Frank, I now realize that you've been going through this for the last couple of days, including earlier today when you made your well intentioned post about the inauguration, which a number of us, myself perhaps more than anyone, responded negatively towards.

I never intend any of my comments of this nature personally but I can see how you might have felt reading these responses at a time like this. I would never want to add, even a slight bit, to anyone's feelings of hurt at a time like this. Please accept my apologies if anything I said in that post offended you; I had no idea what you were going through and never meant to post anything that would upset you.

I couldn't say it better than Steve so...what SSS said.

I never would have whipped out my pointy stick If I had only known. My timing stinks but the death of your mother in law stinks way more.

Please accept my condolences and apologies.

My condolences to your family.

Thank you and, believe me, no apologies are necessary. None at all.

Well, you're a lot more gracious than I would have been.

My condolences and best wishes to you and yours, Frank.

My condolences to your family, Frank. It's really tough losing a parent. I know firsthand. Hang in there. We're here for you, and Pam too.

Since we rarely know each others' states of mind, or details about what one another are going through, perhaps we should always temper our comments more carefully. The fact that both of you are now apologizing for earlier comments only because of the tragedy that Frank is going through makes me think that perhaps they shouldn't have been made in the first place. What a great place this would be if there were always more consideration for the respondee.

Well, my goodness. I am not perfect.

I said something I should not have at a time that I should not have said it and then I apologized. I can't take back what I said.

What else do you want from me?

You better clear away a large chunk of your time if you're going to bring it up every time someone on this bored says something that is is ill timed or not very nice.

I'll try once more. You apologized not for what you said, but for the unfortunate timing of it. The point I was trying to make was that since we rarely know if something is going to be ill-timed or not received nicely by the recipient, we should be more careful about what we say - all the time. I rarely get involved when not-so-nice things are said to others. I thought this was a good example to learn from. Perhaps not.

This is not the thread for this debate.

Take it outside, would you please?
