Just read through my venomous anti-American comments in the Olympic thread and, now that a few hours have passed since I wrote them, I feel stupid. I apologize to everyone for my rudeness, especially Talinthas.
We all have our moments and our pet peeves that can get the better of us. the fact that you had the guts and the courtesy to apologize, irregardless of whether or not you hurt anyones feelings, makes you an above average good person.
