It may have been to ward off reaction to my posting an article.
I think it should go without saying that I did not do so in order to stir the pot. I have more than enough issues to deal with in daily life.
If I crossed a line, I apologise.
You shared a news article bud, you did not hold a gun to someone head and made them read and agree with it. Honestly, the response is absurd, no need to apologize for any rational reason.
