Yes. There is a problem with definitions here. You are the only party to the "situation" being discussed. This situation was defined long ago and the parameters for its discussion and resolution were declared. You posted to or about Poet in a manner that was determined to be harmful. You and you alone are the party to the situation under that consideration. ", there is a reasonable presumption that only one person had anything to apologize for. Yes. And that is the reasoning that has prevailed. However, you decided it would be strategic to redefine the situation as being one in which people from various perspectives expressed their opinions, concerns, etc about your situation. So, you changed the focus and broadened the scope of the situation to include everyone who had any incidental contact in the discussion over your situation. In doing so, you deny the situation in which you are the soul consideration and insist upon the second situation about which to formulate a problem description and resolution. You further complicate things by insisting that they are one and the same thing. This would have been fine if everyone was willing to let you entangle the problem description. Or if people were willing to let you associate the two problems and deal with them simultaneously. No body was, so you are left frustrated ... You lost the battle long ago and were left on the battlefield with your surrender flag; only during the negotiation for terms of surrender, you had a brainstorm what if you "gave a war and nobody came?" You could remain on the battlefield beaten and bloody, shaking your your broken sabor at the wind. Everyone else left the battlefield and returned victorious to a life of topical discussion.
