My Apologies to RCU members!
In response to all RCU members that emailed me concerning my 5-star rating post "Let Me Give Thanks"....
And my repost suggesting a '5-Star Brotherhood'.
First of all, it took me a while to figure out what the stars meant.
Second, I had no input for the rating but felt extremely honored that RCU awarded it.
I am very aware that there are members of RCU with 3, 4, and 5 thousand posts who have not received stars, especially after only 13 post.
My suggesting a 5-Star Brotherhood was not meant to be offensive. In no way was I trying to portray I was more intelligent or achieve recognition that I didn't deserve.
I did not mean to insult anyone, but, apparently I did.
My sincere apologies to all those who deemed it necessary to personally email me with insults, their displeasure, and hostilities.
To all those who responded to my posts, I thank you. Your suggestions/answers were very helpful.
To all RCU members, once again, I sincerely apologize!
This will be my last post!
If it is any consolation, Mr. Ken respectfully declined my 5-Star Brotherhood proposal.

In case people don't know,, The Stars are because someone liked your post,, if you look at your "score" under you name,, it started out at 100,, now 110,, you you've been rated at least twice. That score acumulates as you can see mine is a little higher
The stars won't show up at every post you make, trust me
Maybe I'll start a 350+ Brotherhood,,,, not likely

Rudder Monkey,
I read your post about the five stars.
Please retract your apology, you did nothing wrong.
Anyone who had a problem with your post and
ranted about it doesn't really deserve an apology.
My 2 cents,

It didn't appear that there was any malice or malicious intent nor a spirit of arrogance...just innocent joy in a new idea. We all make mistakes and gradually increase or knowledge and experience base...that's the cure for ignorance and it's how we grow.
Though it seems that your most recent taste of RCU has led to the feeling that most people here are are harsh and unkind, let me assure you that the inverse is the real spirit of the site. The vast majority here are understanding, kind, helpful, gracious and love to share their knowledge, thoughts, tips, hints and expertise.
Stick around, I would love to see your further input around the boards.
Cheers!
PS. Just look at the replies above to prove my point. And a little FYI; more than one of those replies above mine come from very well respected members of this forum

Do people actually count their post?
Even more strange: Do people actually rate them?
Stranger still: Do people care?
Monkey... It's a virtual entity. Chill out.

Never apologize to someone who is disrespectful to you. And never let someone run you off. Stand Your Ground. And as the guys above said, you liveand learn. I am very sure I have offended one or two here in RCU. But like you, it was not intentional. So I dont sweat those that are easily offended.

I wouldn't worry about it! I've had folks 'reprimand' me from time to time and they don't even have all of the facts! I just ignore them like the small minded children they are. If I feel the need then they get a PM. If I make an incorrect statement then I admit it but that doesn't happen very often!
