It is palpably clear that you meant no disrespect. Yet, also without a shadow of a doubt, the word you used could only be taken as an insult.
You should have been blocked. You weren't. You got credit for intent. That is the only explanation.
And yet, contrast this present situation with the following, from:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20040112/msgs/303220.html
"Lar: But in my heart, I know my intent was true, sincere, honest, and respectful. I believe myself to have been unfairful blocked. Let the chips fall where they may.
Bob: I believe that you meant well. But I don't think it would work to administrate based on intent, so I go by words."
Clearly, despite his overt acknowledgement of my benevolent intent, I get blocked anyway.
> Now then, (an oximoron if I ever saw one),
Cute.
> now then, please indulge me by giving me a space saving single word description of yourself-in-absentia.
Two words. Angry geek.
> Hope you continue to bring good stuff.
Sorry to disappoint. Bob won't apologize. He'll never admit he was wrong. He'll never admit his decisions were grossly unfair. I'm just trying to warn people. This is not a safe environment.
> I have stopped listening to my old albums of "The Bickersons" for interpersonal communication techniques. Do you have any of their albums?
No. <grin>
> Please just stay with the technical. You will have an audience, I assure you.
I have little doubt of that. Ask the moderator why it isn't about to happen.
