		<description>Thanks very much for the apology.  This is one reason why email is sometimes a horrible communication medium.  Unless you overtly qualify your responses with &lt;tongueincheek&gt;&lt;/tongueincheek&gt; qualifiers, things can and often do, get misunderstood.

My first post while admittedly a little harsh was (in my mind, anyway) a good-natured rib.  I don't know if you read Jason's blog regularly, but from time to time, he scotch tapes together "attack ads" and they usually get panned for their quality (or lack thereof).  He called me a fool in his response and the rest, as they say, is history.

I post anonymously because I'm not in the sphere of politics and I may post from time to time when I should be doing other things.  I make sure I don't abuse this anonymity, however, and I try very hard not to make it personal.

BTW, you were definitely right about the logos that guy did up for Jason.  The first one was awesome.

Thanks again and best regards.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;"... agree with everything you wrote."&lt;/blockquote&gt;

... except for the "insulting the man part". I'm being awfully imprecise today.

Accept my apology.</description>

		<description>I read the &lt;a href="http://jasoncherniak.blogspot.com/2007/04/new-cherniak-on-politics-logo.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;thread&lt;/a&gt;, Hy.

I said you were "acting like" one and I chose the &lt;em&gt;qualifier&lt;/em&gt; on purpose.

You weren't just criticizing his logo's shortcomings as was I, you were insulting the man who is trying to make something of himself on a budget. I agree with everything you wrote.

Just not your way of writing it.

Anyway, you said:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Call me a fool, asshole...whatever if it makes you happy.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

... so it's not like I picked the term out of a hat.

Anyway, I apologize if I overstated my thoughts because I probably attributed Angrywest's comment to you in error in my haste.

I have no quarrel with you except to say that criticizing Cherniak's label and, on that political blog (which this isn't), even his party's leader's recent strategy is in good taste and helpful, but I thought you were unnecessarily put downish.

Now gee. I feel like we're in kindergarten.

But whatever. Remember, the qualifier... I didn't call you an *ssh*le and that's on purpose because I don't think you're one.

Thanks for dropping by!</description>

		<description>I'm an asshole?  Why?  Because I pointed out how horrible looking Cherniak's logo was after he proudly posted it and invited comments?  Read the thread.  It's Cherniak, then you who descend into name calling.</description>
