Re: Ben Brownlee Memorial Fund
It’s not just inflammatory, so as to deflect your comment. It’s wrong and stupidly judgmental and assumptive.brichardsson wrote: ↑Thu Jul 14, 2022 12:47 pm sorry all. i've deleted the comment. didn't agree with it but you're all right it's not the place

Re: Ben Brownlee Memorial Fund
Or..you could just delete and say something nice.
What a terrible person you come off as…
With that being said. I am deeply sorry for your loss, Mr. Brownlee. The misses and I will be donating.

Re: Ben Brownlee Memorial Fund
I could have, yes. But I assumed, rightly or wrongly, that after my comment, any condolences posted on the board would appear insincere and self-serving. So instead I chose to simply delete the comment, and apologize generally to the board. I also chose to immediately reach out directly to Mr. Brownlee and offer an unqualified apology as well as my condolences. I will leave whatever communication that did or will occur between he and I to be shared at his discretion.sigepnader wrote: ↑Thu Jul 14, 2022 9:22 pmOr..you could just delete and say something nice.

You can continue to criticize and call me names, I won't complain or offer a defense - once again I'm saying yes it was inappropriate and I deserve whatever I get. Or you can put me on ignore. Or you can have Bill nuke the thread. I don't particularly care; I've done what I can to clean up my mess. If you or anyone else feels that they have something to say to me that's fine you can PM me, but I will not add to the thread, I've done enough to sidetrack it already.
