The person who was being a jackass on the Dope wrote me an email to apologise, and I don't know how to respond.
If you choose to respond, feel free to yank any, part of, or none of the following. :)
I'm really not sure how to respond to this. I was angry because, from where I sit, your posts on the Dope were making up convenient lies to justify a particular form of bigotry. While your *desire* to apologize is appreciated, the *way* in which you have done so... I wish it were otherwise, but I can't find a way to read it that doesn't affirm your incomprehension as to why what you said was (a) wrong, and (b) hurtful.
("If" you were offensive? In what *conceivable* way was that unclear?)
As such, all it really does is make me angry again, which really doesn't make for a very good apology. If it's as far as you feel you can go, perhaps we'd better simply leave it at "don't talk to each other".
