True. He owes you a public apology.


Post what you said. I don't have to look up your apology.

Don't try and wiggle out now!

About three minutes after I wrote (humorously, I had hoped): "My ruling is
that Stormie owes HeyBub an
apology for calling him a Nazi. -That was uncalled for" Stormie did indeed
apologize.

He changed the name of the thread and added (and who is mistaken?), which
is why you might not have seen it but he did write this:

Like I say, sometimes subtle distinctions don't quite register in my
mind. Aparently, Godwins refers to the MENTION of Nazis, not the calling
someone a N-word. I aparently got that wrong. That said, I'm starting to
figure out that you didn't refer to name calling, and I was mistaken.
Anyhow, sorry for calling you a N-word, that was clearly a mistake on my
part.

As much as I've chided SM for violating the 9th commandment about bearing
false witness, I had to post this in the interest of truth and fairness and
a slight fear of violating the same commandment on Easter Sunday.

Was it a real apology? Added the "and who is mistaken" could give a person
doubts, but it was there. Stormie's subsequent posts most likely reflected
feelings of have his apology rejected. I know I have reacted the same way
when an apology was not accepted. In this case, because of the thread name
changes, there's no telling where it showed up, though and it could have
easily been missed.

It would be great if in the name of Passover and Easter both men could just
cease and desist. In the interests of fairness, Richard, also called a
Nazi, deserves an apology as well.

This is what comes of starting off-topic, cross-posted political threads.
There's one than one lesson here.
