Is this a term you're pretty sensitive about? Let me know why. Because it's really a very small jab in my opinion.

If it's a serious insult to you, let me know.

I would offer to apologize again if it were.

Anyway, I offer that we continue this exchange via pm so we don't take up other's space and time on a thread that was meant for cv informations instead of a pissing match thread between forum members.

I do not agree with you calling me a hypocrite, just to be clear.

But you are free to think otherwise. Doesn't affect me one way or the other.

This virus nearly wiped out my entire family, and this thread has posts by some bitching about the name of the virus. Making judgements that some are racist. Dragging me in to the nonsense.

You are a part of that small minded bitching. Agreeing with posts that referred to me as a racist.

You have not genuinely apologized, you have no plan to apologize. You are not capable, otherwise you would have already.

No thank you on the PM offer.

Sorry for calling you "Your Highness" Happy.

Maruzo, it’s not the highness comment.

You agreed to a post with a suggestion that I am racist. As OP, I looked to you to settle the matter, and you responded with, “sorry Happy. I am not a mediator”. It was a polite way to say, “too bad”. That’s not an apology.

All the comments after are just childish jabs. Myself included.

The title of this thread is, “Good Information in times of need”. How does arguing about the name of the virus produce any good information? When you started this thread I largely avoided it. This is a vehicle forum.

I gave some information pertaining to the virus and the effects of it. I even tried to meditate to the best of my ability when things were, in my opinion getting off topic. But, then I was attacked.

I never tried to make this thread about me. There is a reason some of us wanted this tread to go. Its toxic!

Human nature has a way of festering conflicts and confrontation. It's part of what we are.

Men are designed to confront and pursuit aggressively. It's how we're built.

I don't think I am here to promote confrontation or incite conflict, these things have a tendency to permeate in any discussions or forums.

But as I've said before, I don't mean to be nasty, and if this is about the exchange between you and BC, then I apologize for missing it. I kept thinking it was about the "'highness"

But it's not wise to get between any argument when it isn't about the topic of this thread, i think you'll agree with that.

Anyway, I still like you, if only because your nickname makes me hard to dislike you, Happy.

I agree, and accept your apology.

I have never had any feelings of dislike for you or any member of the forum personally. I may have disliked certain posts, but not individuals.

Happy has been my nickname for 35 years. Got it when I was about 10 years old.

I started this thread to offer people information on the virus. I like to think I've done so on numerous occasions.

It's not a prefect thread, but needed information regarding various aspects of the virus has been presented by multiple members throughout the thread.

BC, crystal, stephenVA, andrew, upallnight, eod, and others have all contributed.

I think opening a dialogue about this situation that we're all in helps some of us here to reconcile their fears and anxieties towards the unknown this disease brings.

At least that's the hope.

I resent you belittling the efforts of all these members, and turning it all about you.

This may sound harsh, but it's not all about you.

Back on topic:

Google Armbrust American for their startup story.

Price is reasonable. $25 for a pack of 50.

I have not belittled anybody here. I’ve only responded to the attacks directed at me personally.

I have also given first hand testimony to the effects this virus has on the human body, and the concerns that federally employed medical staff were having in the beginning of the spread of this virus. That is a contribution. You acknowledge others, but fail to include me.

I have seen your biased view towards members that do not conform to your beliefs.

Your comment about, “it not being all about me” does not sound harsh to me. Because it’s a moot point.
