In the end, Brandon was ineloquent, but I do not think he was being mean. And, he has repeatedly said this when asked to clarify. Whether one believes him is their choice  |
I feel the same way. My reiteration of certain comments, and apologies for the way others were taken is evidence of that. I'm not here to piss someone off. If things that I said were taken out of context, or taken as offensive...then that's the readers perogative, because it was, and is not (ever) my intention. Believe me, no one could ever accuse me of being holier than thou. Cheap shots were taken at me, I feel, because I took a strong stand in my own beliefs. In turn that was countered with ridicule. I dont think I ridiculed anyone in what I said...if it was taken that way, so be it...but it was not intended, or implied.
