I...Dang, this is the 3rd time I tried to post here. I tried to sign up/sign in before, but the system would not let me. <BR/><BR/>I am not a regular visitor here. However, a few weeks ago, someone sent me an e-mail with the criticism of my Statesman column. I'm here today to say mea culpa for my thin-skindedness. <BR/><BR/>I obviously overreacted to what I viewed as a personal attack. You see, I wrote that not for the party (I would have used my title if that was my intention), but as a member of a small but tightly knit group of Boise canoe and kayak paddlers. Talking about taxing canoes is a pretty arcane subject, and I was trying to lighten it up with my original article. I have had several compliments on it from people who saw it as humorous, which was the original intent. <BR/><BR/>Yes, I do work for the Idaho Democratic Party. But I also have a life outside my job, and it was in that capacity that I was trying to engage the readers. <BR/><BR/>Truthfully, when I responded to the criticism posted here, I thought it would be "lost in cyberspace" because the posting was so old. Still, it was a silly and childish thing for me to do, and for that, I apologize. <BR/><BR/>Chuck OxleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23319559.post-23933957226564798672008-02-08T11:48:00.000-07:002008-02-08T11:48:00.000-07:00Well, I'll give the poster the benefit of the doub...Well, I'll give the poster the benefit of the doubt and assume it isn't him. But if it is, I find it inconsistent that the party is embracing bloggers while he is dissing them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23319559.post-37446532055482332392008-02-08T11:24:00.000-07:002008-02-08T11:24:00.000-07:00This could get interesting...This could get interesting...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
