Apologies for being a source of negativity.

[Telly Savalas]

Lord knows this place has enough of 'em already.

I got pissed off at a couple of posts and rather than stepping away from the computer to cool down, I lashed out. It was childish and stupid, so I'm sorry.

In particular, apologies to Californians. I've never been there, but everyone I know who has visited have nothing but good things to say about it and "President Boxer" has a lovely ring to it.

1. Apology accepted

heaven knows I have been guilty of the same in the past as well!

[Moochy]

2. And apologies for poking you with a red hot poker

My posts were quite inflammatory, as well.

:hi: no harm no foul! Let us carry on, and besides we spawned the Romulan bashing thread which means something good came of it! :)

I mean no ill will to anyone from even Crawford Texas, and was just guilty of provoking you!

5. Real Californians revel in rhetorical abuse

It shows how jealous everyone else is.

Besides, it's all true.

Bring it on.

8. Do we?

If this were GD, I'd say "bullshit." But since it's not, I'll assume you're joking -- about that, about the "jealous" thing, about whatever I'm missing being true.

:hi:

9. Obviously not a 'real Californian'

maybe you're one of those Khalifornians that are occasionally mistaken for the real thing

[bertha katzenengel]

10. Bah!

6. You dissed CA? Don't get me wrong - apology accepted, if I could've

seen the dissing.

But I'm glad I didn't. CA is my home state.

No harm, no foul! :hi:

7. I've done it myself. Sometimes, I wish the keyboard had

an auto shut when things get heated. I have to resist the temptation not to have the last word in a flamewar. :(

FWIW: I've never seen you post anything that wasn't funny and lighthearted. So, chalk it up to a lesson learned and be done with it.

11. Hi there, Telly...

I'm glad to accept your apologies...I saw your other thread, and felt some distress. But I didn't answer because I figured someone much more articulate than I am would come along, and give you what for...So you can imagine my relief when I saw this newer thread.

You must come visit this incredible state some day. It has so many interesting things, places and people to see...It is a wonderful vacation spot, and I think it's a perfect place to live...well, mostly perfect.

Thank you for your generous spirit. It takes quite a lot of courage to apologize so gracefully.
