3. Yes, I apologized for supporting nuclear power my whole life, and for...
saying the stock market would rise and fall in a certain way. I was only 24 hours off though.

6. Yes
I still feel bad for attacking Malaise one time for giving away a spoiler on a game. I also once made a divisive post about party membership that I apologized for. I'm sure there are others.

10. Of course.. If you are here long enough, something you write
will cause confusion and lead others to misconstrue what you meant to say. Not to mention the times others prove you wrong... or you just change your mind. I'd like to think all here are able to do so --unlike those GWBush* types who think to admit you are wrong shows "weakness" :eyes:

16. Yes, I have.
a couple of times, when I had my facts wrong, or when I offended someone and I wasn't necessary.

18. sure - sometimes you just don't read a post correctly or you respond
more sharply than you needed to. I would guess most of that happens by PM, but sure.

21. Yes. I feel many arguments can't be resolved so easily..
on the internet, so I will sometimes agree to disagree. But there have been times I've admitted I was wrong.

22. No, but I should have.
I told someone to go " themselves and for that I'm very sorry. I didn't log in for months because I thought for sure I'd be banned and deservedly so. Maybe it was missed, but to whomever I said that to ...... I am SO sorry. Since then I've learned to stop ...... count to 10, and not be such an azzhole. I hope.
