No, you don't need to apologise for having an opinion, not even for the first post, but rather for twisting the knife when it became clear that's what you were doing.

<< don't read your own interpretation in the actions of that reader>>

You might try practicing what you preach. You ascribed anger to Post 2 where there was none, except in your interpretation.

I'm well aware of the limitations inherent in online forums - especially ones without a live messaging function. If I go back a few years and read stuff I wrote, I don't always immediately recognise myself and I *know* some people have erected a construct of me based on what they read which is a million miles from how I really am. Which is why Post 2 in the "Respectfully" thread is written the way it is.
