Apology to those I have offended. From RichC
 

.
Hello Everyone :(

I am actually ashamed of some of my behavior on this forum.
And I wanted to make a public apology to anyone I may have offended.

And specifically to people I was quite rude to in a post about vegetable oil.

I thought it was ok to give you a hard time.
I thought this would cause a flame war in my post and make it more popular.
And bring more attention to the ideas in the post.
But doing so at your expense was wrong.

I screwed up.
And I would like to make amends.
I have learned a lesson today.

Not to use people for my own selfish reasons, no matter how justified I think I am.

My apologies to you all
Thank You
RichC

Even though I thought you were acting stupid, as a person looking into running bio and eventually SVO, I am genuinely interested in the thread you started. It is a shame those kind of threads somehow always deteriorate into fanatacism and defensiveness (on both sides) before they really get going to anything worthwhile.

I'd be interested in revisiting the topic sometime if everyone can behave.

I don't really read the veg oil posts Rich, so we were still good anyway. :D
I do however appreciate somebody who will self reflect, and then deal with the situation.
Good luck!
You could probably make it up to local folks with some of that barbecue you mentioned one time......:D

For a real, serious VO talk, this forum just isn't the place :(

For the record, I'm not familiar with the thread that you are apologizing for and I love this forum a lot :D

It was big of you to post this. Don't lose any sleep over it, I think we're all good.

What happened? VO discussion get out of control?

Where am I?

Huh????

Bbq???

Bbq?
 

I've noticed quite a few Dallas folks (and met a bunch of great guys at the Diesel GTGs over the past year). I'd love to host one some time soon if I can ever get the house work caught up.... where does the time go! (OK, hanging out endlessly on the forum doesn't help)

Hijack warning....
 

My wife is often nice enough to point that out!
I'm very much IN for a local GTG, and I bet I don't eat as much as Dan....:D Would be nice to have the Cow Town folks also.....

Back to topic, Rich, I think you can see that nobody was really sweating anything.....:)

Not nearly as offensive as the guy complaining of his wife's boobs jiggling around 'cause his car doesn't idle smoothly. Oh, the humanity! Just kidding--we all asked for video evidence. I thought the cup of you know what comment was funny, but it was a flame. Good of you to apologize.

we are all sometimes frustrated over something someone says. as long as we forgive each other and constructive comments continue, all will be well.

I'm up for a NTX gathering. Happy to offer my place.

Well, Rich, it's not like you called anybody a "nappy-headed ho," so no harm done.
