I believe it is in my best interest to post this apology. As of late my word choice has been poor, maybe even offensive. Despite my grievances with the user: PunkMaister, I believe this apology should also be directed at him in some capacity. In part due to my recent comment regarding his views on socialism. I am also sorry for the threat, although humorous, damage was still possible. Understand I did not say anything out of anger, it was merely a poor choice of words that came across in a poor way. This is also partly directed at ZenitYerkes, who has taken offence to my word choice in the past. I meant no personal harm.
I will extend this to the administrative staff as well, you will see a more logical Spock from now on. From this point onwards I will endevour to nip my use of ad hominem in the bud. It is not warrented, especially in this community. For this, I am trully sorry. Sincerely, Spock

Logic is sound, i'm sure the community will not hesitate welcoming you back. Especially as through this, you have engaged the issue with a sense of decorum. It's good to have you back, and realising you have maybe done wrong is the first step to acceptance, but to be honest i have had no problems with you at all

I just viewed the socialist thread..I admit it was too late and I pick up that some of the posts may be edited or deleted.
I think you're brave for apologizing but on the other hand I don't think you should apologize for putting your views out there..that's what freedom of speech is supposed to be for. I think many people are touchy about particular subjects..

Make no mistake I will continue to debate 'for' my views with careless abandon. From now on I will be more 'logical' and use hopefully no ad hominem.

Hmmm such is the will of the masses.
Not to be cynical but I think that people only need to change their views or apologize if they attack or degrade others. Simply stating your views on an ideaology should never condemn you..

I have followed the "exchanges" from time to time---I believe that you have gained stature by this & I salute you for this gesture. May you walk in peace---Live long and prosper.

Everyone makes mistakes or does things they are not proud of doing. I think what is important is the next step people take after realizing they made a mistake or did something they wish they hadn't done. Apologizing is a good next step to take in my opinion.

....Am I the only one here who doesn't think this thread even necessary? I honestly didn't see anything remotely close to deserving an all-out apology thread. So... I dunno if this offends you or not, Spock, but I don't think you did anything wrong, and I think some of the censorship that's been pulled was absolutely unnecessary. Am I the only one here who thinks this? |

This thread has all reason to stay. We can't delete threads simply because some users deem them unnecessary
![]() Oh and, I've never had any problems with you, Spock, and this thread proves this even more - great to have you in this community!

Hey Spock, we'd had our frictions in the past, but I think we've got it all sorted out with the visitor messages.
So you don't have to apologize to me for anything.
