Thank you Lee
Open message to all forum members.
Perhaps many haven't missed my absence and off color humor. But I must say I miss the family atmosphere here on Big Blue.
I have ventured to many other gun forums over the past couple years and the camaraderie in those places are lacking.
I offered my apology to Lee for my past conduct, and want to extend that same apology to all S&W forum members.
Lee,
I offer you my apology for showing disrespect to you and forum members. I violated the forum rules and have paid the price.
I enjoy the family of members you share on S&W forum, many which have become very good friends.
I ask if you might consider me returning to the forum. I will abide by the forum rules and not show disrespect in the future.
Thanks Lee for allowing me the opportunity to be with friends. I will not disappoint.
Mike

Well....OK but first you have to pass the initiation. Go take care of this guy and post a picture of his left ear and all is forgiven.

I missed you. About the time you left was about the time I became more active on the forum. It's great to have you back.
HOWEVER . . . . I don't know if we can stand you and Caje together. Y'all might need to work something out with the Go-riller where you alternate months.
Kidding, of course.

I don't know what you did, but if you said you did it and you're sorry that's good enough for me. It seems that too many times people wont admit that they were wrong; so this says a lot for you being a good guy.
Which I knew all along

Thanks for the apology, and You're welcome.

Welcome back.
Somehow You and Sip are a team, closest fit being Abbott and Costello in my mind. 
Never could figure why you weren't here. Things feel right now.
You have some big shoes to fill now..........your own.

Well now . . . this certainly makes me smile.
As I told you in a note, some time ago Mike, your sense of humor, contributions and supportive comments (along with those of a whole host of others) is what endeared me to this forum in the first place.
Over time, I came to see that such a generosity of spirit seems to be the norm, here.
Welcome back, MickeyD!

Thank you mball, but Lee is the better man for putting up with my **** then accepting my apology.
I wanted you all to know my apology is sincere to the forum. I was't looking for a big tahdoo, but thanks everyone for the welcome back greeting.
Carry on!!

Glad you're back Mickey.
I'll have you know you are directly responsible for at least two of my recent gun purchases, the 586-1 I got some years back and that shiny LNIB 13-3 we talked about.
There's others, but I'll lay those at your doorstop and let you chew on that for the time being.
To review...

Glad you are back. Several of us have tried to fill your shoes in the off-color humor department. I posted a joke the other day that lasted a whole 20 minutes before it was pulled. Had several likes though.

Mr. D! Welcome back. I was just wondering about you the other day and hoped you were well. I'm glad to see you are.
Now please drag out those Georgia O'Keeffe books you use for a background and photograph all the cool new guns you must have picked up the last several months.

Bring your new/improved sense of humor, too. The way the

To me that sentence speaks volumes about the character of both of you. Too many people don't know how to apologize or how to accept an apology graciously.
Just because there is a problem with someone doesn't mean it has to be forever.
