About two months back, in response to a post about my impending divorce from Mark Hernandez, [livejournal.com profile] demiurgent made a joke that I did not get a notice soon enough to delete.  I delted it immediately upon finding it, and now moderate all posts to prevent heated comments from being generally available.
The remark resulted in painful additional personal and legal troubles for me. As I've said before, something to consider before making a joke. There is a person on the other end of it who may feel threatened, offended or hurt.

From [livejournal.com profile] demiurgent , via LJ message:

As requested, and entirely without reservation.

To whom it may concern:

It was my thoughtless joke that Ms. Hernandez is making reference to. Let me be frank and clear. Ms. Hernandez did nothing to solicit said joke, and there was no true ill intent behind it. It was an inappropriate response to frustration, and I regret it entirely.

To the gentleman in question: I unreservedly apologize. Any burden of difficulty, concern or tension should be entirely upon me. Ms. Hernandez did not solicit my comment, and immediately upon its making repudiated it publicly. It was my lack of judgment and my lack of empathy, and I apologize for them without excuse or justification.

Please feel free to contact me at [redacted] with any questions or concerns regarding this matter.
