That is certainly ironic! I will try to find the passage where Jesus is asked how often we should forgive those who sin against us. He says 70 x 7 which equals 490. I would not interpret it as "490" but rather unlimited.
I think I'd lose track after 7, so no pointing in trying to cut off forgiveness at 490.
Still, that was a back-handed offer of forgiveness. And the mixed message seems intentional - the The Wolf Pack has decided to spare you, you against the Wolf Pack. The whole image is rather disturbing.

I offered my apologies to separate persons and not to a group of people. I need to know who forgives me and who doesn't. Voting on such a thing by a group of people is "not done" in my book.
It seems that some members of the wolfpack interprete my apologies as some sort of surrender to their tactics and or opinions. Of course they are mistaken. I will keep on stating my opinions on whatever subject I find necessary.
I think the whole idea of a number of people operating on RHP as one group against certain other debators is not desirable. I always raised my voice against this and I will keep on doing this.
We should not forget that the mistakes were not made by just one side.
Coletti: "And the mixed message seems intentional - the The Wolf Pack has decided to spare you, you against the Wolf Pack. The whole image is rather disturbing"
I agree.
Don't apologize... infact, I'd request more of the same. More abuse and insults for all, you know they deserve it. Plus, you've got to keep people on their toes.
Try to work the phrase "Whinny little be-atch" into otherwise civilized conversations. Brillant and subtle changes of peoples names are always welcome. For example Maustrauser would become Asstrousers and Ivanhoe would, of course, lose the e and become IvanHO. LOL I crack myself up.

Originally posted by ivanhoeI have yet to receive the flat of your blade (but then again I don't pay attention) but I think your general apology is one of the best things yet in these forums-life is too short to keep the same enemies and have the same fights ad nauseum
I offer my apologies to everybody I ever insulted, degraded, ridiculed or made angry or sad during a discussion or otherwise at RedHotPawn.
I apologise and ask your forgiveness.

You have the one of the funnest profiles I've seen so far. Makes it hard to get pissed at you. 🙂
By the way I was going to stick you with the label of Colonetti, but, I've thought better of it. You are after all a fellow engineer and brotherhood is everything. Never let it be said that restraint isn't one of my virtues.

I am truly sorry if I have offended you in any way. Thank you for being a good soul -- whom I treasure as a brother. I hope to be worthy of your forgiveness some day. Those early wars we had seem trival compared to the assault the world has launched against reason and truth.

Originally posted by ivanhoeYou're killing me! The 'kinder & gentler' Ivanhoe has go to go. This lovey dovey stuff with the holding hands and the hugging has got to stop. Unleash the righteous indignation we've come to know and love. Bottling it all up will make your head explode.

Say it with me: "Kinder Gentler's Gotta Go! Kinder Gentler's Gotta Go! Kinder Gentler's Gotta Go!"
