Good morning

Now the dust has settled on our last fall-out, and we have had time to calm down and reflect, I would like to extend the hand of friendship once again, and offer my apologies for any offence caused during our last few heated exchanges.

Life is too short to bear grudges, and we are too old and experienced to allow ourselves to behave in a less than mature and civilised fashion.

We have always climbed over our anger with each other, drawn a line, and moved on, and I hope we can do so once again.

Best,

A-H.

well, if there were such differences, they have made up and the Ed can save a lot of space on his servers with the lack of "you are a ....." and "No, I'm not and you are a complete ......" messages.

So be thankful and we can all return to the placid, rippleless waters of AB News.

Sqad - "and this is the problem here......one stops talking and the other can't stop talking.............this will not be changed by an apology."

I'm sure I don't know what you mean - I don't stop talking to other AB'ers, and it's unfair to suggest that AOG never stops talking ...

As to what will or will not be changed by an apology - that is for AOG and I to decide, and everyone else (who remotely cares!) to find out.

Thank you for your interest.

anneasquith - "why is this in 'news' topic."

Simply because this is the thread that AOG visits, so I knew he would see my OP here - which of course he has.

[-Talbot-]

No matter who I disagree with on here, I don't stop communicating with them, that would be childish.

Getting heated in your exchanges serves what purpose?

I actually quite enjoy it when the News section goes all bitchy....

Oh well. I'm sure it'll be handbags at dawn again before too long.

Both AOG and andy_hughes have shown great maturity here.

Now from just 46 post we can pick out who the agitators are.

sp1814 - "Both AOG and andy_hughes have shown great maturity here."

Thanks sp.

I think my esteemed colleague and I are both 'old school' - we may get a bit het up from time to time (!) but we don't like to be at outs with people, and when we have had a quick rub down (a damp NME for me, and a damp Daily Mail for him) - we come to our senses and get ourselves sorted.

I'll sit this one out Jordyboy. but I wonder if 0726 Tuesday 24th February 2015 will be a time and date to come back to haunt us??

[andy-hughes]

Jordyboy - "John Wayne said never apologise its a sign of weakness,extend the hand of friendship and you will get it bitten off,well someone said it.stick to your principles."

John Wayne was a lousy actor and role model on screen, and a closet bisexual hypocrite buffoon off it - I am delighted to avoid any sentiment to which he adhered.

Thank you.

Only if you have nothing better to do with your time - and I am sure you have.

Come back to haunt you? LOL

Stop being so dramatic! It's words on a forum, not only that, words on a forum not directed at you.

[retrocop]

I said I am sitting this one out Boo.

[andy-hughes]

LOL Boo!

New Musical Express, Andy, really?

Then it is obvious that we will never be singing from the same music sheet. :0)
