Ah, he who cannot leave well enough alone. Pot meet kettle.
Notice I am NOT apologizing to YOU. Time will tell whether I have the resolve to do what I say (which I do), but the apology is to those who were offended, not to those rhetoricians such as yourself who do exactly the same thing on a daily basis.
I said I apologize, and I am truly sorry to have offended folks. I will not make Mormons or ANY ethnic or religious group a target of name-calling again. That practice has been a regular source of humor on here for a long time, and has always made me uncomfortable. Frankly, by doing the Mormon thing on you-all's Japanese-bashing thread, I was calling attention to it. Well, that was mis-guided, obviously. And done the wrong way.
I knew just as sure as the sun comes up in the morning that you, Top, would attempt a holier-than-thou pile on, but if I were you I wouldn't go there when your sheets are so soiled themselves.
I appreciate your apology, it was appropriate. But must admit I'm puzzled. If this name-calling practice has "always made you uncomfortable," why did you do it? curious.
