I wanted to apologize to the entire DKos community for a comment I made earlier today, when replying to another member. I was bothered, as a member insinuated that I sympathized with war criminals. The comments in question and the member are not the issue and I won't share either. My reply, defending myself, was.
I deleted the diary in question. It wasn't a controversial diary and it had nothing to do with war, but it elicited strong opinions and one that was off topic. A couple of those opinions, that went back and forth, went over the top. I was part of the back and forth.
I used the term “therapy” in my reply to the member and my comment was rightly flagged by another member. The member who flagged it scolded me in their reply, that using this term was very insensitive to people receiving treatment for mental health, addictions, etc. and this member was absolutely correct. It was insensitive and totally out of character for me and very poor form.
I sincerely apologize for using this term in my reply and hope those who may have been offended by it's insensitive nature can forgive me.
I'm a human being and still a work in progress, but it was still inexcusable. I’m very sorry.
