Johnson) Newsgroups: soc.religion.christian Subject: please accept my apology Message-ID: Date: 5 Nov 90 10:11:04 GMT Sender: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu Lines: 19 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu Dear list subscribers, I want to apologize for letting the hair on my back get raised on his list. I did write one letter to let off a little steam to those that have been unnecessarily and carelessly attacking me on this list. I wrote a second letter that was misinterpreted by many in which they though that I was calling them a "fool." The fool in that letter was referring to myself, not anyone else. You have to understand. I have received a lot of hate mail since I put out my prayer request for me and my wife. Lots of people saying very unkind things to me. I tried writing back to them and tried to infuse a little life into them to see what they were doing but i would just receive another hate type letter back again. I could not get rid of these people. And thus I let off a little steam on this computer list. I was just advised by someone that reads this computer list and is in contact with others on the list that my letting off steam was not well received. So I apologize. And if anyone knows how to deal with "hate" type letters please send me a line.
