You're one to talk. Everyone sees you're wrong and you know it. You're totally right about you not usually being caustic, but that isn't an excuse for acting like a bitch when people are requesting you apologize, like you should. And thats exactly it, you're acting like a bitch because you don't have the man-balls to admit when you're wrong and take this one down as a loss. My dad was that way. You're just hurting your name and losing respect and if I were you I would be embarrased for letting people think I'm not man enough to apologize. I know I've lost alot of respect for you, but I doubt that will matter to you. I'm sorry to be so caustic, as you so well put it, but I can't seem to find any reason for you acting this way. You're USUALLY a very sensible, upstanding, long-time EF contributor.
If you don't apologize atleast give us an explanation for the bitch-like actions.
