Drovers dog, I am writing this note so that you do not form a negative impression about me based on my comments on this thread.

What you have noticed is understandably frustrating for anyone to read. I personally apologise to you for the tasteless comments I have made about others. I realize that it was an unfortunate use of words that absolutely did not reflect a kind of person I am. It was not my nature, but I had no choice, as you see. It was certainly a harmless joke, may not be funny at all to many, but some guys in their comments unwisely panned it and exchanged mean comments. You see the language of this guy who calls himself dentist:

“seriously how shallow & clueless must one be to write this sort of trash & how equally shallow & clueless must one be to post it???...”

Does he deserve any respect? Such comments are stifling and prevent me to deal with these guys with respect. Of course I too failed when my patience, virtue and perseverance were tested.
