I do believe that I properly addressed the concerns of the Brethren regarding my usage of the word "ignorant". However since you feel the need to address this once again, here is my earlier response.
I will not clarify this again, and I take offense to your "rant" towards me as you seem to be the only one who has taken the verbiage so personally. It is a curse and blessing to live in a society who's language offers such diversity and meaning within its vocabulary.
My esteemed Br. Stewart,
As my Masonic Brother I would like to apologize to you publicly for my previous post directed to you.
It was directed to you, because it was your post I took exception to. It would be rather odd to address it to someone else. It was done sincerely and without malice towards you.
I was just trying to point out that as a Brother, I took exception to your post. I'm well aware that it was not directed to me personally, nor did I say it was. Regarding your statement it was presumptuous of you to make a blanket statement such as you did.
Regarding my "rant" as you put it, I was merely stating my reasons for taking exception to the content of your post.
I take nothing said in this forum "Personally", we are all Brothers here, and I find it refreshing to be able to discuss things with my Brethren from around the globe. I do expect varying responses to things I might say in my posts, and if I've stated things incorrectly or caused offense, then I gladly accept those critiques from my Brethren and apply it to my growing knowledge base of all things Masonic.
Finding this forum was a delight for me, and though I am a veritable " new comer" here, I find it to be quite enlightening at times, and have enjoyed many topics that have been discussed within it.
Let us agree to disagree and move on to more Light together as Brothers. I hold no animosity towards anyone on this forum ( even the Crazy People we've encountered here ), I only want to enjoy learning from my Brethren whenever possible.
I thank you, and all the Brethren responsible for making this such a wonderful forum to be a part of.
May the GAOTU watch over you and your family, and you be blessed with peace and harmony through your daily travels.
Yours, in His service.
W:.Br. Richard Corcoran
P.S.
If you are ever in N. Central Florida (west coast) please come visit with us as my guest, I promise that you will be well fed, and treated like Family.
God Bless you my Brother.
Goodnight Y'all !
