Just to be crystal clear, this post was a facetious comment regarding my forgetting to note the location.
I am the one who had the
moment. Obviously, this didn't transfer well as I would have hoped to the forum.
Happy Holidays.
It's all good, man. I was obviously being overly sensitive, but it can be pretty hard to pick up on the "tone" of a message at times. While others feel that they knew better all along, they weren't in my shoes in the situation. Your message immediately followed mine, so I thought it was directed at me, which wasn't your intent.
Regardless, we're beating a dead horse and I appreciate the reasonable response by you and others. It's one of those matters where I think if you and I were talking face to face, this would've never gone off the rails. I'm guilty of this too ; Sometimes I type messages as if I'm conversing in person. I've found that unless I'm messaging a close friend, "casual messaging" can easily be misinterpreted by others who I don't know personally. It's something I often have to keep in mind when on AC....though I think most of us here are at least internet friends.

Happy Holidays to you too!
