I do hope you will accept my apology. I get frustrated sometimes with the limitations of debating via the keyboard.

Nonsense--it had nothing to do with debating skills. It had to do with your unsupported allegations and slurs that you directed at me (not backing up my assertions, attacking Rokke, irrational, illogical, emotional, etc.)

I asked for examples and links so that I might correct the record. You gave none and did not respond to the many questions in my post.

If you are now acknowledging that you were wrong about the personal slurs and other allegations, and now retract them, then I accept the apology.

By the way, you also this statement:

What has been proposed by many on this thread is not a libertarian market model, but rather a protectionist market model. A "we need no one other than ourselves" approach to being American.

I asked you to support that comment as I certainly had not seen that on this thread. Did I miss your response?

Listen. I am trying to gracefully back out of this honorably and should never have waded in when I was as tired and frustrated as I was.

I have neither the time nor energy to give this my full attention and because of that, I am trying to allow you to go back to more substantial discussion.

I am done. I thought that I had made the point earlier that you win because I am conceding. If I do not back up my assertions, that is the way it is and I am happy to leave it that way.

I would like to mend fences with you on a personal level, just as I would in real life. No more, no less. We disagree, we had a dustup, but that is no reason to continue it.

So, to keep it short and sweet, I AM SORRY. PERIOD.
