. You said that my message was offensive to you, so I am writing this note (privately) to apologize to you. Perhaps you're right. Perhaps it is a stupid, old fashioned notion to think that ridiculing someone and making them the butt of a joke is mean-spirited and serves no good purpose. Sorry for offending you and for not being able to "get it" when I am made the butt of a joke.
