Never assume people will know you are joking.
I unintentionally insulted Kbman tonight, and he had every right to be riled. No need for details, but I am the last person to ever tell anyone how to play their game. It was intended to be a joke, but in retrospect I can see how easily it could have been taken the other way.
Though I apologized to him publicly and privately there, I felt I owed him one here too. Never had a negative thing to say about the guy and certainly don't want to start it now. He's a good guy and didn't deserve the comments I made.
Guarding my tongue more diligently in the future!
