Greetings:

In a posting the other day --- Pat Brown said that he was just going to turn on the filter to remove my posts. After reading that message --- I did the same.

Hopefully this will remove this problem from this message board. This is not productive and I regret making my honest feelings about Pat a public issue. I had no right to do that.

My hope is that by both of us turning each other off that it will remove this repetitive feuding.

Because of my own life experience, I have very strong feelings about the rights of fellow human beings --- yes --- they are human beings. Pat saying they are the reason for the moral decay in this country --- was simply TOO MUCH as far as I was concerned. That statement by Pat was neither factually or historicallly correct --- but I'll leave THAT for an other time. It was TOO MUCH --- and I acted inappropriately.

What I should have done instead was taken Kevin's advice, and wish upon Pat instead that his children should grow up to be compassionate adults, who have respect for ALL fellow human beings. (Thanks Arizona Kevin, yes my heart is in the right place. I try.)

So, please accept my apology for posting that.

Thank you for the kindness of your time . . .
