That's interesting. It appeared to matter when a presumed member of a church other than your own had made an error.
But, now it doesn't.
If a member of whatever it is that you believe in made the same statement in sarcasm, I would post the same apology. I missed the sarcasm. If there was no levity meant, then the apology is retracted. But it was, and therefore my apology is for missing it.
