In response to "you're still hung up on the idea that it's about the wording. It's that you made the joke, period. -- nm" by Reagen

No, I just don't like being misquoted and having negative intentions layered over my innocuous off-hand comments. -- nm

your mistake continues to be that there would be any context or wording that that would make it non-offensive. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 13:47 14
- and if I may elaborate, the reason you see anger at that is that others here see your response as a high liklihood that you'll repeat your error - Reagen Jun 21, 13:51 11
  - Maybe you can find some precedent for this statement. - secretslacker Jun 21, 13:55 10
    - It's not *about* you. If any other person had said it, it would have been just as offensive. - Reagen Jun 21, 13:58 9
      - This whole thing could have been handled better. - secretslacker Jun 21, 14:03 8
        
        Well if you would have offended him in an email and not a public board. We would have known nothing about it. - Redmond Jun 21, 14:09
        
        Bery said to you quite politely that he thought you should apologize to amoxy. Your first response? "What? It was a JOKE!" -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 14:06 6
        
        Yes, but that's because I hadn't read the B2 responses and wasn't aware of the previous incident. - secretslacker Jun 21, 14:08 5
        
        but as liiouo mentions above, and as others have mentioned since, that previous incident isn't what flipped the switch on what made the joke offensive - Reagen Jun 21, 14:13 4
        
        Well, maybe explaining it 8 or 9 times is reasonable, but now that we're up to 15 or so, it's really gone beyond the pale. -- nm - TFox Jun 21, 14:14 3
        
        It's called "making an effort"... which is more than most of my critics deserve. -- nm - secretslacker Jun 21, 14:17 2
        
        Psst, idiot. He's not complimenting you. -- nm - Subversive Jun 21, 14:23 1
        
        I'm aware of that. I'm just saying that if someone honestly meant to offend in the first place, they would not be making the effort to resolve this. -- nm - secretslacker Jun 21, 14:25
- Your mistake continues to be that you can't understand why my original statement was funny. - secretslacker Jun 21, 13:51 1
  - you and Lenny Bruce. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 13:51
