Allah's Peace on all who will recieve this missive!!

To those of you who objected concerning my use and explanation of the
term "fubawaba"...You're absolutely right about that being inappropriate
and degrading to some.  I offer my apologies and take responsibility for
it.

To those of you who said you know I meant nothing by it....You're right,
too.  But that doesn't change things.  I have offended people, some
deeply(you should see some of the private mail I got:^0), due to my
inconsideration of how others might percieve my words and intentions. 
In all actuality, I feel pd bad about the whole thing.  Now I wish I
hadn't even gotten involved in that thread at all.

Ironically, the term didn't have anything at all to do with physical
appearance.  We just labeled some people with the term and when we were
asked what it meant, we found a way to explain our acronym.  Terrible
choice...too.  It's all Marcus the Vintner's fault.  Imagine my dismay
when dear friends felt I had included them in that group of people. 
Authenticity Nazi is offensive to me and I'll just refer to those people
as malevolent malcontented co-dependent freaks from now on.

I thank all for their responses and admonitions, both private and
public, for I have learned from them.  Some of you should learn how to
flame from Branwyn, though.  She made me feel incredibly small with the
kindest of words.(Ouch!!  That ap Gwystl clan can cut to the bone on the
field or off.)

In closing, I accept the challenges I recieved.  They will be handled as
a private matter between us.  You have a right to not let that go
unnoticed.  To some of the ladies I offended...I stand ready for the
retribution promised and deserved.  Once again, my sincerest apologies
and I hope to be back in the good graces of some of you soon.  

Falcone

P.S. I have more to say on the NA thing, but this leather tastes really
bad and I need to wash my mouth out with soap anyway.
