What a jerky thing to say. I wouldn't have appologized at all. Why should she have to be politically correct when clearly the restaurant staff was not. She does not deserve to be painted with that brush.I believe you missed Cynthia's question.

Not answering for a reason? Yes, because you fibbed to boost your senseless point.

Quite frankly, they speak English better than you spell it.
Any reason you suddenly refuse to answer? You are pretty quick at handing out insults and slams, but admitting an error? Not so much.
You are obnoxious, childish, and rude. You seriously need to work on basic basic basic social skills.

Yes, I'm an idiot, but I see I've found some company here, LOL. Read the first sentence of my reply to Pepsi. You're saying if I was REALLY sorry, I'd have said, "I'm sorry I offended you." That is how my reply starts. Why do you believe you know the intent of my heart? Who made fun of her accent? Simply repeating how someone said something doesn't "make fun". Prehaps you're insecure about your own feelings toward people with accents. I find accents to be intriguing and that is why I have studied language, speech and the like for many years. As a former actress, character's intonation, inflection and vocal quailty (accents included) add to characterazation.
Disrespectiful? Odd, to take anything in that post as disrespectful, but because it isn't my intent to hurt anyone, I asked Pepsi to forgive me for the offense I clearly dealt her. Strange, how for gererations, Italians have been steriotyped and profiled as anything from "broken English- speaking" pizza makers to tommy gun wielding mafia gang lords but I have never experienced or received this type of anger.
"Blackface"? Wow. I can gladly answer your question about the world I'm from with, thank God, not this one. One to come, where spirits of the air can no longer twist truth, Glory to God!

I don't have a problem with the accent thing but the kitten thing.... not so much.
I just read the first sentence of your reply to Pepsi. It does NOT say "I'm sorry I offended you" but instead says "I'm sorry if my post offended you." I don't know your heart, I only know what you typed and you didn't say you were sorry for saying something offensive but that you were sorry IF she was offended by your post. HUGE difference. In one, you take ownership, in the other, you put it on her. Subtleties aren't your strong suit, I can tell.
Perhaps I'm insecure about my own feelings toward people with accents? LOL And what did I say that makes you think that? Do you EVER accept responsibility for your actions?
"I can gladly answer your question about the world I'm from with, thank God, not this one. One to come, where spirits of the air can no longer twist truth, Glory to God!"
WHAT?! Are you speaking in tongues or something?

For your information, I have apologized in many different ways since the beginning of this thread both publically and privately.
Do you feel better attacking my faith? That's where this was all heading from the beginning. It's not always been about good citizenship and coming to Pepsi's rescue.
Talk about not taking responsibility for ones actions, at least I can admit I made a mistake. You and whatever other cohorts you may gather up go right ahead and bash my religion. In the end, that's what it all always comes back to anyway. I pity the unforgiver and stirrer on discontent.

Your apologies put the ownership on the person you wronged, not on you, as I've said several times now. If you don't want to just say you were sorry for being a jerk, that's your business.
"Do you feel better attacking my faith?"
WHAT?! You seem very confused. I said NOTHING to attack your faith, I don't even know what your faith is. You said some garbled, jumbled up something-or-other to me, so I asked you about it. I have NO idea what you were trying to say. Does this mean you were NOT speaking in tongues? Bizarre.
"I pity the unforgiver and stirrer on discontent."
What? You're scaring me now. Are you channeling Mr. T.? No worries, I forgive you.
