Mr. Kinsella,
I suppose prudence and wisdom are some of the privilages of age and I have
seen that i get too easily caught up in what i believe to be resiliance and
persaverence; upholding the things i sincerely believe. I apologize to the
entire group if i have been acting inappropriately. Though I will not, as I
am sure none of you would, concede to Candice's remarks about my "ignorance"
or any likewise comments that aim to down-grade my own intelligence. If many
of you feel that i have little understanding about the problems involved in
language theory and the mind, then so be it, but I would hardly expect any
of you to sit back and accept attacks on your intelligence. I claimed that I
had no idea about what i was saying in order to end the futile flow of
discussion, but now I regret that I did seeing how it has prompted Candice
to feel that she has the right to solidify her own account of who I am. It
isn't pleasant Candice and I am sorry that you feel that way. In any case, I
do sincerely hope that I will be able to continue being involved with this
list.
Honestly, I am really a sweet person at heart and I suppose that is why i
took many of the posts as personal challenges. For that I do sincerely
apologize. In some way I suppose electronic-based discussion can acquire a
strange character of its own and it often shocks me to think how different i
would behave if i was face-to-face with all of you. I suppose I would be a
tad bit embarresed by how i have stated most of my responses, especially,
how i started out and for that I also apologize to Mr. Kinsella. I really
had no right to say all that. (strangely enough i feel as if im at
confession, though ive never done that). In any case, Im sobering up...
most sincerely,
daniel
