So let me get this straight.

X asks for an apology, then puts me on ignore? And I'm supposed to leave the "baggage" behind? I think maybe you are poking the wrong person.....

And, BTW, what is the context there?

. A noble experiment. In that context, it seems to me that X or anyone else is welcome on this thread until and unless she or he breaks the rules and that old animosities should not be a factor here, in this place. As part of expressing that perspective, I have made a personal request to Bill, Laz, and you to set aside the baggage. I don't think that I am condoning hypocrisy by proposing a fresh start for everyone on this thread.

This sounds like a very good idea to me. BB is an example of what happens when attitudes like the one you suggest prevail, and animosities such as the one I've been witnessing and engaged in there become the subject.

I think it would be a really good thing, and somehow heartening, if the civil tone established here were extended by and to X and all others. It could be an experiment, even!

Is the Kholt Experiment something JLA, Bill, Laz and others could give a chance? Guys? I'm up for it.
