An apology to Lady P

[monkey]

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...
