I am SO sorry Jesse, I can see how you would have thought that I was calling
you a arrogant liar, but I really don't think that about you, I was just...
well... being a total jerk and I am really sorry.

Cool! there ain't nothin to convert me to brother! I admire your ability to
quote versus off the top of your head! I am not yet at Job in my reading.

I am so sorry Jesse!  I really don't think that you are a arrogant liar,
those earlier posts of mine were admitently foolish and I am sorry

Well my earlier post to you today answers that for you!

Everyone is different and everyone has the ability to be who they are,
unfortunately I was not following this statement earlier today.

I am so incredibly sorry! Please accept my very sincere apologies to you. I
was being extremely rude and offensive and I am very sorry. I am sorry to
hear about that last statement, I was obviously not being very thoughtful or
kind and was acting like a complete jerk.
