> Impossible to get the "exact" tone via text.

Somewhat true, but re-read your statement again. When you don’t know me (or really anything about me), why would you imply you know my exact location and the only reason you didn’t share it was because of respecting my privacy? Your first sentence was fine (although factually incorrect), but I feel many who read your second sentence would find it to have a bit of a creepy tone (possibly why it was downvoted, but who knows what actually goes through someone’s mind who downvotes w/o commenting).

I'm sorry about that

The Japanese solved this problem. :)
