I've apologized when I felt it was necessary. Most of the time I don't DO things I am going to need to apologize for. IMO some people here do such things all the time. But that's ONLY my opinion.

I feel no pangs of conscience for anything I've done to you or on SI. I only know the hunting packs I've seen (limited to the males I mentioned, really)- I don't wander anywhere else or lurk around to see what people do on other threads. The people who needed apologies from me got them in a timely fashion. I was trying to be as fair as I could to your idea- because even though I completely disagree with it, I was trying to see how you could see things that way.

JLA, I think Rambi had something a little different in mind, when she used the term "third party posts."

As I understand it, the term refers to a "private" conversation, conducted on a public thread, about a third party. In other words, Joe, Bill, and Mary (sorry X, but some females do this, too) post a series of giggly little messages to each other about what a dork Annie is. They do not post directly to Annie, who can't really respond to these "privately" made remarks, even though she is right there. It's sort of like a gaggle of popular high-schoolers sniggering among themselves at the Class Dweeb, loud enough for said Dweeb to hear (and be mortified by).
