I promised myself that I would not post in this thread again. But, since it is still going, I need everyone to know exactly how I feel. I posted this in it's own thread but it seems, more people will read it here.

I have always said that besides politics, this is the only business where you can call your partners, competitors, friends and enemies pieces of shit in public. And, while it seems to be necessary to be able to do that just to keep everyone honest, I do long for the days when the only form of communication between webmasters was email. With the ease of conversation to many people at one time, by the time you realize you are only saying what you are saying because you have lost your temper, it is too late. I have just finished reading my posts and emails from the past several days and I am surprised at myself. People have always said of me that I have the patience of a saint. I have been communicating with webmasters, both good and bad, for almost 8-1/2 years. And, most times I do try to give the benefit of the doubt to someone I am talking to. This last week, I did not. For the people that have had to deal with my little tirades, I apologize. Most people know, I really am a nice guy.

Last week is over. Today is a new day and a new week. There isn't much more that I hate more than stupid drama. Again, I apologize to everyone involved. I am going to move on to real work and not only promise myself but to everyone else, I will not post in this thread again. I just have to say, this is the most foolish past several days I have had to deal with.
