I'm sorry.

If I could delete it I would. I obviously gave offense. I did not mean to do that. I did not mean my joke in that way and I hate it that I caused anyone any pain. Absolutely fucking hate it. I am sorry.

1. I've made a similar mistake.

A regretful joke posted a while back that got locked and I couldn't delete. Lapses in judgement happen.


Oh, I see you didn't even know it could be taken that way. accidents happen

2. Me too

I know it happens because I've done it.

3. Fractured Fairy Tales was one of the joys of my youth

It makes me ill that I used EEH's work to cause pain..I mean, I didn't do it to cause pain but that doesn't really matter to people who were hurt. Pain is pain and it was my fault and I am sorry.

4. I had to do some exploring to see what you were apologizing for.

I personally give you the benefit of the doubt, and think it would have been an otherwise cute joke. I didn't see anything on his Wikipedia page that would've made me think the joke could be interpreted differently.

5. I believe that you intended no harm.

I recently deleted a post that the jury let stand after someone pointed out by PM what it was that looked bad. We all goof once in a while.

6. I gather it was taken as slang and not literal? Sweet that you apologized.

Btw I adore Edward Everett Horton and Fractured Fairy Tales too. It was so sly, and his voice just perfect.

Don't sweat.

7. I believe you!

8. No big deal.

We've all done that.

9. Pain is what I feel

in my left shoulder. What's causing it, maybe arthritis?

10. You're a good guy; don't sweat it.
