There's no *if*. I don't know how many people are here either, but there's at least one poster other than me saying explicitly that your comments hurt them. At this point, reading all your responses, I feel like you've pulled every trick in the "shitty manipulative internet argument" handbook - the condescension, the repeated twisting of reasonable arguments to make it seem like you're being unfairly victimised, the insistence in the face of all evidence that you and you alone have good intentions, and now the fauxpology. All that's left now is the dramatic flounce.
