Ever been a Tool, I was

Hi Guys,
Ever been a tool, well I was last night that had some repercussions from fellow members, and rightfully so.

I made comment, and was rude in my conversation to a foreign person I had never met, yep, I was angry, but that was no excuse.

I now openly apologise for my poor behavior, and I hope that this dose not happen again.

I did have a moment, but that is no excuse.

Leon

Yep, been there, done that, and felt rotten for a long time.

I apologized and it was accepted but the words were already out there.

Thankfully the ISS member I upset is a great bloke

None of my business, but was this a comment included in the thread, or a PM or email or something?

I see nothing in the thread that one should have to apologise for.

I edited my thread and deleted the offending words. I might just put this to rest.

Thank you.

Leon

Leon, anyone can be a tool. That's easy.

But only a good person will publicly apologize.

You've apologised, openly.

You were but a temporary tool...!

Wasn't having a go Leon. It's none of my business as I said. Having seen only the edited version of events, I thought you were being a little hard on yourself.

Good on you for apologizing though, a lot of people wouldn't.

Talking/chatting on forums is a really different form of socialising, I think.

Unfortunately I've been guilty a few times of bad/immature behaviour

I sent some pm's to apologise.

Unusual to see anything but your friendly character on IIS Leon.
