With Regards To Recent Controversy
September 6, 2009 at 5:30 pm by Capitol Avenue Club under Uncategorized
It has come to my attention that I’ve made some insensitive remarks in this space as of late. Specifically, my use of a two plays on words regarding the Giants and UGA that were perceived–not without reason–as homophobic. I wouldn’t be addressing this in this space if I didn’t feel strongly about doing so.
I would like to apologize to my readers. Not because they’re generally offensive, a lot of what I write is offensive. I’d like to apologize because the remarks I made single out and demean a specific group. That’s the last thing I want to do. That’s not what I’m all about. And I’m embarrassed I let myself do it.
The remarks I made without thinking and if I could do it all over again I certainly wouldn’t have made them. I don’t want to make an excuse, because what I wrote was inexcusable. I just want to apologize, retract my statements, and let my readers know I didn’t mean what I said and assure them I won’t make the same mistake again. Again, I’m not trying to make an excuse, but I view this as a mistake on my part. I’m just a 21-year old kid and I’ll probably make a lot more mistakes before I die, but I won’t make this one again. In no way am I prejudice against any group of humans. From here on my writing won’t be inconsistent with the previous statement.
Please accept my apology.

your sincerity and maturity certainly come though. I’m very happy to accept your apology and will continue my daily reading here as well as direct other interested parties.
