It was not my intention to 'slam' you. I would not have posted the message
had I realized you felt it contained anything of a sensitive nature. I did not
percieve anything in there that would be incendiary of any nature. You critiqued
my comments, which I enjoyed and I critiqued yours. True, we were brunt with each other
but not in any way that I felt was hostile to each others persons.

To test or challenge or mentally wrestle with each others perspectives, sometimes even
roughly is often a good thing if done in the right spirit...it sharpens us. One only
has to review the Keely archive and view the various discourses between different members to see that
this holds true. If I have offended you which it appears I have then please accept my express
apologies. My intention was only to criticize your methods not your person. I hoped
to provoke / challenge a rigourous comeback from you that might cause me deeper thought
and make me look deeper into some of my own understandings. I will quite plainly state that
I enjoy your posts in general and look forward to more from you. I just didnt agree
with some of your methods and perceptions which I felt were not terribly 'scientific'
but rather of a religious nature. Its ok to have both, I just feel that this should be stated
as such. As for the posting, the URL that was in the message seemed very relevant to
the 'non-seneschistic' topic I raised and I wanted to share it with other members.
My goal was not to 'hurt' you in any way, I simply didnt see anything in your post that
I thought would cause any one would think poorly of you. We already know you are bright, sharp
and have a welcome and interesting perspective on things... nothing in the message, in my estimation
could have indicated otherwise.
