bigjohn,

I'm going to break ranks for a second and acknowledge that your comments comparing craigsub and the president were poorly worded and I can understand why craigsub is having a hard time believing you didn't mean what you typed in the way he's taking it. Because I've come to know and respect you as a person since you arrived on this forum, I sincerely believe that you didn't intend to demean craigsub. You've said as much, and the ball is fully in craigsub's court as to whether or not he chooses to believe your re-statement of intent.

craigsub,

By the tone of your responses, it is quite clear bigjohn offended you -- and you do have the right to feel so. However, in the interest of forum brotherhood, can you give him the benefit of the doubt? Look through his posting history. He really isn't the type to willfully offend other posters.
