I would like to apologize for something I said... [View all]

In this post http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5024799 I said this

You and many others in HoF are some of the worst people I've ever come across.
I was wrong to say this. Worst was one of the worst word to use. There are so many more worse things past/present and I'm sure future. To the women of HoF I apologize, you certainly are not the worst. I would like to point out that I wasn't speaking about all of HoF but my words did affect all of them as well as others on DU.

I would like to think I'm better than what I was in that moment, but we all have our moments. I've always been able to apologize when I'm wrong, even if it's not right away, it will happen. It doesn't matter if *I* think I'm wrong (in this case I do) if I've ever been the cause of someone's pain I will apologize.

I was and am very frustrated and disappointed by a lot of what I see going on here; those are the words I should have used. I will continue to point out things I disagree with, hypocrisy when I see it, and I will stick up for people that *I* believe have been wronged.

Having said that, I hope you accept my apologize it is given with sincerity.
