Title: An apology to Lady P
Post by: monkey on July 12, 2008, 01:53:38 pm
I am writing to apologies to Lady P. A debate was running yesterday about road tax. Lady P posted that she did not purchase road tax for her car and I saw red. The reason it transpires that she does not buy tax is because she only drives on her own estate – where of course there is no requirement. I had not been aware of this when I posted a most disingenuous response. There are no real mitigating circumstances for my behaviour however I would say that a very good friend of mine was involved in an accident a little over ten years ago – the driver of the vehicle was not taxed or insured. My friend suffered severe brain damage and has not worked since. This has made the subject more than a little sensitive for me.
So Lady P I hope you will accept this apology. I have learnt a valuable lesson in as much I will be careful not to wade in until I am sure of all of the facts. Kind regards.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Whilst I was not party to the unpleasant exchanges on friday evening, which were possibly fuelled by quantities of "refreshment", I have been advised of the general thrust.
There was undoubtedly a degree of misunderstanding at the start, leading to rash comment and invective (even to the extent that my name was being bandied about! :)), things got out of hand and personal. Club Arnage is normally the home of good natured banter between likeminded pals; we never agree on everything and have some great debates on all manner of subjects. However, with the exception of the infamous Harper Bros/Dan flame war circa 2003, I cannot recall a similar previous incident on CA; it is not the place, in my opinion, for trading personal insults. Let us keep it that way.There are never any winners in these matters. I would personally be extremely disappointed were such a situation to arise again.
Monkey's thoughtful and fulsome explanation and apology should be taken entirely at face value and I thank him for it.
As you were...
