This is an apology to our regular readers for yesterday.
I let myself and the tone of the blog go yesterday because, to put it simply, I was tired. To explain rather than excuse myself I got a crappy night’s sleep the night before and the gun lover’s endless myopia, zealotry, circular logic and slippery slope fallacies got under my skin.
That shouldn’t have happened I should have just quit commenting because, for better or worse, Delaware Liberal is a different kind of blog now. We have a regular readership that reaches beyond the blogosphere and I need to be more aware of that. So, I’m sorry for yesterday.
All of this is not to say that there is no place for salty language and ad hominem arguments (particularly when they are directed at Tom Carper). The blog is always going to be a rough and rowdy place. I just don’t think my comments yesterday are worthy of where we are now as an online community.
