Did I Limbaugh a long?

Arch-conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh often brags about how he can ruin a journalist's reputation simply by praising and/or agreeing with him. Of course Limbaugh, like him or not, is a highly visible media figure, so it was much to my surprise that my humble and, let's face it, obscure blog may have had much the same effect on a REFR shareholder and message board poster.

In my last post, I reposted uncritically a list of demands from a certain message board poster who, while a loyal shareholder, is rapidly running out of patience with this company's management. This morning, I learned indirectly that a certain blog, whose sole purpose seems to be to "shadow" this blog with rebuttals, has directed some very scathing words at that shareholder.

I fear I may have damaged this shareholder's reputation among his peers, and as such hereby give my deepest apologies to him. I'm even considering striking my last post solely because of the extent to which it may have hurt him. It was never my intent to damage innocent parties with my words, and I would like to make amends for that if possible.
