Pat ~

I offer you a public apology.

I really dig coming here and trying to keep abreast of the issues that get thrown around here. Trying to at least ,take in all sides.

Most days I see your posts and slap my head and move on. Often, to me, your posts come across as smug or even missing the point (I am guilty of that too). In the end, they are your opinions, and you are entitled to them. No matter how differently I see them. On certain days though, I am less in control of my behavior. I see your posts and I react. I am apologizing for making it personal.

 I usually keep my nose out of the heavier debates. As I have said more than once, I am not nearly as quick on the take as many others here are, when it comes to politics. I desperately want to be more knowledgeable, because I want to help reverse the negative trends I see these days, but it is a work in progress.

So I am sorry for my attitude with you yesterday. It was uncalled for. I will continue to disagree with you, but I will try to choose my words more carefully in the future.
