WOW... a thread devoted to an apology??? You certainly have FRespect. I've visited some of those threads, but not really participated in them.

Hey, NAL! Welcome back. Long time, no see! I remember the good old days in North Texas, standing outside watching Clinton's goons bus in supporters while FReepers showed up in their own cars carrying home made signs. My article, "Rights? What Rights?" about your trip (with Basil and others) to east Texas is still carried on several websites and discussed!
You were my introduction to FR, and I'll never forget you! I was simply "TheWriter" back then, but two kids and some major health complications kept me away from FR for a while. Looks like we are both "coming home."
To: cyborg
Dear Cyborg:
NAL deserves respect. He's a old time FReeper, back from the early days (5 or 6 years ago), and was very active for a long time. Brought a lot of people on board and made a big difference in our little corner of the world.
A lot of the newer folks may not recognize the name, but I did instantly.
To: TheWriterInTexas
That's good. I admire humility. That is a trait sorely lacking in a few folks on FR.

Don't expect too many apologies from the Terri-ites.
I still don't know what to think about the case, but I can say that those threads were characterized
by a rampant hysteria seldom equaled here.
Anyone who dared even question the Save-Terri position was treated as if he were Dr Kevorkian posting from his prison cell.

I'd see him pop up a couple of times a year and post, "NaL!....Where you been?"
His answer...?
"Lurking".
To: Normally a Lurker
I've been reading those Schiavo threads and I hate to tell you, but you come off as one detestable individual. Glad you finally realized what you were doing, most people don't.
Your somewht tortuous apology here is accepted by me, can't speak for the posters you actually directed your posts to. I had put you on my internal "ignore him, he's an jerk" list, but will pull you off and put you on probation...... for now.

Don't expect too many apologies from the Terri-ites. They have no reason to apologize.
Read this post again. Normally A Lurker is aplogizing for HIS behavior on the Schiavo threads. The "Terri-ites" have been quite polite, considering NAL was barraging their threads with rude, offensive comments.
HE is apologizing to THEM. And rightly so.

I'm just glad to see you back!!
To: TheWriterInTexas
Damn - a good screen name to see.
Is it two kids - or three or four, by now?
To: ambrose
You for sure deserve it, if I jumped your case. In fact, I have great respect for (at least most of) your posts.
To: WackyKat
I'm not looking for apologies from anyone. i'm just giving a few. (But you're fully right about MOST of that group.)
To: eddie willers
Right EW - another old timer it's good to 'see'.
To: Auntie Mame
OK . . . but please go and read some ot the posts to me to which I was responding. (I've been called every name in the book, and often by people to whom I'd never posted - from the time of my first post in one of those threads.)
But there are those to whom I'm sincerely apologizing.

Now there you go, and just a very mild example.
I didn't that those were "their" private threads. In fact, I posted qyite a few articles there myself, and saw many unwarrent insults of me. Just how did my article posting become their private threads?
I'll wait for you explanation.
To: dandelion
Thanks
To: Normally a Lurker
No, the pic is a joke. On this issue, I'm your side. You and me, we's da same! (obscure "Falling Down" reference)
