Poll question: Have you, on DU, ever apologized for something you wrote here or said you were wrong?

This is apropos of no particular post, just wondering.

Please feel free to post details if you wish.

1. A few times that is for sure

I react a bit off the cuff at times.

[trumad]

3. Yes, I apologized for supporting nuclear power my whole life, and for...

saying the stock market would rise and fall in a certain way. I was only 24 hours off though.

[closeupready]

4. Yes, many times.

5. as often as i am sorry, or i am wrong. it isnt hard for me. when son was four, he taught me

how to apologize and admit i was wrong, without any pain

[Renew Deal]

6. Yes

I still feel bad for attacking Malaise one time for giving away a spoiler on a game. I also once made a divisive post about party membership that I apologized for. I'm sure there are others.

7. More than once. And it won't be the last.

8. Ya, you betcha.

9. Yes I have.

And it did my heart good.

10. Of course.. If you are here long enough, something you write

will cause confusion and lead others to misconstrue what you meant to say. Not to mention the times others prove you wrong... or you just change your mind. I'd like to think all here are able to do so --unlike those GWBush* types who think to admit you are wrong shows "weakness" :eyes:

[hedgehog]

14. Yes - all the time. I've been wrong many times, and ignorant

even more often.

[valerief]

15. I hate pit bulls and guns. nt

[valerief]

17. 3 minutes and no responses. That's a record! nt

[uppityperson]

19. Why would a pit bull have a gun? nt

[valerief]

23. Protection, of course! And Canine Second Amendment rights. nt

[FrenchieCat]

16. Yes, I have.

a couple of times, when I had my facts wrong, or when I offended someone and I wasn't necessary.

[TBF]

18. sure - sometimes you just don't read a post correctly or you respond

more sharply than you needed to. I would guess most of that happens by PM, but sure.

[Possumpoint]

20. Yes

Temper makes it to the keyboard before reason.

[mvd]

21. Yes. I feel many arguments can't be resolved so easily..

on the internet, so I will sometimes agree to disagree. But there have been times I've admitted I was wrong.

[polly7]

22. No, but I should have.

I told someone to go " themselves and for that I'm very sorry. I didn't log in for months because I thought for sure I'd be banned and deservedly so. Maybe it was missed, but to whomever I said that to ...... I am SO sorry. Since then I've learned to stop ...... count to 10, and not be such an azzhole. I hope.

24. yes, DUers come down on you so hard if you mispeak. Best to apologize immediately.
