasting BobL, who not only holds despicable stances on Ukraine (he laments, for example, that Putin didn't launch his surprise attack even earlier, and openly calls for him to "clean up" other neighboring countries, including NATO partners like Poland, Finland, and the Baltic states), but also frequently indulges in blatant and obscene personal insults of FReepers who disagree with him.

Your insincerity is an embarrassment to everyone here [who] desires to carry on a rational discussion.

Unfortunately, due to your refusing to accept my sincere apology and "move on," this discussion has now devolved into a meta-discussion, which is quite unproductive. You now seem more interested in nursing your "hurt" and celebrating your victimhood.

Personally, I have had it with you.

I am sorry you feel that way! While you seem overly sensitive and easy to offend, as well as unwilling to accept apologies (an unfortunate combination!), our past interactions have been, for the most part, interesting and productive.

I am not really angry or hurt, but I am extremely disappointed.

To be honest, I think you're being unreasonable and "precious." Your personal attacks against me in this thread are overshadowing the actual issue, which is of infinitely greater importance.

Get over yourself!
