That the list should even apologize to the offender seems to me ridiculous. If the participants don't value themselves and their dignity, they deserve none.

It is my belief that rising above personal attacks and redirecting the conversation on the goals that have brought us all together demonstrates our true character.

A couple quotes from JC come to mind: "Don't judge, lest you be judged.", "Turn the other cheek"

BTW: Not sure why you felt it was important to cross post your response, I dropped the board alias.
