I did not recall this apology. All I recalled was the denial to have the offending post removed. I was very embarrassed by it and just wanted it off the thread. I wanted you to "take it back" so to speak...and you could have. I would have appreciated it, because I did found it and still find it so personally embarrassing.
If I said something about a friend of mine that embarrassed them or hurt them, even in and especially in jest, I would do anything in my power to fix it. I hoped you would have it removed, because it embarrassed me. It hurt me all the more that you didn't and made such a strong statement about it.
But I didn't see your apology and have thought all along that you never apologized. I suppose it's not too late to accept it?
As I said, the opinion I have about the spammers should have just stayed with me. I regret that I lumped all spammers in with Carton and for that, I apologize.
