It has come to my attention that a few people were seriously offended by my previous blog. While my intention was never to hurt anyone, nor to attack or "call out" someone personally, I must say this.
When I write, I do it for my sake. I have never written anything with malicious intent. I consider my writings to be equal to that of a newspaper column (though not on par, as far as talent goes). What I write is my opinion, and only that. An opinion. To be completely fair, one could take offense to anything written by any person. Whether or not it is beneficial to become so upset by something is another issue. The problem I was addressing was not electronic invitations, but rather how they are enabling our society to continue to completely disregard their fellow man. I will not apologize for this, and will continue to instead attempt to call attention to this fact. What I wrote was not wrong; it is unfortunate that what I said was misinterpreted.
To those whom I have offended - if you even read this (or if things can again spread through the rumor mill to you) - I hope you know that I am sorry that what I wrote affected you so, and that it was never my intent to hurt you. In fact, you did not even cross my mind when last I ranted. I wish that you could have the courtesy to have come to me and told me yourself that what I said had upset you or at least responded to the apology written to you. I think that things would have been resolved differently. It saddens me to think that something so trivial could end a friendship.
