I want to ask if this is just a casual acquaintance? Although I have a sarcastic sense of humor, the people that I deal with on an on-going basis, usually know for sure if I am serious or joking. Why the misunderstanding? Were you really joking or did your remark have some "punch" behind it?
Your angry comment about the other person "someone is determined to ride on his high horse, thrive on the anger" says a lot. I know you won't like this but you seem so angry yourself.

There was no mean-spirited "punch" behind my remark. It was intended to illicit a smile.
As a sincere apology, rather than an obstinate defense, was forthcoming, and that without prompting, perhaps the offended person does choose to ride a high horse and thrive on anger. Perhaps my comment was too offensive to forgive. Perhaps my comment struck a nerve. Time will tell.
Taking into consideration your assessment of my question, it's likely you would have mistaken my intentions, too. I'll have to vanilla up more.
You are very outspoken in telling me what you think you know about me. I will certainly take that into the consideration your opinion merits.

Bob, although I don't know you personally, I think you are honest and straight talking, we say outspoken over here ( not sure if you use that word so much in America) ,it's meant in a nice way. I'm outspoken, and I don't have a problem with anyone who is , in fact I prefer that. If this person new you well, they should know when you are joking or not. I would contact them again, and offer my apologies once more, and then say to them, look old friend what I said was meant as a joke , now get off your high horse and forget it.

My response could have easily been a clearcutting of her forest of lies, and solved nothing. I've done what I can for now. Thanks for understanding. I always appreciate your outspoken words, because you are also considerate.
