Baal Boose–
I apologize for having offended you – I won’t say “if I offended you”, because I clearly did.
My intent wasn’t to be sarcastic, but after the jocular tone of earlier posts, and what I interpreted as your possibly joking tone – specifically the use of the word “thingy” – I wasn’t sure if you were joking or not.
Although I previously asked for mechila before Rosh Hashana, and was trying to be careful not to post anything offensive between then and Yom Kippur, I have clearly failed.
I ask for your mechila, and assure you that my prior response wasn’t intended to insult or belittle in any way.

I’m not sure if my previous post should be deleted.
Although it wasn’t my intent, it may have come across as disrespectful to others I addressed in that post.
I’ll trust your judgement.
======================================
Despite all the good that can be done here, this an an example of a potential pitfall in the CR.
Had another poster not spoken up and given me the opportunity to clarify my intent, he would have thought I had deliberately made an insulting, belittling comment.
It’s food for thought, and something I will think about.
