If you think you didn't say something offensive, but the other party continues to be offended, you're mistaken. You didn't apologize. You said "I regret using the phrase "boo hoo" in such a callous manner. I realize that it has triggered an unnecessary amount of emotion for such a touchy topic." But you sure as shit didn't say it to me. You said "I'm sorry you were offended by my reaction." That's a long fucking road from "I'm sorry I offended you." It is not egocentric to think that when I tell people to back off, they're hitting emotional territory, they might want to think about backing off because they're hitting emotional territory. You have yet to apologize. You have yet to do more than say "I feel completely justified in being a dick, this is all you." You have yet to acknowledge that for two solid days, the only comment on that post was one asking me about my insight into the industry: http://hubski.com/pub?id=18672 I'm not distorting shit. I tore into you like a buzzsaw into bologna because you were a total ass not once, but twice, after being told to back down. Even once I blew the fuck up all over you, you still didn't back down to me. And now here you are, proud and mighty over taking your stand.
