JFKY :

""I do not compare you to Hitler .

For once i feel BW may be suffering unduly because of past actions.

 

now i do not wish to get embroiled an argument about insults (which it clearly was)

 

But Im willing to accept his comparison was soley of egos  and that at no time did he mean to imply Herald was a racist anti semetic sosciopath.

 

To be fair i suspect people are quick to see offence here because its BW and he tends to get up peoples noses -

 

 

so i ask in the spirit of cooperation and to prevent this degenerating into a very defensive arguments that every one chalks this to a misunderstanding and let it drop

 

 

BW  be more aware things dont allways translate to others the way you meant.

 

I recall once being on the wrong end of some real vitriol simply because i said  quote you have to admire the way he ( hitler0 can work a crowd

 

people i was with could or would not distinguish between acomment regarding his oratory skills and outright support for his policies. 

 

no amount of argument could get them to conceede  that stating he was a brilliant public speaker (which he was) did not mean l liked or admired the man.

 

For the record i find him abhorrant

After reading your posts , Posters  , I understand that I triggered something I did not want to .

I sincerely apologize to everbody and especialy to Herald . Herald , I never meant to compare you to A.H .

 

Sincerely , Fred .

 

Cheers .

 

You need to reflect on what you did.and why you did it. I am sure that you mean your apology but only because now you want to avoid the bullseye and stigma you put on your own back. I don't think an apology (which  I accept pro forma) is going to save you from the cpnsequences of your own actions here. I harp on persoinal responsibility and owning your own mistakes and taking responsibility for them because they are your mistakes. Better you confess tour error and admit you are wrong than have someone like me come along and deal wuth you.

 

As for ego, I have a healthy one. I don't think that you have an idea of just how healthy. See I can admit mistakes.and bias.

 

ATTEND:

 

Foran  example of my bias, I have a huge one against individuals who have a chip on their shoulder because they think that they are unfairly treated because of their class, or nation, creed, or so forth when they have no factual grounds to have such a refusal to accept responsibility for their ownh faulires as an individual in a specific case..

 

I also have a bias against those too stupid and stubborn to shut up and learn and of course those who LIE.

 

Those are my faults. I admit them. I also make some factual errors and I can't type, but I try to get the important stuff right and when I make a mustake and I find it before someone else, I admit it, rather than let it sail on through. My last example of this  was on the Australua board when I got the dates for introduction of two ship classes wrong and miscalculated a buy schedule using those wrong dates.

 

So while I accept your apology, I understand exactly what motivated it and why you had to offer it   I want you to know that, poster and to know clearly that you are not dealing with some gullible fool.
