I've deleted many of my excess posts, where I responded without enough thought before doing so.
I would like to apologize for any feelings I have hurt. I have gone on about being civil, but it is not necessary to be rude to offend. I would hope that we could avoid this sort of conflict in future, because this is not the image that we as a community want to present. While I have tried to avoid insulting anyone outright, I fear I may have insulted all the same. I would perhaps ask for forgiveness, but I know that the internet does not forgive. So, at the very least, please, tone it down a bit.
