> I am really sorryI appreciate your apology, but even if you had not understood my post, to say "I'm grateful for never having to resort to that" That's just not a way to have a friendly conversation with someone. In this context, It's not something I would ever say to anyone I had a modicum of respect for.
Imagine my saying to you "I'm so grateful I've never had to resort to referring to philosphy theories when I need to get my point across"
In other words:Thank Heavens I've been saved from ever having to be that way! I'm so much better than that.
Fine, point out that you never tire of figuring out reasons for things, that's conversation.
I just can't fathom that even being busy would make someone say something like that.. unless it's what they really thinking and they were rushed to "make it nice" In which case, why bother responding at all if the post isn't hurting anyone, or directed toward you.
