to anyone concerned, please read
With consideration to some of the recent responses I have made to a couple of other forum members, I must step up and take responsibility for my words.
I may not have out and out broken any of the forum rules (I may have) but if I didn't break them I certainly did bend them to a very fine straining point.
I have no wish to apologize for what I said to the people I said them to, if I could have spoken to them face to face, believe me I would have said far worse. I do, however, wish to apologize to those who come here to learn, teach, share, and enjoy. People who are logging in to read about wilderness survival do not deserve to have to wade through all of this crap.
To those with whom I have been exchanging this pathetic little war of words(full of sound and fury, signifying....nothing--Shakespeare) if you wish to continue with your pointless tirades I will at best point out where your behavior may require moderation from our moderator. This will of course include any derogatory comments about any ethnic groups and insults to those who have served in their country's military. To those of you who have had to tolerate this nonsense on all of our parts, I thank you for your grace and forbearance and can only say that I will not allow myself to stoop to that level in the future. To have bested a fool, it has been said, is to have accomplished nothing. I have determined that it is beneath me to qualify those statements with a response.
