No, no, no... You claim that your comment at #99 was a bad attempt at humor. I'll take you at your word.
But look at the subsequent posts. NO ONE got it. Everyone else saw it as an insult, including her. If it was humor, once it became clear that your joke fell flat, what should your response have been?
Seems reasonable to me to offer a mea culpa at that point... defuse the whole thing. Instead, you said... "Please don't waste my time with stupid answers. You're incapable of thinking." At that point you went from inadvertent insult to foot-in-mouth disease. That's when you started getting slammed, and not just by her.
If this is a misunderstanding, whose responsibility is that?
Yours.
So at this point, you don't have the prerogative of deciding whether or not someone you've insulted deserves an apology. You need to step up.
If it'll make you feel better, I apologize for suggesting that you should bleat like a sheep.
