Thank you [USER=1]@Joe Blow[/USER]


I have had time to reflect on some of my posts on this forum and now believe that they may have caused distress and withdraw them.


Intolerance and hurtful words harm all, both those who utter them and those who are the recipients. I agree that the world is composed of all sorts, including as you have given an example supposed pirates or master mariners. What matters is not any absolute assessment of a persons personality, words or motives which is in fact impossible, but rather the ability to all behave with the best of their ability to increase the common good and improve the well being of all not just on this forum but in society as a whole. And not just with those with whom one agrees nor has a natural empathy or affinity. If it gives a person a means to navigate life to have a persona on this forum, then so be it. It certainly helps me to do so which must irritate some.


Words hurt.


The capacity to block the words and opinions of people with whom one disagrees or is irritated by is valuable and should be availed of, rather than piling hurt upon individuals of whom one has no idea of their background, life nor circumstances. It does take little to be kind and life is short.


I do also value your moderation and professionalism and apologise for making those tasks more difficult.


Once again my apologies to you and any members of ASF hurt by my words. The dual blocking mechanism is a good one. I will avail of it more.
