Hi All,
My loss of decorum was inexcusable and I do apologize to Greg Watson, Tom Barr, the fine people who operate The Barr Report and to anyone who witnessed my inexcusable loss of composure.
It is quite probable that Tug is right that I am just an old gasbag :gw with nothing relevant to say.
Experience is meaningless.
I am not sure why Philosophos chose to assign motive and bad intention to what is simply my opinion in a rather specific situation. Dan’s slander and misstatements do not justify my loss of composure. At no time did I denigrate Dan or his views, I simply do not agree with all of them.
I appreciate those of you who sent me your kind words.
I started here on the Barr Report as I suspect many did. For a couple of years I read and I asked a few questions, due principally to health issues I stopped and started a couple of times as a “Junior Poster” then a "Prolific Poster" this past year as I regained my health I signed up as a ‘real’ subscriber, I could not believe all the stuff I had been missing! I got my monies worth the first week or two. (Not to mention I found out I really had nothing to worry about health wise, ‘cause when you become a Lifetime Subscriber, they tell you how long that is.) (Which caused me to wonder if they send you your Lifetime membership and it expires next week, will they give you, or your heirs, a refund?)
Then I made my next mistake, which was to think I had anything relevant to add.
I am a tinkerer, I try out just about every situation I can, that I am not familiar with, I find myself rather excited about ‘new’ discoveries. I change my mind about things all the time, based on the evidence. I have found that for the most part people do not care and do not want to hear about ‘discoveries.’
I will withdraw from interaction on the forums.
This probably belongs in “Off Topic Chat,” given my ‘meltdown’ occurred in non-subscriber areas, I thought it appropriate to apologize in a non-subscriber area.
