Yeah, I know, I know. I'm serious here with this.
Below the croissant, please.
Edrie, I really don't think you're a bad person, or a bad blogger. Or any of that.
I know little of you beyond your comments to my blog posts.
I feel like I've failed with you. I should have tried to be more kind and understanding. Instead, I lashed out at you when you attacked my writing.
I did this mostly because I was working on very short fuses myself. I've been having a hard few years, Edrie.
I write this in the consideration that you quite possibly have been having some rough times too, some rough rows to hoe, all of that.
I write this to apologize to you, Edrie.
I don't write it to obey any rules the Daily Kos admins laid on me when they gave me the red warning box.
I write this, in fact, to dismiss that. Because if we're going to get anything accomplished here at all, on this blog, we've got to learn to work with each other.
I write this to ask you to try instead to work with me, here up in front of kos and everyone. I write this to say; "Hey Edrie; I think you're probably a really good person, and one whom I set off badly. And I'm sorry that happened, and I hope we can work together better in the future, because you would not be doing all of this if you did not care."
I got the red warning box. I acknowledged the warning.
I could have gone around all over the Internet whinging about it.
Here I am. I hope we can get along.
I'm a very different person from you, Edrie.
But I hope we can get along.
Best to you.
