It is never my intention to give an older person a hard time.

I want you to be here, and I do not enjoy taking someone to task.

When someone says something inaccurate about my candidate, I try to explain why they are wrong.

This isn’t personal between you and I. I just don’t think it’s right to bear false witness against Trump.

I try not to do it against Ted. I made a non-factual comment today about his policy, and was made aware I was wrong. I apologized and discontinued repeating the inaccurate comment.

It is disturbing to conduct myself that way to try to be fair to Ted, and then see his supporters just blatantly saying falsehoods for months on end. And yes, that is happening right now on the forum.

So if I run into you on another thread, perhaps we’ll be able to agree. I am sorry to have felt like I needed to confront you on this issue.

Take care.

Thank you.

I really believe what I’m saying.

Tell me I’m grossly mistaken and missing the point and don’t know what the real issue is, etc.. But I’m not lying. I really believe what I say. And I certainly can be wrong and always hope I can admit it when I realize it.

I appreciate that. It’s really what I like about FR: knowledgeable people, passionate about their beliefs, debating important matters. We will get called on our facts and sources and have to be able to support our arguments. I would not want it otherwise.

>>” I am sorry to have felt like I needed to confront you on this issue.”

And I am sorry that I sparked that response. I can do better in my tone and demeanor -and respect - while stating my views and positions. I’m going to improve on this from here on.

My sincere thanks and FReegards..
