An Apology

Apparently a recent post of mine has caused some here to be offended.  I was unaware of the controversy as I was completely blitzed today with work, and was surprised to receive an email stating that my post had been deleted! ("The Cloud" ate it..)

It was a poor attempt from a "Messianic Redneck" at humor.  I guess in my overexcitement of the new pre-pub Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud Collection (50 Vols.), I made an error in judgment and was hasty with the post.  When I told my wife what I said, she just shook her head ( apparently I am known for my obscure humor?) and said "they are going to think you are a racist!"  So, in the future whilst drinking brandy and smoking cigars I promise I will run my posts by my wife first!

So sincerely,  I ask that you would quench the fire of your anger (do not light a fire on the Sabbath!) and accept my deepest apology.

Shabbat Shalom,

Nathan

P.S.  I do not expect replies...would just rather forget the whole thing! <grin>..  And anyway I didn't get to see anyones replies...probably a good thing.

    Thanks, Nathan. It's been such heartfelt apologies when one unintentionally wronged another that have kept our user community a friendly and growing one. Blessings. You are forgiven.

    would just rather forget

    forget what?  why is this even here?  btw, how far is the east from the west?

     

    Brain waves here have no recollection.

     

    As for bad jokes, foot in mouth,  etc, I have had my share.  I too, have learned to listen more to my wife.  But in a way, your situation reminds me of a preaching class I had once.  I was giving a practice sermon to my peers, and had a slightly humorous, slightly biting illustration about farmers.  We had some older non-trads (who were probably younger than I am now, lol) who raked me over the coals for my "poor taste" illustration against farmers.  The thing was, I grew up on a farm.  My dad was a farmer still.  But if people don't know your context, things you say can look very very bad to them.

    I like Apples.  Especially Honeycrisp.

    yes, Dave, allll my questionable material was deleted by President Bob himself.  But the remaining 6 or 7 were sooo good Dan Pritchett argued for me keeping my star.   [H]

    Actually, this happened yesterday, and it has to do with my login not working ("invalid") so i tried inserting another email and my usual password--and it worked!  (not sure why, I never set up another account ID).  But I lost my post count.  Ongoing investigation.

    Contact Dave Ladiges (or he probably reads this forum) he had to help clean up a similar incident for me.

     

    @OP Um, ok.  I was gone for a day so.... forgiven.  [:D]

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.

    It happened to me some time ago after I called to the CS to change my ID email address. Dave Ladiges repaired that for me.

    But of course, my posts were harmless, I am not sure about yours, may be Logos is just happy they are gone... [:D]

    His posts aren't gone, just the links to them from his profile page. But we can still find them with Google. Even all the questionable ones. [;)] It's happened before to others, too (Terry Poperszky, I recall), whenever they change email addresses. And it's fixable.

    Yes, I know, as I said, it happened to me also. It was meant as a joke. Sorry if it haven't come across...

    I know. I was joking back again. Smileys all around on both of our parts. No worries. I do have a sense of humor. [:)]
