Apology

Q

Qu0ll

I apologise unreservedly to Roedy Green for accusing him of being a spammer
and a liar. Whilst I remain unconvinced of Roedy's innocence in these
matters, this is irrelevant. I cannot prove otherwise and therefore should
never have made those accusations in a public forum. I also apologise to
this newsgroup for my unpleasant, troll-like behaviour and for perpetuating
an off-topic thread.

I hope everyone realises that this recent behaviour is not typical of me.
Though I don't expect or deserve anyone to feel sorry for me, I would like
to say that it's the recent passing of my beloved mother and a change on
Monday to the many medications I require just to get out of bed each day
that has left me behaving in an erratic, moody and unbalanced way whereby I
am upset by the slightest things and find fault with everything.

Roedy's misplaced posts had very little effect on me last week but this week
seemed to be crimes punishable by death. It is simply not fair of me to
treat people in this way and so out of character that I am going to withdraw
from this newsgroup and refrain from posting on Usenet until I am feeling
much, much better.

Don't worry - I for one didn't even notice!

Whilst I remain unconvinced of Roedy's innocence

An apology is when you admit you were wrong. You didn't. You
reiterated your slander.

It is not as though I habitually pull stunts like that.

Why or earth would you imagine I would do such a thing? Are you
projecting? Imagining why someone else would deliberately mispost.

I don't know how well you know me. I am a curmudgeon, but not a
crooked one. Surely that should be obvious from my decades of public
posting.

It would be wrong for you to lie, if you truly believe that of me.
It is just that it is so frustrating that I am perceived as evil when
I try so hard to do the right thing.

Not at all. I apologised unreservedly for calling you a spammer and a liar.
I withdraw all accusations. I have said that nothing can be proved. I
don't know what else you want from me. You have made substantial positive
contributions to this group and I haven't. No one cares what I think.

My original motivation was to let you know what picture
your repeated mishaps and your blaming of ForteAgent for
your mishaps painted. What Ι hoped for, was that you would
take more care and (while lacking a changed ForteAgent) rather
make use of magnifying glasses (software or hardware ones)
to help yourself avoiding further repeatitions.

Your rather rude response to that (bringing in nazis and
then defending your so far accidental posting) surely didn't
help, and probably made more people now doubt the "accidents".

So Roedy got a taste of his own medicine, Qu0ll said things he now regrets,
some folks got upset and others entertained. This is Usenet; these things
happen. The only one who really deserves to receive an apology is Andreas
Leitgeb.

Roedy and Qu0ll both have histories of good contributions to the Java
discussions. Both mean well, ultimately. Let it go and get back to Java.

Qu0ll, I'm sorry for your loss.

Roedy, you're right about the evils of war and imperialism. Those need to stop.

Both of you, please keep contributing to these newsgroups.

Thank you Lew - she was the light of my life. It will take a long time for
me to get back to normal.

I will but I am going to take a break from everything for a while.
