A general apology to DU for a nasty remark

Hello Democratic Underground;

Yesterday I made a nasty remark as a reply on a thread that I read (I won't reprint it). I figured afterwards that I had redlined it and of coursed I got sensored for it.

This is my formal apology.

I didn't really start out with the intention of offending anybody. It just sort of happened on its own. I will make everybody at DU a committment to keep the really nasty stuff to myself from now on.

Sincerely,

C Melvin.

when you get a post hidden you are supposed to go to Help and Meta to start a whole new thread complaining about it.

kidding (sort of) good for you to apologize, but juries are erratic - some would have left it - trust me. Don't stress about an occasional hidden post.

of apologising like this normally. But about three seconds after I posted I felt like what I had said was out of line myself. So I thought an apology was in order. I try to be as community oriented as possible. But thanks for your support.
