I have openly apologized repeatedly, both before the screw up and after the fact for my unintentional offending of any one. If that isn't good enough, then there is nothing more I can do.
I figured the reason for my confusion about the red rep -- I'm red-green colorblind and the red shading isn't bright enough for me to distinguish it from the darker green. I'm not as color blind as a lot of people because I can distinguish signal red and signal green, but the shades are almost impossible for me to distinguish. I had to get someone with normal color vision to check it before I understood what everyone was taking about.
It might help others if the rep colors were a little brighter and easier to distinguish because a lot of people are red/green color blind and have the same problem.
I am what I am and have repeatedly and openly apologized for the way I come across, both after the screw up and in advance.
If my informaiton seems correct, then please disregard my wording or apparent attitude and use the information. If my information is NOT correct then ignore it regardless of how politically correct and sugar coated I phrase it. If you want a furhter explanaiton of my information or a source, please just ask for it rather than engaging in personal jabs, which I'm very prone to escalate, and I'll do my best to provide it.
I've been accused of having "busy fingers" and being long winded. The reason for that is I'm used to having to justify my answers in the setting I have worked in as well as wanting to try to avoid people basing their judgment of my information on my personality. It just seems like a lot of times giving the background up front avoids arguing and trying to explain the background or source to someone who diagrees and wants the disagreement on the information to be personal for what ever reason.
Please be assured that if I have something personally against you you will NOT have to wonder about whether or not it was personal.
So far as I can remember, I have never had anything personal against any member of the forum, even when I strongly disagreed with them.
I apologize again for offending any one with any of my opinions, beliefs or apparent attitudes. That was not my intent. I wish I could say that it will never happen again but it took 62 years for me to become what I am, and I'm not going to be able to change it quickly.
Great smoking.
