Correction issued to DovBear

I had no idea how contentious the JIBs were when I commented last week on my preference for the old system. Since then, I'd been busy offline, but when I opened my email this morning, I discovered that I'd been MIA in a serious war. You'll have to believe me that it was never my intention to get involved--I don't even know what the issues are.

But since I opened my big mouth once, I have to at least be true to that, and it turns out I wasn't. I indirectly accused DovBear of trying to change the format of the JIBs (here). It turns out I misread his post. His words:
Mister, as I wrote to you by email, you somehow managed to miss the most important part of that post. Here it is in its entirety:

Note: I'm not suggesting the JIbs be replaced nor am I attempting to impugn them in any way. The JIBs serve an important purpose, and should be continued. This post is a proposal for something new, something that can coexist quite happily with the JIBs.

Please issue a correction.

Ezzie, none of the big bloggers took me up on it, but lots and lots and lots of small bloggers thught it was an excellent idea.
[...]
In other words, no one suggested changing the format.
Now that we got that out of the way, Dovbear and I can be friends... again? Actually, I don't think he knew I existed until yesterday, as evidenced by him calling me "mister". Talk about big bloggers overlooking the little guys (or girls in this case). I did my part, and now it's up to Dovbear to issue an apology to me on his blog for not treating me like a lady, and then we can all go back to fighting like children about the JIBs. Seriously kids, what is up with that?!?!?
