Greg,

I accept your apology, even though in a sense you did very little wrong to me, an irregular participant on this board.

Learning to deliver a heartfelt apology was a difficult issue for me while I was an active Jehovah’s Witness. After becoming inactive, my company sent me to a seminar called “Lifespring” where I learned how much of an arrogant, insensitive person I had been all my life, thinking I was part of la crème de la crème, never stopping to think about other people’s feelings. I had been using the words “I’m sorry” before but only as a polite remark. Now when I say, “I’m sorry”, I mean it. I have given myself permission not to be right all the time, and now I can screw up at work, or at school, or during a social gathering and not feel like I have to justify my out-of-line behavior. “Free at last.” I hope you feel better knowing that although you felt on your face, you have already recovered face with many of the board participants and lurkers. Eventually, all the others would come around and forget the whole incident.

Stick around,

Lobo
