Joel,
I know how you feel. I once reported something on here about a club and it wasn't received well by a member who had previously hosted us at this club.
He made it known to me and I asked Tommy to remove the whole thread, I felt bad - I didn't do it with any mischievous or harmful intent - I apologized to him, et al., - I hoped that he would accept it.
Don't know if he did, but I felt better.
You just did your penance.
