An Apology is in Order

Lately, numerous people from a particular Kentucky county have seemed to inundate this blog with ridiculous slanders, accusations and threats due to the site being linked from a popular gossip website.
The reason I say “seemed to inundate” is because this situation is not new. I’ve had to deal with these sorts of comments on a daily basis for many months. I just finally got sick of deleting them every day and leaving everything unsaid. I also get sick of the same sorts of crap on my business telephone. It has gotten to the point that if I don’t get at least two death threats a day from people in, or connected to, that particular Kentucky county, I begin to consider that the chore of putting up with it may be over.
Of course, the next day, when it all starts again, my hopes are dashed.
In the course of these discussions, I referred to the residents of Leslie County, Kentucky as “fungus” and “cockroaches.” I would like to apologize for my severe lack of control when making these comments, because even though they were said in retaliation, it’s no excuse for me to lose my temper in that manner.
It was an unfair comparison. Especially to fungus and cockroaches everywhere. And to these lower life forms, I apologize.

I’m just wondering Mark, since I’ve featured mushrooms in the Friday Food Porn more than once… would you like me to pass on that apology to the fungus everywhere for you? I wouldnt’ mind doing that for a friend. The cockroaches will have to find out on their own though… they just creep me out.
I’m glad to see you took that step though. They were a little miffed. This will make things right again.

Go for it.
