In response to "I can agree with his frustration to the issues at hand......" by groiny

I've read that post over and over and can't see the offense....I must be missing some inside info or a private joke.

The "Max come over as a virgin" reference went over my head or something, I dunno.

Responses:

I think a big part of the reaction was the dismissal of it when he stated in his own way, that he was not cool with it. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 09:13 21
- What I interpreted from Loosi's responses was that she was baffled by HIS response, as am I. - CrankYanker Apr 17, 09:21 19

    - I'm saying her comment was outside the normal "offensive" categories; race, religion, politics, sex, gender, etc. How are we supposed to know - CrankYanker Apr 17, 09:30 6

      - that might be the funniest IM I have read in years here.nm -- nm - groiny Apr 17, 09:33 4
        
        I have the same issue with my kids right now which is why maybe I'm more sensitive to this currently - oblique Apr 17, 09:36 3
        
        It is very similar, but there is something else at play here that I think is not fully recognized. - pmb Apr 17, 09:45

        My 2 cents - Strongbad Apr 17, 09:43
  - "I'm sorry." - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:22 10
    - This is the one and only thing I will say. I immediately sent Max an apology in email. - loosilu Apr 17, 09:24 9
      - That was appropriate to take it off ST. I think the mistake you made was continuing the conversation with others on ST. - CrankYanker Apr 17, 09:26 8
        
        but, this is also part of the issue, he offended him ON ST. - groiny Apr 17, 09:30 7
        
        One possible reason - Strongbad Apr 17, 09:33 3
        
        I think you do both. - groiny Apr 17, 09:34 1
        
        yep, and you can include some things in the email that you wouldn't put on ST, but you still show your sincerity to the board -- nm - zork Apr 17, 09:39
        
        Technically, going out of your way to do it would be to do both. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 17, 09:34
        
        because that's totally worked to defuse the situation in the past... -- nm - znufrii Apr 17, 09:31 2
        
        show me, don't tell me. - groiny Apr 17, 09:33 1
        
        except by the time people realized he might be serious, the pile-on was already underway - znufrii Apr 17, 09:36
