No apology needed. I was directly speaking to the newbie on the block who insulted us all 14 year olds. I find it comical actually when someone who has only been in here a couple of days starts spewing against the 'family' in here. We all lose our temper at times and go over the top; myself included and there have been times when I have chimed in some off the wall remarks, and for that I am sorry. But, I think most of us know each other well enough that we don't intend to insult each other or harm each other with words. We attack candidates yes, but each other is not really typical in this forum.
There have been several of late who have jumped in as 'newbies' and started attacking other posters (one in particular with his very first post). I think you're right about the rest of us, though. We respect each other and understand when someone just got mad and said something they regret (even if they don't come right out and say they do).
I think one of the problems lately has been that people have interpreted attacks on their candidate as attacks on them personally. We all need to distinguish between what is going against the candidate and what is going against individuals here.
