[Lnc-business] I welcome all who willing to support our Statement of Principles into this Party AND leadership if chosen by delegates

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Got it!

It seems that I have to practice what I preach here. Emotions sometimes
make us hypocrites. But, then we have to acknowledge that. I often say that
we should not judge our communication solely by its correctness but also by
it's results.  The results of my communication have been a feeling from
many that I do NOT want radicals or Anarchists in the LP. That is a failure
of my communication. It is NOT what I wanted to say and I am sorry for that
message. I both want and need you. My message was supposed to be directed
at one individual. It looks like my emotions pushed it too far. Again, I
apologize because that was NOT my intent. Thank you Caryn Ann Harlos for
bringing this to my attention. I need to practice the same empathy that I
expect.
