Default An apology... Re: earlier post in which...

I ruffled some feathers - for which I apologize. I hoped more for a dialogue to evolve than a battle. Anyway, I chose language that was too strong, forceful, to be palatable to much of the audience, for which, again, I apologize.

Incidentally, I am starting to conceptually agree that "ownership trumps vision every day of the week," and that people may do as they please to the TTs design, as I should be allowed to leave mine be, if that is important to me.

I don't know what instigated my little rant, but suddenly I just had to say what I did (for the record, I blame the Aliens, they make me do strange things). Also I was distasteful in allowing a personal reflection and closely held beliefs to become "public."

Sincerely -

Well, Tex, FWIW, I think your posts are fun to read, and it's all for the love of the car anyway.

Default No apology necessary or expected or anything of the sort. You hold a position and you state it.

Others disagree or agree and all shades in between and we respond. That's the nature of civil dialog and I think we're all better, or at least better informed, for it. I appreciate the discussion. Thanks!

Default You wrote passionately....like every TT owner. No apology necessary...

however, the apology concept here on the forum is an interesting one that is often overlooked.
