Apology
What I get for posting in anger.
I owe Frank an apology, and I try to pay my debts. Frank didn’t play the “sexy” card with Gretchen Pirillo any more than she let him. He didn’t deserve to get dragged into my rant, and I’m sorry I did it. Gretchen didn’t deserve it either, and I apologize to her as well.
Moreover, while it is frustrating (and, I think, justly so) to see sexy used in exclusion of almost all else to sell woman-authored blogs, I shouldn’t have even implied that I was tarring Doc with that brush. Again, I’m sorry.
I won’t pull the post—not because I’m particularly proud of it, or because I stand unequivocally behind what I said, but because I believe in warts-and-all self-presentation. And that was a wart.
