Apologies to any who feel I am spamming this message on campaign threads, but it is an important message on a key vote which needs to get out.
As I have to explain to my children, you can't apologize in advance for something you are doing. Apology means you realise what you have done is wrong, and will strive to not do so again.
You are not apologizing, because as you admit you are doing this on purpose and believe it is for our good.
So your "apology" is really more of an "I'm sorry that this bothers some of you, but it's important", not a "I'm sorry that I am compelled against my will to commit this act of evil against you".
