[Gene Eric]

You described me as the type of troll depicted in the article. And as a compliment to the article, you elaborated in your initial post the following:

It's easy to underestimate how many of these types of sickos are out there: There are millions of sociopaths in the U.S. alone.

You were careless in making me an example, and went too far out of your way to discredit my objections to the article's assertions.

Furthermore, I don't criticize the family members of politicians, and that includes Romney's mom. Of course this is something you incorrectly surmised by reviewing my posts on other threads.

I didn't ask you for an apology. And I don't need nor want your demonstrations of forum decorum. I appreciate, however, the consideration.

Gene,

The first post was merely a continuation of the article, verbatim.

My apologies for any mis-communication. I had noticed the post you made in the other thread and was mentioning that it was an ad hominem. No more than that..... I was not trying to label you a troll. If I did, my apologies as that was not my intent.
