Thank you so much for your reply. Do you mean the whole list or specific people? I am sorry for any disrespect. I am sadly additionally sorry for more "spam e-mails", which I will try to only send to dedicated threads I have here. I hold respect, but it is not what I demonstrate, due to my DID associated with list topics. Like Professor Rat said, it's helpful to hear feedback on my behavior. It helps with it. But it can be a big burden for those providing the feedback. Thank you again, and I am sorry again. I have sent this email to the mailing list because accessing personal email can be difficult for me. > > > You know what you piece of shit > > Zeynep, I didn't mean harm with this email. I'm hearing it landed poorly, and I apologize. > > > > If you can tell me more about your feelings I will attend to anything you write.
