Apology

I'd like to offer up an apology to someone who asked to remain anonymous. I fully respect the reasons why he/she wanted anonymity.

I used some strong language in a post a while back. I didn't read the email in response to the post until recently. I totally understand why I was called out and replied to about the language I used.

I don't apologize for my editorial or opinion but I do apologize for the offending language. I didn't so much offend the person who replied to my post but I did reach an unintended audience and my response was very inappropriate when viewed through the eyes of that audience....that was never my intention.

In life there are people we view with unquestionable and unconditional admiration and love. So when someone speaks or writes in a bad way about that person, the admirer is upset and disturbed that someone could say such things. There are very few lines I won't cross. However given the email that was sent to me and the person that held this emailer in high esteem, I feel I did cross a line I never should have crossed. For that I'm truly sorry.

I wish I could do or say more but the person requested anonymity and I respect that but at the same time I hope this person accepts my sincerest apology. I think this episode makes me a better person by reminding that I write for an audience and sometimes that audience doesn't need to see my worst side.
