Apology

I have no cute fancy words to exonerate myself. I was wrong. I bullied you Mick because I thought you were digging at me. I was wrong. I didn't know your dog Dylan had passed, I didn't know your mood. How can a person tell on a one dimensional medium such as this? I wish you Mickey and your family all the recuperation and peace necessary at a time like this. I really do. And I bid you all farewell.

Again, I am sorry for misreading everything,
Adam

I can't speak for Mick but as for me I have "gotten it wrong" many times. I have thought I understood a post and responded with what I thought was wit or just bullshit for fun and it all went wrong. There is almost no way to backtrack when that happens Adam. But, most of us have been there - done that - and understand how this medium works. I know I've finally forgiven myself for all the mistakes and I'm hoping those I've insulted or misunderstood have forgotten by now. Most folks understand. Be kind to yourself.

I too was sorry to hear about the loss of a beloved family pet. (I actually thought he meant Bob Dylan and I was going to make a snide remark about that. That would have been horrible.)

i have been acquainted with michael a long time. he has a generous heart, one that was broken a little bit with the sad passing of his much loved dog. i am sure he knows the situation, and doubt very much that he holds any bad feelings to you

Dar and Geoffrey,

Your posts are a relief.
You've both been very kind to me on this Forum.
I thank you deeply.

I have just caught this thread. I know Michael really well and he would not be offended in any way. I doubt he was being enigmatic purposely posting something that could be misleading. I think he was really raw after Dylan went to sleep. Goodbye to Cato a few years back, now Dylan, and since then he looks at Milo with some trepidation.


He set up a Facebook page when Dylan was diagnosed with cancer. Search Dylan cocker spaniel bucket list. The posts there are as beautiful and caring as Geoffrey

I'm sorry to hear about your losing your beloved Dylan, as well, Michael.
No one knows the rawness and depth of such a loss unless they have animals they truly love and consider to be far more than just pets.
I am soon to lose my cat, Sophie, who also has cancer. She is 18.5 years.
I understand your concerns now about Milo.

Yes, Adam, as Dar, Geoffrey, and Michael have said... we all certainly understand and trust Michael to take your words in context, as we can never know everything... and sometimes just anything, about what's going on behind the veil of our screens and keyboards. And, as Dar said, I'm right there with her [as you already know, Adam!] in all the things that have gotten said with no harm intended, and much harm received. In person, we get to immediately clarify, when we see the look in a person's eyes or on their face, and the sound of their voice.


Much love,
Lizzie
