I wasn't accusing you of that.. don't take me so literally. I simply made a point about morality of which you didn't understand.

I apologize that you took it personally. I don't know you or your neighbor's wife so I couldn't possibly know if you were sleeping with her.

That's an interesting apology....So you're sorry that I took it personally? That's what you're sorry for? You're sorry that I took it personally that you said a really ugly thing out of ignorance? Well...O.K. I guess. :-)

You don't mind if I apologize on your behalf to my neighbor's wife do you? I'm not offended. You'd have to try a lot harder to tarnish my beat up reputation. Besides, I can defend myself here, which is something that my neighbor's wife can't do. In a small, but significant way, you've slandered her good name and denied her justice. She's quite a good lady by the way.

I do have the IP address of your workstation though, and if she wants to pursue this, I suppose she can go through channels and subpoena your ISP for your identity. I'm fairly familiar with the processes involved for getting an ISP to release information. It's not that difficult.

You're a confusing man to me. You are certain that you couldn't possibly know if I've slept with my neighbor's wife, but you're also certain that I don't understand your point about morality.

Maybe I understand your point about morality completely and you just don't realize it because you lack insight and understanding yourself. Think about it... If you lacked understanding, would you know it? It's sort of like the old question as to whether crazy people really know that they're crazy. I think they might be aware that something is "amiss", but that's about the extent of their awareness of their insanity. They only know that things are "wrong".

I didn't say that I hadn't slept my neighbor's wife. I only stated that you made a rude and unfortunate comment....and it was. But I was merely illustrating that just like the rest of us, you really don't know much. Your reply to my request for an apology proved it.

As for the understanding of morality, be careful of your comments regarding the wives of other men. You might feel better by telling me not to take you literally, but your arrogance has the capacity of causing you a lot of grief.

Morality is easy to understand in simple terms of right and wrong, but not many truly comprehend and apply it. Even less do so for the correct reasons, and fewer yet gain an understanding of mercy through it.

Now do you think you can find it within you to issue a proper apology?
