    In a completely unneccesary defense of my statement about being "hasty" I submit this: what I said I believe. I disagree with Mooncat's faith. However, my response to it was written in about 6 minutes grand total which would lead me to conclude only one thing-that I wrote before I thought it all out clearly. Tact can make even the most inflammatory of beliefs seem much more attractive or at least much less offensive. As for proof, why ask for proof that I was hasty and that I apologize? Is your request in attempt to prove some sort of point? If so then I think you were a tad off "aaaaaaaaa". There are certainly some things that one cannot prove, but rather must take on faith. Howsomever, even those things must at least line up with some sort of factual base. One could deduct through what I said that I was sincerely apologizing. There is faith placed in my motives, but why not? At least there is written evidence that my claims of apology were true. Faith must be backed by concrete evidence in order to be acceptable. Any faith which goes contradictory to fact suggests very strongly one or both of these-that the faith is misplaced (the more likely), that the fact (which should be already well-tested and proved) is incorrect, or that both are in error. Any faith which does without fact, not against it but not with it, is either a conveniently fabricated lie or a position which cannot even begin to be tested, therefore making it untrustworthy. Faith is the cement which binds the facts together.

    Micah,

    Don't bother responding to "aaaaaaaaaa...". The only thing this individual was attempting to do was to annoy others, based on the fact he/she posted 50 times and all his/her posts were the same exact thing - a quote from someone else's post, followed by the words "prove it". He/she never actually contributed anything else to a single discussion that I ever saw. I believe Oxygen finally banned him/her, thankfully.
