strange how this particular mea culpa didn't work out so well for julian.
I haven't been on here as of late, so I don't know what happened. I'll probably eat crow, but sounds like a nice olive branch if you ask me. (I've been offended once or twice here, rec'd an apology, didn't happen again, the end.)
This is a music msg. board where not everyone knows one another "really"...so it's definitely a nice offer to buy a ticket to a show. I wouldn't expect a gift if I knew you offline, a simple apology would be fine - followed with a positive change in behavior. You seem to have gotten the first part right + a gift offer. If apology and overture not accepted, don't sweat it, just learn from the mistake and move on.
Oh, and some comments here are classic. Thanks for the laughs.
