I felt my post was non-judgmental. They are gone because Bob requested them back. As I stated “I’ll try to paraphrase, because I’m tired of all this.†I did paraphrase. But I did so from one side of the story – That being VBMX’s side. Bill is my friend and I trust him. But it is one side of the story. I did not go to Bob and ask his side of the story. This was unfair of me.
After a couple emails back and forth between Bob, Bill and Greg, I feel I owe Bob an apology. Before posting, I should have asked Bob his side. Perhaps I would have a different opinion, perhaps not. But it would have been the fair thing to do.
Last night I sent this note to Bob:
quote:Bob responded and made some good points. We do not agree on all issues. But I respect Bob and he deserved the opportunity to respond before I posted about him as I did. There are two sides to a story. I posted one side - not two.
Hello:
Bob, I owe you an apology. I over reacted to your emails to Bill and Hal. I don’t agree with your actions, but I respect you and I should have not posted. I reacted in defense of my friends much in the same way you guys reacted for Bryan. I see Bill as the underdog in this situation and didn’t see this as fair. Couple with the 5 day round trip to Taiwan and sleep deprivation and I can explain may post, but I can not excuse such behavior of myself. This is not behavior that I am proud of and wish I could retract.
But I can not. So I apologize for my actions. I will never post another word about this and would like this all to die.
Sincerely,
Ben
So, my last words publicly about any of this are “I apologize to Bob Osborn. I treated him unfair and for this I was wrongâ€.
Please let me be the last jack *** to beat this dead horse of an issue. Everyone wants to move on.
May I please request this post and the orignal thread be locked so we can move forward?
Ben
