Well, you could have used the third person but that still doesn't address my point, here.
I was commenting on your rhetorical question "you've NEVER made a mistake in your life." Then you retorted by saying how the original poster was making sweeping generalizations. What does one have to do with the other? The generalizations were something I did not address.

Two points.
1) I'm not offended by anything you said. I just disagree with the sweeping generalizations of a previous poster.
2) Whilst I still think I was right, I posted immediately afterwards saying that I hope I hadn't come across too harsh. Read the thread.

When I said you were easily offended, I was not referring to the generalizations, I was referring to your comment "using a rape as an example? That's beyond contempt."
Yes, I did notice that you said you hoped you didn't come across too harsh.
