Maybe it's none of my business, but if someone offers an apology for something they said, then I think it should be accepted...then whatever the point of contention was should be forgotten about as soon as possible. Don't have such a thin skin, R.B., it is not good to hold grudges. Sometimes you just have to swallow your pride and move on...forgiveness is a good thing...for example, if I had forsaken everyone who has pissed me off, well, I wouldn't have any friends at all. Further, I must agree with 'DR. Cheese', generally speaking, no malice was intended that I know of, but even if there was...well, that's what apologies are all about. I don't think anyone really wants to see you leave the board, as you offer a unique perspective/philosophy...oh, yeah, and a sense of humour. So, it is my opinion you should take the apology and move on (forget it ever happened).

ps: dignity is a overrated myth.
