I didn't say I'd refuse to do the same for you, I had prior arrangements elsewhere with friends and so I couldn't be online.
As a matter of fact.. had your apology stood.. and you actually meant it.. yes infact I would of apologised in return. If you'd of known anything about this site you'd know I always apologise.
Ask Dave aka GIJOCK. Ask Outrider.. ask G.S ask most people here on Joe Dios.. I've made lots of mistakes.. and yet I always apologise.

The bottom line is your a new member, you claim you want respect but seem to show none to the people you expect to embrace you?
You insult a well known members poor language... and tell them they are a joker.. then tell me I'm racist because you brought up colour in a phrase?
Finally.. because you mentioned that your apology wasn't meaningful I only think it shows how true your intentions really are from the outset.

I can't then be sure how truthful your words are if you apologise to someone and then admit it's not true or meant from the heart.

As for me, you might of read elsewhere I wont be around here, so that's fine. You've been on here one night and claimed you would do this and do that, but what really have you achieved at all?

Your certainly not the bigger man you claim to be. And for the record yes I am going to apologise .. why? Because I feel it's necessary.

Tripwire and Blackdragon, I do apologise earlier for my actions, I did overstep boundaries but i done so protecting a well know contributor to this site. I'm sure in the light of day you've helped protect family or friends. Sometimes even then you'd be willing to overstep or break rules to help a friend out, that is all I was doing.
Was it right? No it wasn't but I couldn't just let you insult my friend. So in doing what I always do I insulted you back, Again I apologise.

I am very very sorry.

You are well within your rights to refuse the apologies, however it should be noted I have offered them.
I wish you both well on your collecting and your gi joe goals. whatever they might be.

Pru, I also apologise to you as well. I did email you earlier trying to explain my causes and my actions and believe me your work here is highly underated and I am sorry for any distress or aggravation i've caused.
Goodnight.
Regards
Richard
