A sincere apology especially to Dexeron and others who where offended by the events of the twelfth
Daniel.
I can admit, that the first post I made in your entry was not the best reaction I've ever done. Once I had calmed down somewhat, I realized this and deleted it to start over.
There was a good twenty minutes in that gap, a small one, that people could have seen that first post. And as far as I know, all of your friends did. And I have no knowledge that they would have seen the second. I can only assume, and hope, that the three people who did see the original were the one's that acknowledged it. Namely, you, Neo, and farawayy. The rest I hope saw the revision, which I'm sure they still disagreed with, but hopefully it was not so out of line.
I was extremely angry with you Dan, and to some extent I still am. I have seen what happens when a child grows up between divorcee's who don't at least respect the child to be civil when it is around. It's not pretty and the 'someone dear' to me is lucky that what happened happened before he grew older. That's one of the two things that I am thankful for in that whole mess. The other is that what happened was quick.
It's a personal issue to me.
It's probably a good thing I didn't see your second post and a very good thing I don't know who made comments on it anonymously. I know of it only through Lisa and that's all I need to know. She didn't tell me any of it, but she has admitted her mistakes to me; it's not like she's not giving me more or less the whole story, she's given me as much as she's comfortable with and I don't press for any more than that.
You know our relationship, you know that I'm extremely close to her. And I generally react badly when my friends are threatened, nothing enrages me more.
Longawayy (I know who he is, but for his privacy I will refer to him as such) and I had a discussion of these issues. He's genuinely concerned for you, as I am for Lisa. We had a civilized discourse during which I was calm and collected, right after I posted a revision. If you trust his opinion, then speak with him about that discussion and how my temperament was. I want you to, so you will perhaps accept this apology.
I am sorry for what I originally posted in LJ. It was wrong of me to do so. I will not remove the revision, for a couple of reasons, one I wish to have my peice on this matter, and two, the revision reminds me of what I originally posted and perhaps I will not be so uncivilized if I keep it in mind.
But I sincerely apologize Dan. I was wrong in how I handled things. If you do not accept my views, I hope that you will accept my apology in how badly I acted.
(Hasty revision: Fortunately, the case with Aiden seems to be different from what my cousin went through. Long as he comes first, I'm all right with whatever you guys do.)
