Below are the contents of a PM sent to Rufus and ShadowMouse and some additional comments to Rufus after reading this Thread. Since my offense was public, so too should be my apology - hence my posting them here.
----------------------------------------
Rufus,
I want to apologize to you. I had no intention whatsoever of upsetting you. If we were face to face speaking, you have seen in my face that there was no anger or malice towards you. I feel very badly that I did offend you, however. I never try to intentionally upset someone or goad them into anger. I enjoyed our previous exchange about your upbringing in San Diego. I had forgotten that it was you and that there was another side to you. My words that gave offense were clearly in error. I now believe that you were just having some fun at my expense in mChat. I don't mind that at all. I hope that we can move on and have some profitable exchanges. Have no concerns if you want to try to have some jokes at my expense. I don't mind. If you feel that you need to vent on me in Thread or mChat, go right ahead. I won't mind. In closing, I hope that you will accept my apology. I mean that in all sincerity.
Lastly, I will also make this same apology to you public in Thread when E-Lad or Milo sets one up.
sincerely
pj aka agrammatos
ShadowMouse,
You are to be commended for coming to the aid of your friend with your last (that I read) comment to me in mChat. Clearly, Rufus is someone worth standing up for. I may have also offended you by my words. I apologize to you also and hope that we too can move on and have some profitable exchanges. You asked a very good question in mChat that I didn't get a chance to respond to. Please ask it again in the Thread, E-Lad or Milo is setting up.
Lastly, I will also make this same apology to you public in Thread when E-Lad or Milo sets one up.
sincerely,
pj aka agrammatos
=============================
Rufus,
Before posting this I read the Thread E-Lad set up. I think I owe you another apology. I'm so very sorry, Rufus. I think that I must have misread the mChat window history. With the pics and my small screen everything was scrolling so quickly. I must have mistaken someone else's comments as belonging to you. I noticed in this Thread that you said you didn't say anything to me first. I really messed up. I'm not sure now who did make some comments that I wanted to sincerely reply to. So, my comments were extremely out of line for I should have addressed them to someone else entirely and not to you. Rufus, I'm dreadfully sorry for the mistake and my offense against you. I hope that you can understand a Noob's confusion and we can get past this. If you are angry, I can readily understand why since you hadn't addressed me. I feel like such a schlub. I sincerely apologize to you, Sir.
