Apology part II

btw- no one has to accept my apology- I mean, I missed the whole point of the episode, and I went too far by attacking it.

I had no right to do that.

I'm not PC btw, in fact I totally oppose it. It's just that the episode struck a nerve with me.

But that does not give me or anyone else the right to be offended by the show.

On the other hand, I don't know if I could ever condone it if it happened again.

I was trying to get people here to understand my situation and why I was offended. That backfired, and now I have pushed people away when I was trying to bring them closer.

I want to defuse this flamewar but I still think the wheelchair jokes were in bad taste.

I'm sorry but that's how I feel I am still adjusting to my current situation, and there are many times where I just can't handle bad jokes about it.

flame away- I can handle it. My adress is real so you can send flame mail to me as well.

I wished they had told me that disability entails things like this.

As someone said to me in email- I'm not making any friends here.

So my apology might get even more of a negative response.

I expect that. after what I have said here, it's no suprise.

Sure, you have the right to be offended by the episode. I think it's even mentioned in the Constitution. I may not agree with you, but that's *my* right. It's entirely possible that someday I'll be offended by something *you* think is no big deal.

You've made *one* (at least in a casual, Internet sense).

Relax. Have a Snapple. By Monday, we'll all be harping about Schoolhouse Rock again.

no apology needed. We all have the right to disagree.

Sure you do!! We just don't have to agree with you.

Make that 2. A net-wide apology takes guts and humility on the nett is a RARE thing.

not here. :)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Thank you for understanding. I'm hoping to 'turn off' this flamewar, and I'm glad someone had believed in my apology.

:-)

Hey! I said I was sorry! :-) :-)

Thank you :-)

I hope you're right. I'll be here on Monday to see what happens :-)
