I was honestly trying to extend grace and calm the waters by noting, confessing that my notions of humor were obviously not everyone's.
And, by submitting to the higher standard of prefering to avoid offense with those who felt differently by acknowledging that others differed and I could accept that and go on.
Am sorry my clumsy efforts at extending grace and calming the waters failed to have such an effect.
Good night.
Your "picking at the scab" is noted.
