See, you put me in a spot that I am sure I will get bashed on no matter what
I do here. If I do post here, I will be re-entering a thread I said I was
out of, and If I do not reply then it will be used against me as I refused
to apolisize. So basically I am dammed if I do, and dammed if I don't. So
with that:
If anybody was offended by the word "a**hole" then I, Mark papenfuss do
sincerly apologize for that. It was not put here to offend anybody in any
way, shape or form.
Now for the explanation: That word is ued on the radio and the television
(and no, not cable tv) where I live. I know it was considered to be profane
in the past, but since it has been popping up in the media that I watch and
listen to then I do not consider this a profane word. You may feel
differenly, this is up to you. I think your time would have been better
spent addressing the lego porn that was posted on this site than a word that
is used on free-tv.
Now, that was not too hard, I apolisized for something others thought was
wrong, even though I did not feel the same way. i hope Eric takes notes from
this.

And this is really my last post to the admin.nntp thread, no matter what.

| (...) Not much of an apology. I hear all sorts of nonsense on TV. However, I have to sense to know what is on TV is not necessarily right or wrong.
