Ignoring the specifics, your first paragraph applies to me. You simply decided to assume it doesn’t and stoke a fire which, as far as I was concerned, was already out.

Please don’t do that. It’s not the first time I see it. You come in, say what you want, then leave and say “you can ignore it”. So can you! You could’ve ignored it. I guarantee you that the overwhelming majority of times you do that, you’ll just make the other person mad and the situation worse. If you want to do better, and I believe you do, those backhanded dismissals need to stop.

I did not reread the whole thread before replying and should have done that at which point I would have seen your apology. I apologise for not doing that. Good on you for apologising. I will ignore more in future.
