[kj] Apology

[The Exorcist]

Why not expect me to respond? :)

I read it and apology accepted though I don't think there was much 
need for one.
Things get heated and words get thrown about, I've been guilty of the same many
a time. :)

I don't take things personally so no worries. (Unless your family at 
the dinner table, then all bets are off!).

Best Wishes,
Me

Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social Darwinism.
We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is someone
else's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers contribute
to the society and winners take away from it. Being a winner is 
unethical, while
a society of losers is happy and striving as a collective. In the 
spirit of diversity,
inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.
Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team player.
