First I am not out of apologies. I am always ready to apologize whenever
it's reguired. However recently (after I came back from Denmark)
I feel that I haven't done or said anything that really calls for an
apology. Furthermore a good friend who also reads DCML has told me in
private that there has been enough apologies - now it is a real improvement
in my style that is required.

This is pure generalizing and can't be taken to seriously. Fact is that my
statements are of varrying type.

Maybe so, but none of it was insulting or intended to be insulting towards
the "Wiccas".

True. But the atmosphere are a result of the wholeness, not just one
subject. I was just mentioning the other subject as an example.

Well at least some people seems to make me look like a problem here.

That's exactly what my intention is. But it's very difficult to stay calm
when I feel that I am under frequent "fire".

This is *not* true, at least not this time. I am *not* responsible for every
single harsh argument against me (Ref: the Wicca debate).

Well, I guess that you can help solving "this on-going problem" by not
taking this dispute to far.
