Don't feel too bad. If you look back at the history of this board you'll find that I too have often gotten embroiled in conflicts that would never have happened face to face. The problem is that internet communication lacks the nuances that allow our words to be understood with the proper intent. In fact it got so bad with some people that we agreed never to hold a truly serious argument over any written medium again.
BTW I am truly glad, as mixedup as it sounds to see someone else who isn't afraid to stand against the tide. If I was facing down a hostile mob it is people like you that I would want beside me regardless of whether we agreed or not. God often made great use of these kinds of people in history.
: ok in my feeble attempts to communicate..my hurt feelings have got the best of me..and i unknowingly hurt people..i hope yall know i am not out to get yall..i just hurt..and at time hurt people hurt..
: IN awe..unearned friendship
: ___________________________________
: Pardon me for the times that i added another layer to the wall of separation..
: instead of loving you.
: Please understand that i hurt..i fear..yet i am your friend..
: Those times..i hurted..and did not laugh with you.
: Too busy remembering the pain that you did not cause.
: Those moments should have been filled with joy..I overloaded my portion with sadness.
: Forgive me friend,and yet you still are hear.
: It boggles me..leaves me in awe with mouth wide open.
: This never was earned...what you do..for me..the small things..unforgotten.
