He has said he is sorry about the whole thing.

I'd say that was an apology on Mr. Dave's part. If the mods would pay him in kind, I think we could (and probably should) put the matter to bed.

There is a lesson to be learned here, I think. Keeping short accounts is always best, if someone feels insulted by you, apologise immediately, and don’t let the matter drag on or we might end up with a situation such as this again.

After all this trouble, I hardly think it's going to happen again in the foreseeable future. I think we're all tired of this argument and it would be best to resolve it sooner rather than later.

As I said, it doesn’t matter who was right and who was wrong. What matters is that we make amends for any wrongdoing. I don't want to take sides, but it seems that Mr Dave has attempted this (through lal). So, can the mods put aside any bad feelings towards all this? I hope so. We all make mistakes. If we held a grudge against anyone that had done something wrong, we'd have to hate everyone in the world.

Or should we have that dance-off?
