Earlier I walked into a re-occurring frustrating situation and I expressed my opinion loudly and less than diplomatically. I later learned that I hurt some people’s feelings with my opinions. While I stand by my opinions, I did regret that hurt any one’s feelings. I actually felt really bad about it and wrote an email apologizing to those who were offended. I got a response to my apology that was so ungracious, childish and insulting that I had to read 3 times to be sure that I was reading it correctly. My first reaction was to respond with a “Oh, no you didn’t motherfucker!” email, but I held my tongue and ignored it. I am trying really hard to stay above this. I apologized, but now I want to retract my apology and blame this man for everything from global warming to my dog sitter catching the flu.
