I think it is a fair question and honestly I don't have a good answer for you.
If you look at the Thread List where the Last post is today, 01 Jun '16, there are 17 threads. 9 were created by one person. 8 were created by the rest of the Red Hot Pawn community. Maybe that is a good place to start.
Don't take this forum so seriously. It's just a pastime. But there's more to it than that. At least on a personal level that is.
Unfortunately for most objectivity isn't observed. They would rather find fault in someone they don't really know than discuss an issue or explore ideas.
Some are leaders in this forum as criticizers more than they are contributors of a meaningful discussion. GB is mercilessly lambasted, but never hurls insults or ridicules others.
Originally posted by josephwOn the previous page, you chose not to discuss or explore the on-topic idea I put to Grampy Bobby about his homilies about "civility" and the behaviour of some of his supporters, but instead you chose to find fault in me. In the case of your reaction to what I said, was it a case of "objectivity isn't observed"?

Would an apology copy pasted from a reputable source suffice? 😛
Please accept my deepest apologies for my mistake in regard to {state mistake}.
It was not my intention to create such an awkward and embarrassing situation for {you, institution, the team, company, etc…}.
If there was any good that came out of this unfortunate experience, it is that I have grown and learned alternative approaches to these situations.
Please feel free to let me know of your thoughts and concerns over this matter. You can reach me at {email, phone number}.

Please know that I regret that you have reacted to what I said in the way you have with regard to {state the supposed mistake}.
It was my intention to create an awkward and embarrassing situation for {you, institution, the team, company, etc…} but what a sorry state of affairs your response to it has amounted to, and I mean that sincerely.
If there was any good that came out of this unfortunate experience, it is that I have not only clocked you one right on your chin, if you'll forgive the turn of phrase, but also burnished what many will see as my magnanimity by offering a form of words that unequivocally includes the words "regret", "sorry", "sincerely", "forgive" and now ~ here ~ the word "apology" too.
Please feel free to let me know of your thoughts and concerns over this matter regardless of whether some will view what you might now say as bleating and a lack of grace. You can reach me at {email, phone number}.
Sincerely,
{Sender}

How so?
Are you native to New Zealand? Do you really think you understand what's going on here in America? I'm about five years older than you and I've lived here all my life. Not just in one place either. I know this country. We're in deep trouble. But then so is the rest of the world.
I think your profane and violent use of language expressing your thinly veiled contempt against a good man underscores my meaning. For all of GB's faults he doesn't deserve to be punished verbally by the likes of you.
GB is a nice man, but I'm not.
