1. whose ass do I need to kick ?

yours? :7

6. Maybe - I probably pushed it a little.

I was trying to back off a - I know I can be a little sarcastic and all that.

Or push some point greater than people might want.

But I'll tell you - I know in my heart - every word was right- word for word too.

SO I don't apologize for that either.

2. Not at all

you should start a few dozen threads on it.

[Joe for Clark]

3. Ok -

I guess I pissed you off - I was trying to say I didn't mean to. And I realised I might have - sorry.

4. Don't worry about it, Joe

5. Hey you did not piss me off

one thing about the internets is that you have to grow a thick skin

We just don't agree on this matter

For me history, as terrible as it may be, has to be studied and learned

You don't

7. Dude - you are a damned institution here now :)

You don't piss me off, I for one have come to love seeing your posts and chatting with you.

Just because you don't write the same way I or others do doesn't mean jack. You post what you feel, and that is an honesty I respect.

[Joe for Clark]

8. I really like reading your stuff.

I go over the top some times - I admit it.

I am trying to apologize for it.

9. Ah hell, we all do.

I have been through years of hell now, 2.5 years to be exact. And when I think it is getting better, some things just get freaking worse.

This is my outlet, my place to blow off steam.

It is yours as well, and just because you do it different than me or others does not mean you need to apologize.

You and I are under a lot of stress for different reasons, and sometimes we say or post things that we wish we hadn't :)

But overall, I think it is good to get it all out of our system - and that is why I donate here every chance I get, because I have a place I can vent and someone else handles the connection, the software, and so on. All I have to do is click post and I can get it out.

I have needed help professionally beyond this board for issues in my life, but I know posting here has helped me deal with those issues as well. Even when I regretted posting something I felt better about getting it out of my system and having people to bounce it all off of.

Post away old friend, and I for one will listen and learn - I will see issues through the eyes of someone other than myself, and that has taught me more than any school ever could.

12. Man is that all you do is come here to dump on the rest of us?

If so than by all means, the more the merrier. Just remember though, it might not get read by everybody, it might not even get read by anybody or even a nobody and many times you will probably never know. Yet somebody, someday will respond, even if just to say they are listening or err ah........reading. But at any rate just remember they might just be here for the same reasons, or maybe not





Btw. them times when nobody responds are sometimes even better, cause you might of scared them all (but probably not :silly:)

10. I look for your posts.

[Joe for Clark]

11. I do appreciate that - but the fact you are one of us here -

That is all that counts.

What is going to happen - it going to happen to all of us right now.

We are in this together right now.

Glad we are in the same boat.

13. I think you try to be honest to yourself,and that counts a lot to me.

It's being true to yourself and not being afraid to say what you think,even if does go over like a lead balloon sometimes.I know between the lines that you're someone I'd be proud to have cover my damn back though,and I wont say that about too many people,DUers or otherwise.

Sometimes I read your posts and agree,sometimes I disagree.But under all of them I sense a pain that disturbs me,and I worry about you,your son,and the implications the reasons for that pain may have on all of us.

I,for one,am glad you're here.

[Joe for Clark]

15. I be glad to cover you -

You could disagree with me 100% of the time- that doesn't matter.

And you are right - I am scared to death about what happens next - and I am sure that bleeds thru eveything I say.

That boy dies - it will be in the next three weeks - and I know it.

I have never felt so low in my life.

Joe

19. I don't pray by nature,but I hope you know all my best wishes are with you both.

I'm so sorry that you and so many others have to go through this.

[Joe for Clark]

20. I understand.

[liberalnurse]

14. Making the apology takes courage.

We all have moments of verbal passion. If we didn't, we wouldn't give a hoot about DU.....I missed the rant, I did see you tell Skinner you went too far about something......but I do not know the details. I do know you are sincere.....many, many nmore posters here could learn from your style.

16. Mostly - I am just a smart ass opinionated jerk -

I admit it.

About Skinner - he is really good. I might complain in the heat of the moment - but the truth is I think I couldn't do his job either. He really is fair - and he has helped me out too.

I won't take back a word I ever said - I meant what I said.

ANd if I think I went over the line I will apologize - I was brought up that way.

I think so were you.

Joe

17. If there was a dust up, I missed it but before I turn in,

I wanted to say it's always good to read you, Joe. And you and yours are in my daily thoughts.

[Joe for Clark]

18. You too!!
