Apology to AP and ChavezSpeaksTheTruth

[mobuto]

Late last week, I accused AP and ChavezSpeaksTheTruth of being the same poster, after one posted from the contents of a private message I sent to the other.

While I still haven't seen an adequate explanation for why or how that happened, Skinner looked into it and reported that, at first glance, they did not appear to be posting from the same computer.

I have not heard from him since.

Since I haven't, I think I have to give them both the benefit of the doubt; I appear to have been over-hasty. While we may disagree on substantive issues, I would hope that they wouldn't hold this against me personally. I also hope they understand why I was concerned. My goal was certainly not to defame anyone.

1. Thank you Mobuto

Your words speak truth

Can't say I blame you for your trepidation, given the crap others have perpetrated

2. I explained to you how it happened...

...the information I posted was something that you said about yourself over a year ago.

A couple of weeks ago I posted something you said over a year ago and you complimented me on having a good memory.

It was pure chance that you and CSTT had exchanged that bit of information the same day I brought it up. And the only reason I brought it up was because I couldn't believe that you'd never taken a single class in college which discussed the things we were talking about in that thread.

Furthermore, what kind of apology is this? You're giving us the benefit of the doubt because you can't prove we're not the same person?

3. Oh yeah,

and apology accepted.
