Way to "de-escalate," fireman15!
Few people here have sincerely apologized to others more frequently than I have when I [...]
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!
