Hello friends,

I think lately I have been quite a schmuck on this forum, particularly
vitriolic to George, Margaret and in a roundabout way to John Atkinson.

I have been going through quite a rotten time lately highlighted by the
break-up with my longtime girlfriend.

One lost... Ten find again. ;-)

I figured that channeling some of
my emotional rage into anonymous personal attacks would cathartic and
therapeutic.

Sage decision, it's better to stop before to be addicted.

Alas, it has done little to alleviate my suffering, but it has resulted
in several unfortunate missteps on this forum.

I apologize to all (including Mike McKelvy) for being, for lack of a
better word, an asshole.

To Middius in particular, I really don't know or frankly don't care what
your sexual orientation is.

Apologies to George aren't necessary but prove that you are a kind guy...
Just for laugh and to confirm that you wasn't so wrong, I bet that if John
hadn't posted before, George's answer would have been totally different. Do
you see what I mean ? ;-)

To resort to such shallow bigotry was both
undignified and hypocritical.

Perhaps you should change of nickname ? :-D

I do sincerely apologize to you for that.

:-)
