Perhaps we are much alike in that we both have a humorous side which tends to come out snarky at times. IMO, a lot of the things we discuss are serious. I imagine it is to you as well.

Truly, I do respect those many here who have so much diplomacy. I tend to be more heart on the sleeve, not always an asset.

It's clear I've need of skills development. At risk of failure, I assure you I'll attempt to be more polite towards you.

It seems I've unintentionally (perhaps personally) offended you more then anyone has. Can you forgive me? I trust I can count on your not holding a grudge and having a bit of patience as well.
