A Public Apology to Stuart

Michael L.

This is a tad embarrassing, and not the least bit fun, but I owe Stuart a public apology.

I unjustly slandered him in a public way and thus should, therefore, apologize in a public way.

Stuart has, in the past, been something of a regular in these pages and I know him from Daily Kos and elsewhere.  He was always a good, insightful, and reasonable man and always a friend to the Jewish people and the State of Israel and a friend to me.

In a comment, written in frustration, I claimed that he is no friend to the Jewish people, or something along those lines.

I was completely wrong and I admit it and apologize for it.

I do not expect that Stuart is going to read this note and say, "OKAY.  Friends again!"

Perhaps, as with other people, we have simply moved beyond any meaningful way of examining common interests.  But what matters to me is that I simply make the apology public as I made the unfair defamation public.

I do not have a problem acknowledging when I am wrong... once I am convinced that I am wrong.

{That, by the way, is the hard part.}
