Alrighty then...

"As an inmate who tried to shed a little light on the subject by stating a neutral fact, I feel personally offended by the tone of voice in this last post of yours, CarlEber."

-Technically there's no "tone of voice" with text, but I take your meaning (it’s a shame you only remember the 5% of the post that reflected my frustration, rather than the point of the post).

You did provide a succinct and relevant reply that was neutral. I thank you. However, I feel under attack here for no justifiable reason, and it does appear to be a concerted effort. Also, um, this last post wasn’t directed specifically at you (and yet you somehow still felt the need to respond as if it was, and indeed even took personal offense to it, even though you weren’t mentioned by name in this particular post…or indeed in any of them by name…so you taking personal offense to it has me wondering if such a thing is justified in your case…if it had been directed specifically at you, it would have been a reply to your first response, and not a reply to my own initial thread posting).

I realize I used the words "no one"...they should have read, "no one but Thom P". And in any case, again it is me who feels offended here, and that above post merely reflects my own justifiable sense of frustration. Perhaps you mean to suggest that you or others are allowed to offend me, but that I cannot defend myself? I hope not.

And exactly what part of “I stand by what I have said, so there's obviously an error on the part of IMDb...” offends you, sir? Do you own that organization? I see no implied offensive tone in that statement, and since that’s the only time I’ve spoken to you in this thread (other than now), I have to wonder why you’re offended to such a personal degree, by anything I’ve said at all?

I retract (for now) any implication of you in my above post that you cite, and you need not have personalized it.

Since I see no personal attack on you here by me, I see no reason to apologize in a technical sense, to you. However, if you are offended by THIS reply, then I DO apologize. Again, your first reply was relevant information, so again I thank you, but my response to it wasn’t offensive, it was merely my thoughts as they related to the subject (which was obvious, I believe).
