| Unfortunately, I have to admit that I am guilty of seeing 
a quick joke and trying to be funny.  My father warned me about this, (son, 
if there is one thing I wish I could do over again, it's to not 
say the quick quip sly witticism, and the cheap jokes I've said).  For 
some reason, I didn't heed his advice last night.  I am sorry.  I made 
a cheap, sleazy attempt at humor, and have caused some hurtful and angry 
reactions, causing hurt feelings that could and would 
have been avoided.   If I ever meet anyone on a ride (those who know me, 
and know my horse, know we are talking about 12 months from now) I 
will try my best to apologize in person (if you remind me, I don't really want 
to draw more attention to myself at the end of the pack).     I wish I could blame it on falling off my horse a few 
times on the same day, but I can't.  I didn't suffer a stroke, nor was I 
under the influence of mind altering substances (not even sugar).  I saw a 
cheap, and sleazy shot at humor, and I admit I took it.   I am sorry.   Charles

 Charles, Charles, Charles.....I think we need to talk.  As one who 
  used to be "top dog" as far as the most offensive person on Ridecamp (that was 
  before Amber joined), even I, one who has survived for over 3 years on RC, 
  know there are just some things we don't talk about on here.  I think you 
  might have "touched" on one of them.     |
