For Deacon Blues

I apologize.

Please forgive me.

Continue to pray for me as there are flaws seen and unseen that I need the Lord to continue to work on.

Jermyn, please allow me to echo your feelings by offering my apologies to N David for comparing him to a cop killer. I did it in reaction to his accusations accusing me of being a racist, but two wrongs don't make a right.

I admit, I can be too direct and personal when responding to posts. Because of that, I'm not bothered by being called a liberal, leftist troll, etc. I know who I am and what I believe, as do my family and close friends. And at the end of the day, that's all that matters to me.

I owe an apology to Originalist. I violated the rules of AFF by aiming personal insults at him. I should not have called him a racist. While I believe there's an unhealthy focus and anger in many threads and posts about white victimization and black criminals, it doesn't make him a racist.

I do not apologize for defending the Constitutional rights of individuals, regardless of political party or affiliation, to protest. I will not be so ignorantly biased as to ignore the Constitutional rights of those who hold beliefs with which I disagree. Whether it's Westboro Baptist Church, blm or others.

Nor will I apologize for attacking Donald J. Trump, who is undoubtedly the most dishonest, ungodly, vile and hateful Presidential candidate in my lifetime. He's even replaced obama as the politician I dislike the most. Unfortunately, Trump has brought out the worst in people. He is not a unifier, in fact quite the opposite. He has not only expanded the divide between parties, but he has also fractured his own party and caused divisions between conservatives and Republicans.

Again, I apologize for breaking the rules of the forum and directing personal insults at Originalist.

Good.

Now that we have that behind us, we can get back to fighting each other in peace!

I must've missed something.

However I appreciate you being conscientious. Apology accepted, you're forgiven, I don't know for what, but to err is human, to forgive divine.
