Coordinator, Acheick, and Swede:
As I have stated before, I am still learning to pick my battles. My last exchange with Swede was a total waste of time on my part, and I did over-react.
I am willing to be the first to apologize. I would appreciate a sincere apology in return.
Swede: Perhaps I did misjudge you, and perhaps what I interpreted as outright rudeness WAS just your own personality being misunderstood across cultural and language barrier lines; I'll never know, I suppose. It's not that important.
We should make the effort to get along, or we will fulfill the stereotypes the cult projects on us in order to hide as much truth as possible from their slave members.
On the other hand, when we do "make up" on-line, it does put the lie to what they are claiming, and that's very good.
It's all about recovery of members still in, by example. I do sincerely apologize.
Acheick, as always, you are very kind and gracious to all. I enjoy all of your posts, and will always count you as a friend.
Coordinator: I still don't think that the treatment of each of us, both myself, and Swede, was completely equitable, on your part; it still seems to be based on a bias on your part, and a double standard. I'm all for giving the benefit of the doubt to Swede, however.
WC spoke of letting disagreements work themselves out, recently, and I would like to see that develop. I was well on my way with Skeptic.
I will start to post by, first, copying to a Word document, and then being a LOT more thoughtful than I have been with what I write, and try to put myself more in the other person's place, BEFORE I post.
Swede, if you would do the same, I am sure you would come across as less rude and intrusive.
Let people finish their "A - B" conversations, by themselves, before you push so hard to jump in and judge, and force the conversation into an "A - B - C" mode; OK? Is that fair?
'Later!
Cheeres to all.
