I contacted mj privately because I felt that though my concerns were genuine, my actual actions (what I said and saying them on a public forum) required me to apologize to him. He responded. I also noticed that he made a post since that time.
I do not feel I have the liberty to share the details, but as some of us suspected, John has recently had to deal with some issues that would greatly effect anyone who was having to experience them. Please include him and his family in your prayers. Following is a quote from his note that reflects a remorseful attitude on his part, which I do feel will promote healing in the situation.
"Life is not good right now and I am inexcusably impatient. It is my fault. Very sorry for acting out on it."
I trust that we all can be benevolent enough to forgive for our own hurt feelings in the light of knowing one of our fellow members if suffering some major pain (and stress) in his life.
Sincerely,
Steven W. Reynolds

Not a problem for me. Never was.
It's always nice to have someone around who can keep with my own crap. Gotta love him!
Right or wrong, in John's defense, I'm of the opinion that in many cases, if you're not pis*ing someone off, you probably have little-to-nothing worthwhile to say. John almost always has something worthwhile for all of us.
Safe may suck, but it's wise to remember that humor can do a lot to make irreverence more palatable.
Warmest...

No problem here, stuff happens...I hope his situation improves. There is a higher one that forgives, If he can we all should.

While I agree controversy can be the spice of life and you don't learn much if you never run into someone with a different opinion, there is a line that is inappropriate to cross. Just have to avoid calling people names and otherwise insulting them, if they don't agree with ya!
