Courage

Dear Utah Bloggers,

I want to apologize. I had completely gone off the deep end. But in this case it was a blogger who attacked me, instead of the message. Nobody really likes their personal life attacked, what they do for a living questioned, their education or lack thereof challenged.

When someone accuses you of being a thief, well I just lost it. It's not often, but when it happens, look out. As a completive player and coach I got rejected many a time, to the horror of my family and friends. Time solves most things, and usually I come back to earth totally embarrassed.

I apologize to you and your blog readers for not being a perfect person, I have many good qualities, but this is not one of them.

Respectfully,


Mark E. Towner,

Rob,

I am having difficulty forgiving Mark, Lord knows we all need forgiveness and I will respectfully submit to his apology.

What bothers me is not any of these sophomore antics between all of us bloggers which so obviously crossed the line but more because of how Mark so easily offered up other peoples lives for his fantasies. After all Mark's post concerning nuking Iran is what started all of this.

Neo-cons like Mark think war is a game and those that give their lives in Iraq serving our country are just another comma. Part of the reason we are in this war now is because we didn't challenge people like Mark when they make similar statements about Iraq.

I don't apologize for standing up to Mark's horrible ideas about how to deal with Iran but I do apologize for letting my anger toward his ideas derail into personal attacks.

I forgive you Mark but I hope you will think twice before offering up other people's live for your fantasies.
