Anyway, let me try that again:
"I offered advice i thought was good, and I offered it in good faith. When I read your response, I felt rejected and frankly, rather insulted. That might have been my perception, and I'm sorry that we weren't able to help one another this time."
I hope that's better. It's late, and I am tired, so it may -- well, I was about to say it might not reflect any sort of articulateness, but that can probably be said about most of my posts...
