I just wanted to say that I have been an "arse" in many many ways here. A friend or two has helped direct my attention to this fact, which I already did know in my heart.

I have said nasty unkind things and devalued certain others for their issues and faults, and their viewpoints while at the same time hoping others would not do the same to me and claiming to appreciate diversity.

I have stonewalled others when I didn't agree with their take on things, and that was not fair.

I've ignored posts that at the time I really felt I should have responded to with warmth and humility.

I have held hard feelings even for people who were supposed to be my friends, because we stood on different sides of the fence at times.

To anyone I have hurt or excluded, I apologize very much. Specifically I know that list includes Dayzee, Greg, Jo, AG (I know she's gone now), Tryin (Beth), and Tomi.

If there are others, I apologize to you as well, and also apologize for leaving you off the list. It wasn't intentional.

I am very sorry.

You have incredible courage and strength to appologize for your actions. To recognize when you have wronged or hurt someone is very difficult. That to me shows your wonderful charecter. Take care. Much love to ya!!

I hadn't noticed, but cool of you to say so if others did. However, a little bite in your posts is probably good for us -- don't tone back TOO much. Be honest and be yourself. Hugs,

Angela you are not an arse, you we're basically protecting yourself from flashbacks, possible verbal retaliation (which happens here too often) your tops on my totem pole honey

Golly, this must be "make Jo cry" day at Psych Central. This is the second post today to bring tears (good ones) to my eyes.

Angela, we are all just imperfect humans in this life...so you are not an "arse" or any other name. You showed a lot of character in facing these issues, and even more in opening yourself up and publicly apologizing. For what it's worth, I think the issue of being able to see the value in someone as a person even when you are on opposite sides on something is very difficult, and I would imagine almost all of us have been guilty of the things you mention at one time or another in our lives. I know I have been.

Thank you for your apology, and I am sorry for anything I may have done to hurt you. You have taken a big step towards healing today, and for that you deserve a lot of credit.

I appreciate everyone's support in this a lot. It feels really good.

Especially you, Jo. I didn't know if my apology would be recieved, and I am very touched to see that is has been. Thank you so much (((((((((((((Jo)))))))))))))

You always show your true character Angela...even if it takes you a bit. Congrats to you for being brave and recognizing mistakes/faults.

If all of us could be that great.

Angela, you've been nothing but extremely supportive of me. My hat's off to you.

Angela~

I agree so much with some of the others here. That it takes alot of courage to apologize in public like you have. We are just humans and WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES. I know I do alot of that. I accept your apology in friendship Angela. And I hope you and others I may have offended too,will accept my apology for any ill actions I have instilled on any of you here. Take care and thanks again.

Hugz~
