Apology

Well I just read this from the “Guidelines for healthy discussion” post-

Mannerly conduct

It is a given that flaming, rude comments, and personal attacks are not acceptable here.
Consider that you are joining a community marked by good will and a shared committment to learn and to help others learn. Thus it is expected that all discussion participants will:

- read others' posts with care and deliberation
- strive to understand the position of those who disagree with you
- value your own experience and knowledge, and allow the same for others
- write your own posts with care and deliberation
- don't hog...keep your posts to a size and frequency which allows others an equal place in the discussion
- respect the intention of the person who originally posted and keep discussion relevant to the topic or question if that is his/her expressed wish, or the wish of others engaged. Always feel free to begin a separate question yourself if a tangent seems particularly interesting or important.
- feel quite free to disagree, but engage in friendly disagreement
- remember that humor and a friendly manner can go far in encouraging your readers to 'hear' your opinion
- and, make your posts helpful to the whole community by following the rules of good scholarship below.

I think I must apologize for my abuse of every rule listed above. I also expect apologies from most of you for your abuse of the rules as well!!

And for those of you who don’t get sarcasm Go Away!
