For a comment on her last post in which I used a deplorable word. I am sincerely and completely sorry. You don't have to forgive me. I have always appreciated your work. I'm sorry you won't be around often anymore. I don't have your email, so this will have to do by way of apologizing. I hope you read it someday.

I just wanted to say that, b/c in the PB2.0, it's going to be very important for all of us to learn to say "I'm sorry," as well as "You're wrong!" Gossip, social status, cliques...these things must come to mean nothing to us, if we're truly going to have focus. I consider this a not just an "all about me" post, because I hope that it can start a conversation on how much the blogosphere has become mostly about personal swipe, insult, rumor, and the like. I think it's killing us, and I'm very sorry to have contributed to that which doesn't truly matter.

Again, FD. I apologize. If there's someone you regret offending in the blogosphere, consider it an open thread for the same.

Please read this comment if you're new here. And know that I, and We, welcome and want you here. We want you to read, we want you to comment, we want you to disagree, and most of all, we want you to Prove Your Work. Think we're wrong? Say so, and prove it. We can take it, we love it, and we live for rough, incivil, partisan discourse. Really. No, really.

You can never go wrong here by disagreeing. Or speaking your mind. Or telling us we suck. Just do so with links, and reason, and even emotion. This is a truly progressive blog, in every sense of the word. We don't censor, or ignore, unless you're trying to hog this space by trying to sell or push something that has nothing to do with the project at hand. Which of course is: Saving our Constitutional Democracy. One blog post at a time.

Thank you for your attention. We're not writing here because we want consulting jobs, so don't worry- we take all our readers "seriously." Of course, you can hit that blue box over to the top and right, and send LB some cash to support our servers if you've got it, as it is true that 'free blogging' isn't "free." In our case, it's 200/mo. Any help is welcome.
